March 20, 2008 - As our postal worker can tell you, big mailings are a way of life at CAF. Newsletters, Gala invitations, patient education information, fund raising appeals, Board memos – it seems there’s never a period when we’re not in some phase of a mailing to 10 or 100 or 1,000 people.
It’s a lot of work – and that’s why we were so thrilled when a students from Beach Channel High School (PS 233) in Rockaway, NY volunteered to help us with a 7,000-piece mailing recently.
Teachers Donna Beggi and Jeannine Betschart contacted Eileen Scott, CAF Program Coordinator, and told her that their students in classes L04, V51, V52, V53 and Y02 would like to help in some way. When Eileen mentioned the mailings, they said that they could provide the manpower we needed.
CAF sincerely thanks Ms. Beggi, Ms. Betschart and their students for helping out in this way. The more hands we have to assist with projects like these, the more we’re able to accomplish and the better we’re able to help those with thalassemia.
