Dear Nicky,

Thank you so much for your generous gift to our auction and raffle at our thirteenth Annual Awards Gala on February 27, 2010

the event was a great success on many levels. We gave well deserved recognition to our ten honorees for their volunteer and humanitarian efforts on behalf of our community: Gretchen Prater, Linda Bowers, Jack Bowers, doris burn, Bonnie Carter, Peter Giuffra, Peter Hughes, Anthony Ian Narone, Jane Marcus and Alma Schneider

We received overwhelming support of more than 550 individuals and businesses. the funds we raised support the many essential services we provide to Montclair, Glen Ridge and Nutley. these include local disaster assistance, transportation, health and safety classes, shopping for shut-ins, blood drives, nutley Food Pantry and service to military families.

Again, on behalf of our Board of Directors and Gala Committee, thank you so very much for your support of the Red Cross. We hope you will continue to support us at next year’s event!

Sincerely yours,

Susann connors
