Letter to the Editor - Astle Foundation
The following is a recent letter to the editor highlighting our board member Dave Olekna's generous gift as a Trustee of the Edward Thatcher Astle Memorial Foundation.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Volunteer Guardianship One-on-One, Inc, I wish to thank the Edward Thatcher Astle Memorial Foundation. The trustees of the Foundation, Joanne Harris and David Olekna, have generously awarded Volunteer Guardianship One-on-One, Inc. with a grant in the amount of $2000.00. The Edward Thatcher Astle Memorial Foundation seeks to improve our community through financial support for scholarships and charities like Volunteer Guardianship One-on-One, Inc.
Volunteer Guardianship One-on-One, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides court-appointed guardians to those no longer able to care for themselves, and who have no family or other interested persons to assume this important role. Volunteer Guardianship One-0nOne, Inc. recruits, trains, monitors and supports the volunteers.
It is with much gratitude that Volunteer Guardianship One-on-One, Inc. accepts the Edward Thatcher Astle Memorial Foundation’s grant and assures the Trustees that the money will be put to good use serving very vulnerable citizens in our community.
Sincerely,
CHRISTINE N. LITTLE
Executive Director
