the terrible tragedy, which occurred on April 21 of this year in Lakemoor. The Damiano family lost everything in a fire. Today Dunkin Donuts presented the Damiano
family with a check for $400 as part of a fundraising effort held at the Dunkin
Donuts located at 4502 W ELM. Thank you
Dunkin Donuts for assisting the Damiano family in their time of need!
