To the Editor:

I would like to thank everyone for all the valuable assistance from the many good folks who volunteered and/or donated to and supported the Christmas Dinner for the Homeless that was held at the Onset VFW on December 24.

I am indeed grateful to you all for your enthusiastic support, which helps us assist those in our community. You made a difference not only in one person's life but in many. And that is what the holidays are all about -- "GIVING." The support from the community was overwhelming and I thank you all!

A special thanks goes to: Bridgewater State University, Dunkin Donuts, Wareham Florist, Always in Bloom, Eden's Florist, Irene's Florist, Dr. Foote, Interstate Batteries, Gateway Tavern, Chef Michael Schlow, Stop and Shop, Shaw's, Onset Cape Verdean Festival Assoc., DJ Lady K, Bouyea' Fassetts Bakery outlet, Dudley L. Brown VFW Post #2846, Arthur "Pooch" and Guini Tavares, the Sylvester Family, Deneen, Lynn and Kevin, The Boys and Girls Club, Santa Claus (Selectman Patrick Tropeano) and my committee who helped make this happen.

Thank you,

Deneen Rose
