2011 was a busy year for SH4C
December 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment
SH4C membership continues to grow each month – mainly through word of mouth; evidence that good news and good work travels! This year we believe that we have drawn well over 1,000 people to the area between the various planned SH4C events.
If you are interested in joining, please contact us!
A special thank you to Maplewood at Newtown and Cascades at Bethel Health Care. These businesses alternate in providing us with a place to hold our monthly meetings (8:00 AM the first Wednesday of the month) and even include breakfast as well! You guys are awesome!
November and December 2011 were busy months for the Stony Hill Four Corners business association!
- PANCAKE BREAKFAST / AMBULANCE FUNDRAISER
The Stony Hill Volunteer Fire Department Pancake Breakfast scheduled for October was pushed into November by a freak snowstorm that downed power lines all throughout the area. In spite of, or maybe because of the cancellation of Halloween for so many kids – the turnout was the best yet. Because EVERYTHING was donated, there was a record $2,500 raised for the ambulance fund!

- FOOD DRIVE & TREE LIGHTING in STONY HILL
The Stony Hill and Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Companies collected over 3,000 lbs. of foodthe weekend before Thanksgiving, and was followed by the Stony Hill Tree Lighting with a special appearance by Santa and Mrs. Claus. The giving didn’t stop there. For weeks afterwards members of the community who were unable to attend that weekend dropped off food at Union Savings Bank. A very memorable moment occurred when a woman stopped in the branch looking for someone involved with SH4C. She explained that she and her husband had heard about our grass roots efforts, liked how and what SH4C did and wanted to make a donation. She then delivered a check for $1000.00 making it payable to Brother Hood in action. When it was explained to her how far this money would go in that Brother Hood in action would be able to purchase food/goods at a greatly reduced rate, she started crying. She said that before coming to make the donation she and her husband had prayed that this money would multiply and was overwhelmed in learning that it immediately would.It is stories like hers that keeps SH4C members inspired and wanting to do more to give back. - TOY DRIVE & TREE LIGHTING in HAWLEYVILLE
December 4, 2011 To the delight of children, young and old alike, the Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Department, assisted by Stony Hill Volunteer Fire Company, delivered Santa and Mrs. Claus. Music and entertainment provided by Wendy Mitchell’s band and children’s theater troupe, there was a huge boxful of toys collected for children whose families are participating in the Newtown Fund, and food and more provided by Papa Al’s Pizza and Hawleyville Wine and Liquors.

Stony Hill Four Corners Association Collects Abundance For Needy
Since 2007 the Stony Hill Four Corners Association has been giving back to the community with their many events and fundraisers. The association is comprised of business owners between exits 8 and 9 in the Stony Hill area of Bethel and the Mount Pleasant Road area in Newtown, down Route 25 into Hawleyville.
Over the years, the Stony Hill/Hawleyville area has come together to create a greater awareness of what the businesses in the area have to offer, while also creating ways for those businesses to give back to the community.
Over the past few months the association has given an abundance of food, toys and monetary donations to various organizations. On Nov. 19 they did their annual Stony Hill Christmas Tree Lighting and food drive for Bethel and Newtown’s food pantries. Madeline Bunt, board member and manager of Union Savings Bank on Route 6 said they collected a record amount of food this year and continue to get donations in her office.
