Just wanted to take a moment (before my phone line goes down AGAIN) to thank all of those who so kindly helped out with the Springfield, IL disaster recovery. Although cleanup and rebuilding will continue for months to come, your contributions of items and funds were greatly appreciated and helped to make a huge difference in the recovery efforts!!

Please let us not forget our neighbors in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana,Kentucky, Tennessee and those still fighting the losses of hurricane Katrina ...even small gestures make large contributions and can change a persons day and life for the better.

Most importantly, we can not forget our men and women in the armed forces, they make the biggest sacrifices and give more of themselves than all of the rest of us put together. Anything we can do to help make their tour(s) of duty better, and anyway we can say thank you, we should be sure to do.

Once again, my heartfelt thanks to the SYC and all of those who helped. You guys are the best!
