Stonington The Ocean Community Chamber Foundation has announced that it has donated more than $35,000 in profits from sales of its Pop Up Book of Stonington to a wide variety of local organizations, with more donations to come.
The success of the book follows that of the chamber s Westerly pop up book, which raised $80,000, all of which was donated to charitable projects and nonprofit organizations.
The chamber printed 4,000 copies of the Stonington book, which was released before Christmas. About 1,000 copies remain. We re absolutely thrilled with the response, and I ve gotten a lot of nice notes from people about the book and families who gave it as a gift, said chamber President Lisa Konicki. It s been really nice, really gratifying.
