Brent, I received the package from Tammi Pudlo. The pictures were great ! A bit of infomation, my great uncle was William Vrettas. He was the president / director of the Lowell Boys Club. He never made much money ( that wasn't why he did it ) but he changed the lives of an a significant number of children ( including me ). I have fond memories of those days ( summer camp, boxing, meeting other kids ) and ever since, I've had a soft spot for the Boys Club. You can count on additional support.

Thanks SFOC! Actually I sent out the package, I had one of the members take the picture (Dan B. he is part of a group called IMAGE MAKERS a Boys & Girls Clubs of America National Program, it's basiclly a photo club), the thank you card was signed by members of the Teen Center, and tax ID letter was typed by Tammi (she's the Unit Director and my boss).

The letter kind of had a basic thank that talked about the importance of your donation yada yada, I would like to say that it all might sound like a cliche, but it's not. Every bit helps and we really need it. Currently our budget is struggling. We will be $150,000 in the red for our budget at the end of the fiscal calendar/year. Your donation won't solve that problem, but like I said every dollar counts! We'll be OK we always find a way to make things work out. On behalf of the staff and membership thank you for your donation!

I just wanted to let you know that today, the last day of school before Christmas vacation, I was able to let my kids unwrap the books I bought them using the very generous amazon.com gift certificate I received.
I explained the whole story to the class (as to where the $ came from) and they were extremely excited and thankful. It is great to be able to share a story of kindness being spread since in our classroom we try to do the same thing. My kids all wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU for their presents!
