GOP Town Committee Gives to Operation Troop Support

This article was submitted by the Swampscott Republican Town Committee.

The Swampscott Republican Town Committee recently held their annual holiday party last Monday evening at in Swampscott with the theme of "It's Better to Give than Receive."

With that notion in mind, the committee set out to raise funds for Operation Troop Support. OTS was established in March 2003 on Boston’s North Shore area and is dedicated to providing comfort and care to our active duty military.

As a volunteer based nonprofit organization, they provide the opportunity for our community members to express their appreciation and also offer support for our troops.

The SRTC presented a generous gift to Operation Troop Support’s local representatives Carol Slavin from Marblehead and Pat Johnson from Peabody who attended the event.

Although unable to attend, Susan Withrow, the SRTC Chairman said "during this joyous season we feel it is so important to take the time to reflect upon the things you are grateful for and how we can help others."

"Helping Operation Troop Support was an obvious choice and a great way to give back to others who so selflessly protect and defend our freedoms," she said. "We truly appreciate the many sacrifices our soldiers and their families make.”

The Swampscott Republican Town Committee is an active organization with a full slate of committee members and we welcome all to join us.
