Ms. Martine Barrat

Dear Martine,

It gives me great pleasure to be writing to you on behalf of our young people and our staff. The type of compassion and generosity that you so consistently display towards the children in our community, is rare in a society that has become so engrossed in self-gratification. There is no doubt in my mind that you have been a positive role model for some time now, and we are definitely pleased that you are an integral part of the Hansborough family. We would like to thank you for all that you do especially for your assistance in helping to establish our Reading Club.

We wish you well always and would be sincerely pleased if you and your guest would attend our annual Christmas Dinner on Saturday,

December 23, 2000, beginning at 1:00pm. Until then take care and have a

Jazzy Day.
