Thanks to our friends who turned out to support this very important cause; special thanks to Clarice King for allowing us to utilize Two Eagle River school; TERS kitchen staff Tamie Todd, Lena Burland and Josie Alexander for use of the kitchen and donating the food; my special friend, Cheryl Morigeau, for her tireless effort and time spent on top of her full time job at the school to assist in any way possible (she's always right beside me frying bread); Eve Krantz for helping me solicit donations, her devotion to the cause; Jasmine Bocksnick and Shane Morigeau (Cheryl's grandchildren) for helping in the kitchen and cleaning the facility. It makes me proud to see such young children so willing to help out. Our benefit fundraiser was a success.

Each time I received a donation, it brought tears to my eyes. Each of you gave without hesitation. I feel very proud to be part of such a giving, caring community. Thank you.
