On April 5th, First City Cars and Trucks made a donation to help support the students of Nute High School who will be traveling to Ecuador over spring break. These students will be spending three days providing volunteer service to a smal community in the Amazon Basin and learning about what it truly means to be a global citizen. This donation helped the students raise funds to offset the cost of this once in a lifetime experience.

Last October, the faculty, students and parents of the Gonic School were devastated by the news of the passing of Harrison Nadeau. Harrison was not only a student at Gonic School, but he was also one of the Nadeau Quadruplets in the first grade. The loss of Harrison has been felt across the Gonic Community. To honor Harrison, the Gonic PTA has decided to install a granite bench engraved with his name and a quote in front of the school. In order to do this the Gonic PTA will need to raise nearly $4,000 to finalize the project and is seeking donations to help with the cost. First City Cars and Trucks has made a donation to help with the expenses but we are asking for your help. If you or anyone you know may be interested in assisting with the efforts, a tax deductible donation can be mailed to
