Happy New Year!! What a year 2020 was! Many unprecedented things happened in 2020 because of the pandemic. I am looking forward to seeing God’s grace, blessings, and His purpose in 2021.
I hope you had a great holiday!! We are ready to embark on 2021! Thank you for the many kind wishes and remembrances you bestowed on me this Christmas! I am touched by your kindness! You all are very special to me and I am blessed to know you!
Thank you for your generosity during this Christmas season. You gave generously to our Advent bags project for our “shut-in” older citizens in our church. We have 40 older citizens who enjoyed opening a gift each day during Advent from generous givers like you! In addition, you gave generously to remember our security officers…we have seven officers and each officer received $200. To say they were touched is to put it mildly! They couldn’t believe it, and each one expressed deep appreciation to you! Thank you to Avery Raptis for organizing the remembrance of our officers.
Consignment Sale News: Mark your calendar… Next Sale: February 26 and 27! This sale is our Spring/Summer Sale! Our Fall Sale was an amazing success in the midst of a pandemic!

Please pass this information along to your friends and invite them to join us for this informative session.

I always have genuinely appreciated your support of our program. But, in the midst of all that has been going on, you have continued to send your child, and we appreciate your trust in us to take care of your child. You have been supportive of the changes we have made in procedures and protocols. Thank you! I hope 2021 is a year filled with God’s Blessings for you and your family!
Blessings and Peace!
