THANK YOU:

Dear Rotary Friends,

Please accept my deepest gratitude for your concerns and prayers during my recent illness. The heart surgery went well and I am progressing well in my recovery. The beautiful orchid that I received from you cheered us up so much. Both Bill and I are enjoying looking at it during our meals. Thanks you so much again. Hope to see all of you soon.

With deepest regards,

NELLIE LECHMAN
