The members of all the fire companies and police stations were most grateful for our expression of appreciation and for the donuts and pretzels we delivered. The certificates and balloons made our efforts a bit more celebratory!

We are encouraged that the organizations indicated that they would post pictures and note our appreciation on their websites and/or on Facebook.  We hope that this continues to build a sense of community for all of us.
