Members of Old Lyme EMS passed the boot to raise money for families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown on Saturday and found locals in a giving mood.
Old Lyme EMS Chief Jim Jake and ambulance member Frank Geer organized the "Fill The Boot" fundraiser, which was held on Halls Road in front of Big Y supermarket from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The effort raised a whopping $10,000 for the Newtown Family Fund.
