Birgit Wartenberg would like to thank everyone on the IPPC cluster team for your tremendous work, effort and dedication to make the baseball equipment project such a huge success. We shipped baseball equipment for approx. 35 kids and 5 adults !!!
It takes a "village" to pull this off. Here is the list of our "village" friends and a big thank you to everyone who was involved in this project. My apology if I missed someone.
- Colleen Gray, Art For Aid, she and her volunteers packed 13 boxes of art supplies
- Robert, who drove 2.5 hrs (one way) to pick up the boxes from Art For Aid and deliver to Belleville
- Jennifer, for designing the poster
- Nadine, Chris, Jennifer, Michael, Margaret, Lisa, Jo-Anne, Jason & Canadian Tire Belleville, Bruce & Mackay Insurance for their private donations of gentle used & new equipment
- Rotary Club of Belleville, Rotary Club of Trenton, Rotary Club of Palgrave, Rotary Club of Cataraqui - Kingston, Rotary Club of Stirling for their financial support to purchase baseball equipment
- True North Aid, who offered to pay for the shipping costs and donated 5 boxes of school supplies
- Jamie, for offering his garage (again) to store and pack all the equipment & moving the boxes to the warehouse in Trenton
- Larry from Rebound, where we purchased the equipment, for donating a huge box of hockey skates on top of the baseball donations
It shows once again that we are stronger if we work together. I am very proud to know all these people and how this turned out after a lot of ups and downs. 😉
