To the Editor:

Thank you to all of those who came out to the benefit dance for Manuel "Poochie" Dias, and supported the Dias family at this time of need.

I want to give a special thanks to Deneen Rose, Mikelyn Roderick, Buddy Monteiro, Lady K, Paul Rose and the Onset VFW, Dougie Santos, and Cheri Gomes for their donations.

Thank you again for all your support.

Joannie Dias and family
