Thank-You

The village would like to thank all of you who responded so quickly and generously to the request for supplies to assist the stranded travelers who found their way to the community building during the storm last week. The donations, whether it was your time or goods, enabled us to cook up quite a feast and serve many thankful guests. We would like to pass on the appreciation of the travelers; they could not say enough about the hospitality of the village and its residents. We would also like to acknowledge and thank those who offered items that we either did not get picked up or they were no longer needed. The response was overwhelming and the need was met very quickly. Any items that were unopened and we could not remember who donated them have been sent to the local food pantry.

Although we know we could not keep track of all of you who helped during such a busy time, we would especially like to thank the following:

Alicia & Bob Bott Casey, Brian Hull & Family Mark Schoon
Pastor Bill Callister Tim Davis - State Police Angela Kinstner-St. Police
