Again thanks to all of you for making our search for Billy grow bigger and stronger each week so that Billy's Guiding Light of Hope will lead us to his RETURN. Another community voice newspaper THE CITIZEN'S NEWS which goes to residences in Beacon Falls, Naugatuck, and Prospect did an article and photo of Billy in their January 28, 2005 edition. Our thanks for the great article goes out to Kendra Bobbowick, Managing Editor, and the CITIZEN'S NEWS STAFF. We are sending out a HUGE THANK YOU to EVERYONE that has been asking for and distributing Billy's new reward posters and labels!!! The list of friends and family's names would just go on and on and on. We still need MORE HELP!!! We need to get the posters and labels into EVERY PUBLIC place imaginable!! Yes it is a big task but with some volunteers and determination it can be accomplished. You can call us or e-mail us and we would get posters or labels out to you!!! Out of all the newspapers that were contacted about Billy being missing for 6 months last week only 2 came through so far!!! A thank you to Samantha M. Friedrich, Editor at The Thomaston Express and also Robyn Adams at the Republican-American published articles on Billy. Here is just one example how important it is to keep Billy in the public eye. Pastor Mike Gaynor of The Bible Church of Waterbury was reading his newspaper when he came across Billy’s article and read how it has already been 6 months that Billy has been missing. The next day at his Church Services Pastor Mike did a portion of his special intentions based on Billy’s Story along with their Strong Power of Prayer. Just goes to show you how important these articles are for our continuing search for our SON, BROTHER, NEPHEW, UNCLE, and FRIEND BILLY SMOLINSKI, JR. We are very happy to say that a Printing Company in Waterbury, JOSEPH MERRITT & COMPANY, 488 Watertown Ave., Waterbury, CT. 06708 203-753-2721 (www.merrittgraphics.com) responded to our request for a thousand copies of Billy's new reward poster at a terrific price and a very professional job. Our Thanks and Gratitude go to the owners and staff. To: The Downtown Merchants in Seymour, CT We would like to extend our gratitude for the warm welcome from all the downtown merchants in Seymour, CT. They all accepted Billy's Reward posters and placed them on their front windows or bulletin boards. Seymour has a group of merchants which belong to what they call 'First Saturdays'. On the first Saturday of each Month from 5pm to 9pm the stores stay open and you could even have some good snacks while shopping within walking distance of other stores. Thank you all for displaying Billy's posters and we hope that the surrounding towns in the area are as kind. Upcoming 'First Saturday' Events: A special thanks goes out to SOPHIE ZEMBRUSKI'S POLISH EAGLE SHOW AND WATR RADIO STATION We need to send out more Thank You's. It was another successful weekend for getting BILLY'S REWARD POSTERS into the PUBLIC EYE. CHANNEL 30 NEWS on Friday evening during its 5:30pm NEWSCAST aired Billy's Story. They showed The Poster and was broadcast live in front of The Waterbury Police Dept. Also many thanks to all the BUSINESSES from BETHANY down through WOODBRIDGE and into AMITY PLAZA and surrounding areas. Everyone was very concerned. It was refreshing to see how many people already new about Billy being missing from information on the NEWSCASTS, NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, seeing the flyers in other towns and even by getting on this GREAT GUARDING ANGELS WEBSITE. The store owners and managers placed Billy's Reward Posters right on their store front windows or doors. Also THANKS TO ALL OF YOU that have been asking for BILLY'S FLYERS and have been either mailing them out or distributing them out into the PUBLIC EYE!!!! |
