The Vestry would like to thank everyone who donated to Father Perkins travel expenses as he flew back and forth from Valdosta to Philadelphia for his treatments. As these donations were made under the heading of anonymous, thank you notes will not be sent to individual donors. We did not want it to go by without thanking those who have contributed. Amy will be making a notation of the donations that will be included on the donors giving statement. Once again we thank you for your generosity in helping Father Perkins offset his travel expenses.
