Dear Gerry, Martin & Jeff:
There has been a flurry of activity around the Senior Center lately and finally the
dust has settled. I now have an opportunity to put my pen to paper and once agai
"Thank You" for your ongoing support and generosity.
Each year the monies that you have raised from the golf tournament and the dinne
ticket sales have enabled us to expand our programs and services and offer some
things that might otherwise not be possible. For example, we have received a
donation of used computers from the City and funds that have been raised will be
used so appropriate software, necessary repairs, and access to the Internet will
become a reality. This will make it possible for Seniors to become more
comfortable with the "computer mania" that they are exposed to on a daily basis.
We are anticipating the coming months to be very exciting. We have some new
faces on staff who are full of bright ideas for new activities, classes and events.
Your donation of $3,491 will assist with our ability to create and offer these new
programs.
Your support has helped to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of Seniors.
Although "thank you" seems so inadequate, please know that we are very gratefu
for your commitment to the Carlsbad Senior Center and once again you have our
"Thanks " .
Sincerely,
M-
Sue Schultz Spickard
Senior Center Coordinator
