Thank you!

In September, 2011 the town of Owego, NY, where our nephews, sister & brother-in-law live, was devasted by flooding in the wake of Hurricane Lee. The elementary school was severely flooded just as the school year was commencing. In an effort to help, we started a drive to collect school supplies and books.

The response was overwhelming - we collected two truckloads of supplies, books, backpacks and other materials, as well as over $700 for gift cards to be used by families in Owego to purchase supplies.

Owego Elementary restarted classes in a borrowed building in a neighboring town on September 19th. We are glad to have been able to help in some small way, and are very grateful for all those who donated material, funds or their time to help out with this drive. The townspeople of Owego and the school families have expressed their thanks and gratitude for the outpouring of support from our community.

We have ended our collection drive, but there are still ways that you can help Owego rebuild and restore.

Sincerely,
Chris & Wendy Barnabo
