Melanie Sachs, right, executive director of Freeport Community Services, accepts a ceremonial check from Brooks Brothers Factory Store officials last Thursday at the store, located in Freeport Village Station. From left are Sharon Blake, store manager, and Norman Bisson of Freeport, assistant manager. Bisson applied to the Golden Fleece Foundation, part of the Brooks Brothers social service commitment, for a grant, and the Freeport store was one of 10 in the country, out of 79 applicants, to receive a Golden Fleece Foundation Grant, which in this case was a runnerup grant. Sachs said the money will be used to send five at-risk kids to the Summer Camp Scholarship Program run by Freeport Community Services.Staff photo by Larry Grard
