Too often when charities collect funds for relief efforts after a storm or they collect money to aid a very critical cause, donors are left to wonder just who benefits. Contributors give generously but seldom see the true results of their goodness. In many cases this is understandable given the conditions in a particular area ravaged by a storm or the distance between locations. And, justifiably, we trust the charity to follow through on their commitments.
I have often thought that a charity can make a great connection when donors and volunteers of an organization can come together with those who are the recipients of the gifts. Schools Count endeavors to help make these connections.
On Wednesday, October 7th Schools Count will offer just such an opportunity as we will get to meet a number of personnel from schools who have received school supplies, uniforms, band instruments, winter coats and more. I am sure these people will want to say 'thank you' in their own way.
To be a part of this wonderful evening, including a free dinner, just shoot me an email to say you will attend. The 'Appreciation Dinner' will be held on the 7th at Hinsdale Central High School in the student cafeteria. We will meet at 6:00 pm and that will be followed by dinner at 6:30. Everyone, yes, everyone is welcome!!! Just send Dick Flesher, at rich219@comcast.net, the names of those attending.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you!!!
Thanks,
Dick
