In Appreciation

HATS OFF!! to the team that went immediately to work following the recent severe wind storm.  

Lazette Selan and Bob Serdinak delivered the supplies for Mark Cole to patch the roof.

Mort Schaffer, Marc Nusholtz, and Mark Cole sawed the huge branches and cleared them.

Iris Fuchs and Laura and Bob Long and family helped clear the storm's debris from our property.

During the recent blackout Estelle Greenburg visited a number of people to ensure their safety, including me.  She took me to the only open restaurant so that I could have a cooked meal instead of raw PB&J again.  She offered to have me sleep at her house when she was the first to get power.  Thank you, Estelle!  -- Niesie Shulkin
