Dear Friends at Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture,

Thank you for your generous donation of $100.00 to The Audrey Miller Poritzky Educational Fund for Children.

Audrey’s career and passion focused on public-school education reform, as well as on providing opportunities for individual students to achieve their scholastic goals. With Audrey’s initial guidance and support, this

Fund was developed to help children realize their academic potentials and pursue their dreams of a higher education. This was how she wanted to be remembered.

You will receive a verification of the foundation’s tax-exempt status once it is confirmed by the IRS - which we anticipate to take 2-3 months. Once the organization is officially designated, we will inform you of the specific plans and funding targets. The Foundation will utilize your gift exclusively for its charitable purposes as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Furthermore, we confirm that you did not receive any benefit or quid pro quo in exchange for your contribution.

Thank you again for your gift to The Audrey Miller Poritzky Educational Fund for Children. Your support will help us to honor Audrey’s memory by making a needed impact on the lives of individual students and on the public education community.

Sincerely yours,

Theresa Sweeney
Secretary/Treasurer

Dear Bernie & Phyl:

Thank you for your support of the 2004 Taunton Catholic Schools Auction and Dinner & Dance. Our goals were to hold a fun event for the Taunton Catholic Schools and to raise funds to benefit the Mission of the four schools. To maintain the quality of education and standards at the school, we depend on a variety of fundraisers and the generosity of people like you.

The event was a tremendous success as we met both goals. Over 600 people enjoyed 5 Y) dinner and dancing at the Auction on June 19th and we raised over $91,000 for the Taunton Catholic Schools! The funds are already being put to good use in each school by purchasing new equipment and improving technology - all in support of the education of our students.

Your Auction Donation was crucial to our success and is appreciated by all at The Taunton Catholic Schools.

So, once again, THANK YOU for your contribution of Bernie & Phyl’s Gift Certificate valued at $50.00.

We hope that you will be able to help us at next year’s event as we build on this year’s success!

Sincerely,

Deborah Smith Chairperson Auction ‘04

Attn: Naomi Shore

The North Bristol Realtor Affiliate Committee and Empowering teens program wishes to thank you for your contribution to our first annual golf tournament. The tournament was a huge success and all who played had a wonderful day. Without donations from your company and others like you we would not have been able to raise money to sponsor programs within the community. Again, please accept our sincere thanks for your donation.

We look forward to next year’s tournament and hope that we can count on your support.

Dear Naomi,

On behalf of the Peabody Chamber of Commerce and its members, I would like to thank you for your donation to the Chamber’s recent Televised Auction and Taste of the Town. This year’s auction was our “best ever” not only in terms of money generated, but in the participation of area and regional businesses, and we were pleased we could help showcase Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture. The feedback we have received from viewers and attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, and that is certainly a reflection on the companies and individuals who were so generous in their donations to support the Chamber and the Peabody Education Council.

As always we would welcome your ideas on how we can make next year an even better venue for you, or if there is any way you feel the Peabody Chamber can better serve you, please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

I thank you for your participation, and look forward to working with you again.

Sincerely,

Dave Hall
Executive Director
