We received a very nice thank you card in the mail from Mr. Stan Kuchar for FirstLight’s donations of winter clothes to the area schools from funds obtained from the coin drive we sponsored last month.

Stan is a local, retired resident who spends most of his time recognizing others in the community for making a difference. His cards are handmade, using photos that he has taken himself.

Thanks Stan for making our day!
