Dear Ryan Painter,

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your incredible effort in running for Mr. Owosso during the Curwood Festival, Inc. to raise money for New Directions Drop-In Center.

Thanks to your efforts, we will be able to provide healthier lunch options, more community outings, center improvements, and be able to help those in need with better resources. Your fundraising endeavor will help make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.

Thank you once again for your remarkable commitment to New Directions Drop-In Center. Your support is truly inspiring, and we are so grateful for your passion. Our members enjoyed the fun and festivities and are looking forward to the future. We invite you to stay connected with our work by joining us for future New Directions events.

With heartfelt thanks,
Deborah Howell
