St. Pat’s successful once again
To the Editor:
St. Pat’s has come and gone. It was once again a
success. This would not have happened if it were not for
all the volunteers.

I have heard people complain about being bored,
so look for a cause that needs support in our area and hop
on board. You will enjoy working with others and feel a
