Fall River — Imagine what your grocery bill would be if you cut $63,423 in coupons in a year’s time?
That’s how many coupons members of the AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary Post No. 60 clipped to help American veterans and their families save some cash on food purchases. For their efforts, the women won the first place Americanism Award at a state AMVETS annual convention in Sturbridge in June for their coupon collecting and for the food and clothing they donated to veterans in Fall River.
Post No. 60 also took second place for Scholarship Awards, Community Service and Child Welfare at the annual convention.
"I was so surprised. I cried,” said Bernadette Botelho, president of the Ladies Auxiliary Post No. 60. “We did excellent this year.”
