Big thanks to everyone who supported food shelf
To the Editor:
Here I am again, writing my last letter to the editor.
Now that I am officially retired, I just had to write one more letter to say a big thank you to everyone who helped me through the last 30 years.
I could not have done it alone. It took everyone to make the McLeod Emergency Food Shelf the success it is. Without the help of the many people who were on the staff, volunteers, donors, organizations, churches, schools, youth groups, the newspapers and the radio stations, it would not have been possible.
I need to say a special thanks to the newspapers that helped spread the word to the public with the many letters to the editor and the editorials that the editor wrote. The radio stations also came to the rescue many times to get the reminders out when there was a special drive. The power of the media was really shown by the response given to the Food Shelf after an article had been printed or aired.
There is no way I can truly express my great appreciation for all the support that everyone gave me. I am very proud to say that I live in McLeod County, a county that cares for their neighbors.
Thanks again, everyone, for all that you have done for me. Please keep up your support for Lennie Albers, my replacement. She will be an excellent replacement.
