Thank you notes

Elder Sisters Committee

On behalf of the Elder Sisters Committee, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all who made this year's outing a huge success. I especially want to thank the committee: Jane Burbank, Clara O'Malley, Dolly Herrick and Alice Nahatis. Special thanks to Denise Samolchuk, Leslie Davidson, Joan Houghton, Kathy Curran Chalmers, Christina Barrett, Johanna Kadra, Connie Brown, Mark Hammond, Larry Hall, George Nickless, Mike Divone and Crosby's Market, Curran Brothers Florist, Barby Almy and the Causeway Restaurant (Jimmy and crew)! It is with much appreciation that I thank all of you for sharing your time and energy on behalf of the Elder Sisters of Manchester.

Heartfelt thanks to Susan Beckman, whose wise words on volunteerism could not have been more appropriate; it is because of the dedication and energy of all volunteers involved each and every year that make this day so successful.

Sincerely,

Nancy Hammond
