SEYMOUR - Meghan Tarby, executive director of the nonprofit Connecticut Partnership for Children, is holding a diaper collection Saturday to assist local families struggling to make ends meet.
Tarby is a remarkable young woman who is active in the community.
In addition to running the nonprofit organization she founded in 2009, she owns Looking Glass Events, LLC, and The Mad Hatter Boutique, 5 Bank St.
Looking Glass Events recently donated more than $13,000 toward renovation costs of the Strand Theater marquee, which made its debut last week. Tarby, through Looking Glass Events, produced two burlesque shows at the theater at 165 Main St. to raise the funds.
According to a story written by my colleague, Register correspondent Jean Falbo-Sosnovich, "The drive is scheduled for Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to noon outside the Connecticut Partnership for Children office at 135 Main St. Donors won’t even need to get out of their cars, as the volunteers will be ready to collect items as you ‘drive by.’
"Tarby said new, unopened packages of diapers and baby wipes, as well as Pull-ups in sizes 2T-5T, are needed. Gift cards to area grocery stores or retailers such as Target and Walmart are also welcome."
Tarby is to be commended for her dedication to helping others and giving back to the community.
