“Amore” e “Passione”
We are coming to the most important time of the year for Caritas. By this time next week, our Gala will be part of our history and we will be embarking on our month long telethon. These two events account for the bulking of funds we need to operate our programs.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those that have worked so diligently over the last year to ensure the success of our events. It is at a time like this that one must reflect back and say that if it wasn’t for the hard work of the volunteers, we would have no events and if we had no events, we would have no funds to operate the community program and bring to light the problems associated with substance abuse.
Our Gala will be the biggest we have ever had and we owe a debt of gratitude to the organizing committee for their relentless efforts to make this a success. Our staff, this year, despite adversity has demonstrated that their jobs are more than just work but in fact a vocation to help those less fortunate. Their dedication has been inspirational to the community we serve.
The Boards have also rallied behind the organization through dedication and perseverance, believing as I do that our reward is in knowing that we have helped an individual….a family….a friend….the community.
It is important that over this next month, we tell everyone who we are and what we do. Through our “amore”, “love” and “passion”,” passion” in what we believe, we will bring success to Caritas and save lives.
