We have received a thank-you letter:
Dear Sister Connie and Parish Members:
On behalf of Community Maternity Services, the staff and I would
like to thank everyone who donated items for the Father’s Day
Baby Shower in June benefiting our Maternity Outreach Program.
The diapers, wipes, books, blankets, towels, clothes, etc. are items
we are always in need of and happy to receive. Our families are so
appreciative of the beautiful clothes and supplies. We feel very
blessed by your giving and want to express our appreciation for
your thoughtfulness. May God richly bless your parish for the
compassion and generosity you continually show our program and
clients.
Thank you,
Deborah Coyle, Program Director
Community Maternity Services, Schoharie-Otsego Counties
