Many thanks for your generosity in contributing the delicious baked goods for our community service night at Bradford School back in December. We heard many “oohs” and “aahs” from the folks (and their kids) who attended. “The almond toffee brittle was awesome,” said one child. (And one mother remarked that she wanted to hide the box of almond toffee brittle somewhere so she could eat the whole thing.) There were a lot of cheers for the rum cake and the banana-split cupcakes, too.

We hope you know that we promoted your goodies a couple of times throughout the evening. Of course, Mesiah Event Planners was highlighted and officially thanked in the January issue of our school’s monthly newsletter, which goes home to parents in the children’s backpacks.

Thanks again. We appreciate your involvement in our school event and your help in making the evening such a scrumptious one.

Sincerely,

Cassandra Bollinger – Corresponding Secretary

Bradford PTA

Thank you again for your annual appeal donation to the Montclair Public Library Foundation. This donation will be used to purchase an engraved brick. The brick will be placed in the spring once the ground warms up. When your brick has arrived I will call you to set up a time for you to select your location.

Your support helps the Montclair Public Library fulfill its mission of providing an environment which supports and stimulates self education, lifelong learning and information literacy. Libraries are critical components of communities. They are the keepers of our stories and the source for information that is available to all of our citizens.

Your gift means that we can better serve those who depend upon the Montclair Public Library for learning and entertainment. Thank you, again, for supporting our efforts.

Sincerely,

Thank you so much for helping to make our Second Annual Cooked and Uncorked Food and Wine Festival such a huge success! It was a SOLD-OUT event. Some of the feedback we received was … “The best food and wine event / have ever been to”… ” / am definitely going to make a reservation at that restaurant”… “what an amazing cross-section of restaurants”… and “great, extensive selection of wines and spirits”. There was also one unanimous request, “/ hope you are going to continue this every year”.

The success of our event would not have been possible without your generosity and the generosity of another 38 restaurants, 15 wine distributors, and 12 fire departments; all willing to showcase one of their signature dishes or wines to the nearly 850 guests in attendance that evening. We hope you enjoyed the event as much as our guests.

We are proud of the enormous media coverage that we received that evening. We had reporters from FIOS I, News 12, the Star Ledger, and Tri-County Journal. We feel confident that this year’s coverage will help to make next year’s event even larger and more successful.

Again, thank you for being a part of a very special evening and we hope to see you again next year. Mark your calendar for January 28, 2013.

Sincerely,

Chief J. Michael Roberts

FMBA Co-Chairman
