I want to thank you for the wonderful gifts. I so appreciate your kindness and generosity. It has been an extremely challenging year for me and my family, and knowing there are people like you to lend a helping hand, certainly eases some of the "sting".

Warmest wishes to you for a happy, healthy New Year.

Fondly,

Sandy

Dear Friend of the Mission,

During this time of celebration of Easter I wanted to take a moment and extend a thank you from all of MorningStar Mission’s staff. Without the generosity of so many, Easter in 2010 would not have been such an abundant success. Through you and the Lord’s blessings MorningStar Mission was able to provide an Easter Meal to almost 200 families and Easter gift baskets to all of the children.

To all of you who donated your time, talent and treasures. You are a true blessing during these tough economic times.

I pray that you all have a blessed Easter and I look forward to working with all of you in the future.

Sincerely,

Jackie

Dear Barnes Foundation,

How generous of you, especially during these challenging economic times, to make a gift of $3,000 to Easter Seals important direct service work for people with disabilities! I am delighted to know of your caring concern not only for Easter Seals vital in the community but of other social human service needs as well.

The gift from the Barnes Foundation will be used to support Easter Seals Wheelchair & Adaptive Seating Clinic and Autism Services, both of which have been growing and require additional donor support. I look forward to meeting you and your family at the Easter Seals Celebration of Giving Telethon.

Thanks so much.

Sincerely,

Debra
