Thank You, Everyone!
Remember the envelopes we placed into our last issue to encourage Newsletter contributions? That was a first for us; we weren’t sure what would happen. We found out soon enough, for your response was absolutely super. Through mid-January, we raised nearly $3500, from 116 separate Newsletter households.
With your help, we exceeded even our own hopes and expectations.* All this means we’re in pretty good financial shape for the year ahead. At some point after that, we’re likely to be asking again; but that’s in the future.
More than that: With many of your contributions, we also received handwritten notes of support. Everyone likes to feel supported, ourselves included. It makes us feel good – and it vividly reminds us that we have a lot to live up to.
We are very grateful for your donations; yet we are even more grateful to know that there are so many of you out there who care about the Newsletter, and about our neighborhood, and who are willing to provide both material and moral support to help make our lives to- gether better and stronger. We are hopeful, for all of us.
At this point, we’ve run out of words. So thank you, from deep down.
