Whittier Place thanks the community

To the editor:

The Whittier Place Adult Home, in Ghent, would like to express heartfelt “thank you’s” to everyone who helped make this year’s Carnival a HUGE success. Once again, your kind and generous donations enabled us to create another “day of dreams” for our residents and 600 community guests.

Your many raffle donations and volunteer work helped us surpass our past events in a much bigger and better way.

There are too many names to list here, but we believe you all know who you are. Each and every one of our families, friends and local (and not so local!) businesses that lent valuable time and treasures will truly remain in our hearts forever. We are honored and blessed to know each and every one of you.

We would also like to extend a very special “thank you” to PJ and Kathy Keeler for their “over the top” donation for our Military Card Project. They bestowed over 5,000 Hallmark cards upon us for this very special project. Because of their extravagant gift, we have written over 10,000 Christmas (and all occasion) cards for our deployed troops. This will brighten their holiday season with a “small touch of home.”
