A May Day ‘thank you’ to supporters

Recently my daughter had the wonderful opportunity to be part of the 2008 May Day Festival court.  

Running for the court involved raising money for the Ossoli Club. From the May Day Festival proceeds, the Ossoli Club will place the proceeds right back into the community through special projects and donations to the participating schools.  

To raise money, my daughter and I made multiple jars to place around town to collect donations. With the money collected from the generosity of the community, she placed 4th runner-up in the Tiny May Day Queen Court.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the following businesses for their kindness and for supporting the Ossoli Club (thereby supporting the community), by allowing us and many others to place collection jars in their place of business.

The local places of business include: Ambience Gifts, B & H Shoes, Bags & Shoes, Betty’s Florist, Blockbuster Video, Brenda’s Treasures, Brentwood Pharmacy, Corbin Flower Shop, Curves, David’s Steakhouse, Dinner’s Made Simple, Dixie Cafe, Eve’s Hair Magic, Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant, Gover’s Floral Co., Little Caesar’s Pizza, Lowe’s Sporting Goods, Memory Mountain, Mi Casa Restaurant, Mr. Gatti’s Pizza, O’Mally’s, Pizza & Co., Salon 23, Sav-Rite Pharmacy, Shoney’s, Spoone’s, Snappy Tomato Pizza, Taco Tico and Tri-County Cineplex.

Special thanks also to my daughter’s main business sponsor Gibson’s Music.
