I am delighted to report that the Lion's Host Club raised $ 670.46 at the Post Office. Wow, that's great! You did an outstanding job.
Thank you so much for all that you did to make Saturday such a great morning at the Post Office. The members of Lima Sr. High Band did an excellent job as well. Groups playing at the kettle is a tradition that brings smiles on many faces as people past by and drop donations off for the Army.
Be sure to thank the club in my behalf and I will follow this message with an official letter of thanks to the club.
Many Blessing!
Maj. Phil
