Surf Cities

 

16th Annual English Tea

Special thanks to Kym Sheerman for going above and beyond to ensure that CRC's sell-out event had enough volunteers.  The English Tea event would not have been a success without the extraordinary personal efforts of Kym.  Her sense of community service is an example to all, and something we see time and again from the NCL Surf Cities Chapter.

 

10th Annual Garden Tour and Plant Sale

Special thanks to Julie Walcott, Vicky Jans, and Kathy Siemion for volunteering for the first time as garden docents.  CRC is hoping they agree to come back next year because they were so great!

Thanks very much again for bringing in all that food yesterday--that was indeed a WONDERFUL surprise!  We were talking about it again at CRC this morning--your NCL chapter never ceases to amaze!   I don't know if you noticed, but some of the clients who receive food were intently watching you unload the bags and boxes yesterday.  They hear about the shortages, too, and I got a good share of questions from them about who you were, if the food was for the Client Center, etc.   I actually had one woman come up to me after you left, and she said, "Wow.  They did all this?"  Thought you'd like to know that. 

 

The food shortages create real anxiety among those who come to CRC for help, so I can't tell say THANK YOU enough for your help.  The federal budget delays have literally put a kink in food distributions nationwide, and increasing food costs at the same time have only worsened the situation for food banks and distribution centers like CRC.  Community groups are literally helping to save the day right now.  Please share this thanks with the other members.  We appreciate all that you do, not only for CRC, but for the community in general.

To Our Supporters at National Charity League – Surf Cities Chapter:

I wanted to thank you for a year of critical NCL support of Community Resource Center in 2010. In addition to the routine program support of Social Services (Client Center, Carol’s House, Food Drives, and more), NCL volunteers also helped at every major charity event we organized.

Although CRC functioned without a full-time volunteer coordinator last year, you stepped up and filled in gaps so well that any guests at our events would never have known this.

NCL volunteers were an especially remarkable and critical presence at our events last year. Service at our English Tea, hosting at our Garden Tour, assisting at our Gala, creating a memorable experience for families and children on Santa’s Train, and helping us to serve a stunning 6,400+ individuals in need at Holiday Baskets—NCL volunteers were at our side throughout the year.

 

Thank you for all that you did and continue to do. Thank you for helping CRC to continue providing victims of domestic violence and families in need with safety, stability, and a path to self-sufficiency. Thank you for promoting the value of community service, and for being such a valued partner.

 

Your professionalism, dedication, and passion are an inspiration to our agency, and a great example to others. We hope to have NCL – Surf Cities support again this year—you’re wonderful! Thank you again!

 

Sincerely,
