To the editor:

As folks prepare for the onslaught of the commercial aspects of the holiday season, we ask people to remember the folks living amongst and around us who are not as fortunate as we are. There are many opportunities to support our friends and neighbors, but one way in particular not only keeps the donations local but is also a fun activity for the entire community: COMMUNITY-WIDE MOVIE BENEFITING THE HUMAN SERVICES HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE! On Monday, Dec. 7, the Darien Youth Commission, the Darien Playhouse, Helping Hand/the Depot and the Darien Human Services Department will be partnering for this annual gift drive. _________
