Drury fundraiser at Desperado's today to benefit U.S. troops

NORTH ADAMS -- Drury High School's AP Literature and Composition class will hold an event on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at Desperado's Fresh Mexican Grille, 23 Eagle St., to raise money for Boxes of Love, a local project to collect and send supplies to troops in Afghanistan.

A portion of the proceeds from lunch and dinner will be donated to Boxes of Love, an organization spearheaded by Patty Erdeski, mother of a Drury graduate currently serving in Afghanistan.

Boxes of necessary supplies -- including wet cloths, clothing, medical needs and non-perishable items -- are shipped to soldiers serving in Afghanistan.
