A letter from Down East Hospice Volunteers surrounded by the other notes on our thank you board
 

Dear Mr. Patterson King:

I want to thank you personally for the very generous donation of your time and technical talents in support of our 25th Anniversary 10k/5k benefit race. Your many hours of help with Facebook and Pay Pal and more was invaluable. We are lucky, indeed, to have businesses near and far so willing to help us in this effort. The work you did with our two 'tech experts' helped us find new ways to meet expenses and make this important fundraiser a success. It is especially meaningful because our volunteers don't cover Hancock County, although we come close.

These efforts are especially important to people with terminal illness and their families in rural areas such as Washington County. As you no doubt are aware, there are fewer agencies, nursing homes and other support systems found here than are found in more densely populated areas. Our volunteers are there to provide free supportive services thanks to the generosity of you and Stanley Subaru.

Again, thank you so much for your help.

Sincerely,

Linda L. Gralenski, Volunteer

We really believe in the wonderful communities here in Maine, and we are so happy to be able to support them however we can. Some times it's making a fundraising event more fun with a photo booth, some times it's making sure everyone's hydrated on their hikes and runs, and some times (like this time) it's a little technical support so a great organization can continue to focus on helping people.
