On a more personal level, over the years I have become acquainted with your work through my sister-in-law, Pat, one of your faithful members, and who, I noted did not get a medal for perfect attendance, from time to time has enlisted the support of my wife and daughter to assist in some of your volunteer activities.
Their experiences have sensitised them to the needs of those less fortunate and created a sense of satisfaction that their efforts were contributing to help others whose circumstances may have prevented them from independently fulfilling their basic needs. Whether the specifics that give rise to these conditions are known or unknown, I am sure that similar feelings enrich your members on an on-going basis.
