Dear Donna,
Just a little note with a large heart-felt thank you for coordinating the Roots & Wings Annual Wine Cruise.I know that you put much thought, time, expertise and prayer into this event. So much of your labor was behind the scene. It all seemed to go so beautifully and I am confident that the dollars raised will greatly benefit the PVSD students. You are an "awesome lady" Thanks for everything! Jim
