“No one has ever become poor by giving.” — Anne Frank, “The Diary of Anne Frank” (play)
If this is true, then all those mentioned here are perhaps the richest people known. By their extended hands of help, new hope has been given to those we serve.
These hands also come with names like: Carol Lombard, Sara Bowen, Katie Grant, Betty Bolduc, Mary Kenney, Ann Marie Kenney, Sue Hillman/Beverly Haid, Dr. Ronald and Joyce Bissell, Paul Warner, Laurie Gene Mygatt, Lorraine Perron, David Snooh, Martha Taylor, Catherine and Philip Curtis, Ron and Rachel Bolduc, Sue Beaulier, A.G. Coulombe, Karin Olson, Grace Lashua, Saco Book Discussion Club, James M. Farr, Marian Orr, Sylvia Searle, Lorraine Weiss Jones, Ann King, Rick Gerrish, Nancy Phillips, Natalie Skelton, Grace Agayoff, Cornelia and Richard Sayer, Cheryl O’Heir, Bernadette Coulombe, Ronald and Patricia Harwood, Rita Shaw, Michael Godkin, Jean Leach, Dorothy Jarry, and Germaine and Gregory Dumas.
There are also businesses and organizations such as: Mike Paul and the Ride and Rock participants, Don Pilon, Proctor and Gamble Auburn, Cardullo Investments Inc., the Sheriff ’s Office and Girl Scouts of Maine Troop 100, Saco Bay Variety, Casella Waste Systems, Saco and Biddeford Savings Institution, Without a Trace and all that made use of that service, The Ramada Inn Saco, Trader Joe of Portland, and the apples of our eyes… the Lake View, and Smith and Kelly Orchards.
Our apologies are also extended to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sawyer, Lois Merry and those of the York County Jail who were inadvertently not mentioned last month.
We thank all at our houses of worship: Trinity Episcopal, First Parish and North Saco Congregational, Unitarian Universalist of Saco and Biddeford, Cornerstone Methodist, Bath Church of the New Jerusalem, Bible and United Baptist, Most Holy Trinity, St. Demetrious, St. Augustine and Hope Churches.
Other businesses: Sure Winner Foods, Shaw’s Saco, Saco Hannaford, Hair Works, Fernleaf Bakery, Little Wonders Day Care, and this newspaper.
As we stand to honor John Reynolds on his birthday, we also bow our heads with Roger and Mary Ann Martin in remembrance of Jean Leach.
By the concern shown for last month’s 632 people in need, another mile on the road they travel has been made straighter and smoother. To all those mentioned, those who remain standing in the shadows and wish to remain anonymous, and on behalf of the over 50 volunteers acting in your stead, thank you. May all and your families find good health, sunshine and God’s blessings.
