JPS P.I.E. Store Drive Success
Please accept this note as my deepest thanks for your recent donations to the JPS P.I.E. Store School Supply Drive. Generous gifts from members like you provide the financial and moral support needed to continue our community outreach efforts as an Association.

It is our hope that we will make a great difference in the lives of many "homeless" children in need this school term. Thank you again for your compassionate support. I hope that you will continue to support all of CMR's community outreach initiatives in the future.
