Dear Friend of St. George Church,

We, the parishioners of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, would like to take this opportunity to Thank You for your generous donation that was made to our first “Live and Silent Auction”. The auction was held on October 18, 2003 and was a great success. We grossed well over $22,000.00.

The funds that we realize from our effort will go a long way in funding some of the many programs that the church sponsors to help not only people in the City of Lynn, but throughout the greater Lynn area. One such program is the “Caring and Sharing” program, which provides Thanksgiving food baskets to many low-income families and elderly in our community. We also participate in the annual free Thanksgiving dinner that is served to more than 1000 people in the Lynn and Boston areas. This dinner is held at “Brother’s Deli” in Lynn and take-out orders are sent to the Victory program in Boston. “Caring and Sharing” also sponsors an annual Christmas party for the families of the SPIN (Sewing People In Need) homeless shelter program. This party is held in our community center and is attended by more than 100 families. Each child receives a gift picture with Santa, lunch and prizes. Caring and Sharing is not limited to just Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We help people all year long. In the past we have paid rent for people facing eviction, we have paid utility bills and provided food to those who may need assistance.

In closing, “Thank You” for your generous contribution to our fundraiser and we wish you a happy and healthy 2004.

Sincerely,

Charles Lambesis
Parish Council President

Dear Amy,

On behalf of Community Enterprises, I would like to thank you for your contribution to our fifth annual golf fundraiser. Your donation, which was used in our raffle prize drawing and silent auction, helped to raise $7,500 for our programs and services for individuals with disabilities.

I am happy to tell you that this year we have earmarked much of our net proceeds to our Holyoke Career Center. This Center provides career development and assessment functions for our consumers and also assists them in their pursuit of G.E.D.’s.

Dear Naomi;

I write this letter to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for your generosity and support of our First Harvest Auction. It started out as a simple idea passed on from one parishioner to another. With God’s inspiration and grace, over the summer this simple idea became a well-developed ambitious plan. The plan, thanks to the tremendous dedication and work of many hands, grew into a much -anticipated event.

Your donation of the Gift Certificate to this event was greatly appreciated. The many donated items helped to fill the variety of theme baskets, silent auction tables, raffles and live auction. The evening was filled with fun, laughter, excitement and joy.

I truly appreciate all you did for this Harvest Auction and all you do throughout the year that allows our St. John Neumann Catholic Community to continue to fulfill the mission of Jesus Christ in our time and place.

In closing know that you are in our prayers and May God Bless you.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Agapit H. Jean, Jr.
Pastor
