A big thank you

Anonymous Mineral Wells Index The Mineral Wells Index Thu Feb 16, 2012, 08:45 AM CST

By Vivian Conrad | Senior Center Director

Gracias.  Merci.  Gratias vobis ago. Kamsa-hamnida. Sheh Sheh. Danke. Arigato. Spasiba.

There are many ways to say thank you. But at this moment I can’t find a word big enough to express the depth of gratitude I’m feeling.  

Outside our center’s back door sits a brand new storage shed, paid for by the people of this community. From the ladies who dug into their purses for handfuls of change to the business owners who wrote hefty checks, residents of our town rallied to help meet the Senior Center’s need. Then Dave Snell of Allstate Plywood and Lumber contributed a generous discount on the price and installation of the building. We are extremely grateful to everyone who made this project possible.
