LETTER TO THE EDITOR

THANK YOU TO THE GLEN COVE TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION

Received on February 11, 2015

Dear Editor:

Each year, the Glen Cove Youth Bureau sponsors Milk and Cookies with Santa, an enormous undertaking that brings Santa, gifts, refreshments and entertainment to approximately 200 boys and girls.  This annual holiday treat would not be possible without the assistance of many elves in the community.  One of the Youth Bureau’s strongest and most enduring partners in this endeavor is the Glen Cove Teacher’s Association.  For many years, the Association has collected toys and donations from its members and delivered them to the Youth Bureau for distribution at Milk and Cookies with Santa.  The evening is always filled with many special memories, but one of the most delightful is seeing the joy and anticipation on the faces of the young audience.  I would like to extend a special thank you to the Glen Cove Teacher’s Association for their generous donations through the years.  Not only do they exhibit care and thoughtfulness to the children in their classrooms, but also go out of the way to bring joy to young children throughout the City of Glen Cove.

Sincerely,
Arlene O’Dell
Executive Director
Glen Cove Youth Bureau
