Dear Matt and Friends at South Whidbey Assembly of God,
Thank you for honoring the Good Cheer staff and volunteers with your spectacular evening of fine food and appreciation. From the moment we walked in, we knew it would be a special evening. The warmth brought out by the festive table decorations was so welcoming. The whole evening was so well planned and the joy of service was evident in all of the folks who volunteered that evening.
The evening held so many special moments from the presentation of the plaque from Norma Smith and Helen Price Johnson to the wonderful food. The coffee bar was a big hit on such a wintery night. We appreciated being able to participate with our program while you took care of all the details for the dinner.
Our staff and volunteers work hard every day to bring a better tomorrow to the South Whidbey community. We try to say thank you every time someone volunteers but we are not always successful. What is great about an evening like you put on for us is twofold. One, we get to say thank you in a very joyful way. Two, our volunteers get to see others who they had no idea were working towards the same goal. Many of our volunteers only know their small part of the whole. Saturday helped to bring our organization together in a way that is challenging on a regular basis.
In light of the tragedy that occurred Friday, Saturday became even more meaningful in that we were reminded to look for the helpers as Mr. Roger’s mother advised him to do. We found these helpers within our own ranks and within the beauty of your congregation. Evenings like Saturday remind us of how compassionate we are as a community.
May this Christmas season reveal more miracles that come from our kind-hearted community. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
With Gratitude,
