Though I'm sure Lisa and Deb appreciate you spreading the word about the care package drive going on today and tomorrow credit should be given where is due. The Senior Center isn't collecting the packages Lisa Braccio, Debbie Depp and all the other care package drive volunteers are. They all work incredibly hard and should be recognized for it. Thank you.
