To the Editor:

We would like to personally extend our grateful appreciation to all those who supported, assisted with, contributed to, facilitated, encouraged, advised, and guided our successful Red Wagon Luncheon & Fashion Show held on Saturday, April 18, at the Italian American Community Center.

“Nothing is ever too much to do for a child” are the words of Mary Virginia Merrick, servant of God and the founder of the National Christ Child Society. Everything we do is to help children, and we thank you for assisting us and lending support of our mission.

Christ Child Society of Albany covers all counties of the Albany Diocese and beyond. We are currently delivering layettes, comfort bags, and books as far north as Warren County and as far south as Columbia County.

There is always so much to do, so many requests for help, and we are expanding services as much as possible to better serve children. We welcome new members always.

If someone you are acquainted with would like to have the shared experience of giving back to their community by volunteering, needs a new passion, is open to new relationships and would like to learn more about our Albany Chapter, please have them contact Annette Guido, membership chairwoman, at .
