Editor, Gazette-Journal:

On behalf of Emma Saunders, Mckinley Wiatt, Layla and Hannah McBurney, we would like to thank all who took part in making our girls’ lemonade stand during Mathews Market Days a success. With the donations collected, the girls raised over $1,000 to be used for the snack pack program at Lee-Jackson Elementary School.

Your thoughtfulness and generosity will help provide food each weekend for students in need. We appreciate your support and are grateful for the lesson of giving it has taught our children.
