Dear Mr. Monks and Kiwanis Members,

On behalf of St. Barnabas Parish Outreach, I want to personally thank you so very much for sponsoring the children of one of our clients for Kamp Kiwanis. Your generosity allowed this sister and brother to spend a very special week together away at your camp,. The mom recently called to thank me for the wonderful opportunity her children were given. Many thanks to Irene Stacy for all her help in making this happen. Her numerous phone calls and trips to my office to make sure everything was in place was very appreciated. Thank you Irene for all your hard work. Your efforts did not go unnoticed.

Kiwanis has always held a reputation for helping the needy. Over the years your organization has helped so many of our families who were experiencing a difficult time. I couldn't do what I do without people like you who generously give of your time to assist our neighbors in need. Please know I appreciate all you do for St. Barnabas.

Sincerely,
Susan. L. Brucia
Outreach Director

Dear Members of the Kiwanis Club,

This summer will be so much happier for a few of our families because of your kindness and generosity.  The community of St. Barnabas the Apostle, along with the St. Vincent de Paul Society and St. Barnabas Outreach, is most grateful for your generous donation of pool passes.  The children have been really enjoying the pool especially this past week with the heat wave we're experiencing.  A special thanks to Judy Mankita for arranging all the details and the numerous calls she made coordinating the passes. She is full of endless energy and a real pleasure to work with.

We could not do what we do if it weren't for your generosity and the passion you all have for touching the lives of your neighbors in need.  Please know that your efforts continue to assist all who come through our doors.  Thank you again for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,
Susan Brucia
Director
