Editor, The Times:
Season’s Greetings.
Summer is a season of course.
The CD “Songs For A Winter’s Night” enjoyed a flurry of sales followed by a spate of abysmal bookkeeping (for which I take full discredit).
After much gnashing of teeth, we have an almost complete tally of the monetary support that the people of Clearwater and other, more distant communities, gave the Clearwater and District Food Bank.
From sales at Blackpool and Little Fort coffeehouses, Dee’s General Store, Pharmasave, Home Hardware, The Blue Loon, Clearwater Infocenter, and with the generous assistance of The Times, we have thus far managed total donations of $2,920. If there’s a small business that should be on the list, please forgive this addled bookkeeper.
We have a few discs left, so to avoid the inevitable rush, tackle one of our members before the next snowstorm and force him or her to sell you the compilation for a mere $20.
Thank you most sincerely,
The Non-Perishable Items
