Letter of Thanks Hello all, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much for all of your extremely generous contributions to my Girl Scout Gold Award Leader- ship Project. While many of you are relieved to be rid of those old stuffed animals you had hiding in your attic, the donations will truly make a differ- ence in the lives of children in need. I am beyond grateful for all of you because you have helped me make my project a success. I truly could not have done this project without the help of numer- ous individuals and groups who went above and beyond for me. I would like to give special thanks to Daisy Troop 5137, Roxbury High School Key Club, Nixon Elementary School, and Roxbury Rotary Club. I would like to especially thank Charlie Uhrmann, General Wil- liam Phillips and Colonel William Cole for their critical work on this project. Inside this newsletter, you will find a short review of my project and the steps involved in making it a success. I was also sure to include the turnout of my project. I hope you enjoyed working on this pro- ject as much as I did. Thank you for all your hard work, it certainly makes a difference in many lives. Sincerely, Michaela Patoilo The H.U.G.S.
