Thanks to Fred Meyer staff for school donation

On behalf of the recipient students at my two schools, I would like to express appreciation to Fred Meyer staff, especially the ladies in Apparel, for their generous donation of gloves. This gift is guaranteed to fill a daily winter need.

Thank you, again, for “paying it forward.”
