This is a bit delayed, but I just wanted to reach out with an update and huge thank-you regarding the Front Steps Project fundraiser that we wrapped up in early June.
Between May 10 and June 5, households in Lincoln participated by posing for a five-minute photo shoot outside their homes and received digital copies in exchange for a donation to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which operates the town’s food pantry and provides financial support to those in need. In the end, 89 households participated over 12 shooting days, and together we raised well over $7,000!

I would like to thank Kristen Collins and Cara Soulia for starting the Front Steps Project in Needham back in March and for their guidance along the way. I’d also like to thank Ursula Nowak, Tomasina Lucchese, and Sarah Bishop for their help with organizing, spreading the word, and processing donations. Most of all, thank-you to all the incredible people who participated in this project. You are what makes Lincoln great and your generosity will help ensure that everyone who calls it home can stay here safely and happily.
Keep an eye out for some of the photos on my car in the 4th of July parade!
