A note of thanks and appreciation to all the MHR Volunteers and those who contributed their time, great food, sweets and money to help make the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday receptions nice for

are our community efforts and I personally thank you all. Most affectionately, Gloria Swanson Stansbury.
