Editor, Gazette-Journal:

As the year draws to a close, one of the many things our community can be thankful for is the 25th anniversary of Kelsick Specialty Market and the wonderful generosity of Beth Haskell in celebrating it with her “Kick-Back” program of featuring various charities each month and then making a donation to each of the charities at the end of that month.

The causes Kelsick supported during the year were: Botetourt School, Gloucester-Mathews Care Clinic, Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society, Laurel Shelter, Samaritan Group, VersAbility/Puller Center, and the Haskell Fund of the Gloucester Library Endowment Funds of the Gloucester Community Foundation. The Haskell Fund was established in memory of Monty Haskell.

Thank you to Beth and the whole Haskell family for creating your wonderful store which is a mainstay of Main Street and which we could not live without!
