(This letter to the Editor was published in the Clarence Bee).
Once again the people of Western New York have lived up to their reputation as being some of the most generous people in America.
As New York State Manager of Soldiers' Angels (www.soldiersangels.com) I initiated a donation drive to send stockings to our soldiers overseas for Christmas. Thank you so much to the Clarence Public Library. They offered to be a drop-off site for the donations. In a time of fiscal uncertainty and many library closings this shows how much a part of the community our libraries are!
It was amazing and touching to see the support given for the soldiers. There were letters and cards from cub scout troops, churches, classrooms, individuals, brownie groups, and many others! The generosity of everyone was OVERWHELMING!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I was able to fill 50 stockings AND send another 50 boxes to our heroes overseas!
God bless each of you and have a Merry Christmas! I know our soldiers will!
