Roy Gomm Elementary School

Jun 7, 2010

Dear Mr. Baldwin,

On behalf of Roy Gomm Elementary School and the Roy Gomm PFA, I would like to thank you and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada for the tremendous support of the 2nd Annual Roy Gomm Family Yard Sale held on May 15, 2010. The event was a terrific success for the children at our school.

Your help with transporting and picking up all of the items was integral to the success of the green event. We at Roy Gomm Elementary School are committed to giving back to the community and your support not only allowed us to accomplish this goal, but to continue to teach our children about recycling and respecting our environment.

Thank you again for helping make our yard sale such a great success. We could not have pulled it off without your support.

Very Sincerely,
Leslie Smith
Roy Gomm PFA

Neighborhood associations, business, clubs, churches, or other organizations can make a BIG difference for children by sponsoring a clothing drive! We provide the Donation Barrels; your employees provide the clothing! Host your Clothing Drive for one or two weeks and tell your employees, members or customers to place their gently used clothing (all sizes, adult and children) in the donation barrel. Our staff will empty the barrel regularly. This is an EASY and rewarding way to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada. Contact us for more info at 826-2122 or 779dc@bbbs.org.
