Will You Be Mine???
Our kids had a blast making Valentines for our donors this month with volunteersfrom Saint Francis High School! They needed very little prompting - when askedwhat they wanted to say, they responded in unison: "Thank You!" Some were morespecific: "Thank you for the food!""Thank you for the coat, and everything!""Thank you for your 'kindnis!'" We couldn't have said it better! Here's wishing you all a wonderful Valentine's Dayspent with those you love most!
