THANK YOU Many many thanks to all the donors and buyers who made the Station Book Sale a success once again. Thank you to Troy from Creemore Foodland for the book bags. And very special thanks to the volunteers who sorted, set up, took down, and in between worked shifts on the day of the sale. Without your efforts, it wouldn’t be possible. As a result we will turn over $6,000 to the Board of the Station on the Green for the maintenance and upkeep of the building and grounds. I would like to send an outstanding 2,400 thank you’s to family, friends and most importantly, "the community with a big heart". I was the leading fundraiser at $2,400 and you helped raise a whopping $32,000 for an important cause. I could not have achieved this without all your support and I thank each of you on behalf of My Friend's House. The walk was great fun with over 100 men wearing shiny, red high heels. I went an extra step higher and wore a stylish pair of 5 inch stilettos! Thank you EVERYONE! Fred Mills
