Dear Joanie,

I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate your work and the efforts of the Clearwater Community Volunteers over the past few years. There are so many areas of our community that are so much better off because of your efforts.

As a board member of the Boys and Girls Club of the Suncoast, I want to commend you for your ambitious initiative to support the Clearwater Jasmine Courts Boys and Girls Club. The fashion show fundraiser that your group held was nothing less than spectacular. It truly was professional and enjoyable, and I can assure you that the funds raised were very beneficial to the children in our community.

I appreciate all that your group is engaged in, and I assure you that your support has not gone unnoticed.

Sincerely,
James F. Coats, Sheriff (then Chief Deputy)
Pinellas County, Florida
