March 2020 Friendly Service Report
Annual reports: This is the second year in which our annual reports are due for the calendar year for this past year’s activities. Paperwork was sent in November and reports were received by me and the CWZ report mailed to Judith Corigliano, State VP for Friendly Service. Activity seems to be lighter as it gets harder to get people to volunteer. Many thanks to all the Friendly Service workers who work tirelessly to brighten the lives of our retirees.
Special thanks to ever vigilant Betty Pilato who received a check for FS, but she and I knew it wasn’t ours. Too early for state check! Several were contacted and finally it was Debbie Barnes who put the pieces together of this puzzle. It was intended for CW, but mistakenly sent to CWZ. Thanks, Debbie, too.
Deaths and cards: Eunice Barnes died Jan. 9. A sympathy card was sent to Gail Sherman in Brian’s sudden death in Jan.He worked tirelessly for York State. A sympathy card was sent to Judith Corigliano in the unexpected death of her brother on Jan. 27, 2020. Get well cards were sent to Jane Crosby, and Chuck Peszynski. If you sent notice of earlier deaths, I sent them along to NYSRTA in case it didn’t reach them earlier.
Checkbook balance: $399.03.
May the rest of the winter be happy and healthy for you wherever you may be spending it.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Rosecrans, Friendly Service, CWZ
