NEW BERLIN – The Stewart’s Shop in downtown New Berlin donated $2,230 to the village this week. The money was raised between Thanksgiving and Christmas as a part of the convenience store’s Holiday Match Program.

“This is really appreciated,” said Mayor Terry Potter upon receiving the check Thursday. “This will go a long way towards helping kids around the area this summer.”

Joe Brunetta, general manager of the gas station and store, said he is proud to be a part of the community and has always felt welcome by the village.

“This program is a way for us to give back to the community,” said Brunetta. “We’re all very glad to be a part of it ... it’s nice that we can add to the culture and quality of life in the area.”

Brunetta added that he looks forward to the various events that the village puts on each year including the New Berlin Youth Days.
