Let me start by thanking some of those who helped make the success that we have had. The people who helped cook, prepare food, those who cleaned up, others who served food and that was just about our wonderful meal.
Thanks to those who donated food, cash, personal care items and then showed up to pack the boxes and carry them to the truck that the food bank had sent.
A special thanks to those who helped decorate, create and post signs. I’m sure I have forgotten others. But you can see that it takes a lot of our members to pull off an event like this.
With all that help we gathered together for a New Year’s luncheon, played games (football throw was a success) and watched a little football on TV as well as getting to know some of our neighbors.
As a recap, the first year we collected 625 pounds of food and donated $1,337.38. The second year we collected 890 pounds of food and donated $2,159.00.
Here is the final count for this, our third year. We, as a park, donated 684 pounds of food and personal care items. We collected $3,516.00.
Congratulations to all of you!
Again thanks to all who helped, donated and attended.
Sincerely, Joy Stalnaker
