Estate Treasures and Services Helps Eagle Scout Complete His Project!

Kline, who attends Thomas Edison Middle School in Meriden and will be entering Middletown High School in the fall, is working toward his Eagle badge project. When he learned of Santiago’s situation, he made quick work of returning enough bottles and cans to purchase the $500 scooter at a discounted rate from Estate Treasures on Main Street Extension.
Shop owner Ed Margnelli made a deal, adding in an electric charger and battery, said Christine Kline, who remained “hands off” so her son could take full charge of the project.

Caring for your Artwork

Paintings will do better over time when they are displayed and stored in rooms in your home with less differentiation in the heat, cold and humidity. Living rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, etc. are better. Bathrooms, kitchens, attics and basements would be the worst!
