Dear Commander Lipschitz,
 
Putnam Community Action Program extends a sincere thank you to you and all the members of Post 71 for hosting the Memorial Day Weekend Food Drive at Kobecker's Market in Brewster. Through your planning, hard work and dedication over 30 boxes of food were collected, along with cash donations totaling $565.61. All proceeds will directly benefit the programs that Putnam CAP provides to the local community.
 
You did an astounding job at organizing and getting  the support of many different businesses, to help achieve your goal. Considering the size of the market, and the length of time that was spent collecting the food, your results were astounding! We only wish that all our food drives could be so successful as this one!
 
Seeing veterans continuing to give to the community was a wounderful sight! Memorial Day is of special significance to you as veterans, and we cannot thank you enough for giving of yourselfs once again, to support the local residents of your country. You are all great role models, particulary for the youth who assisted you in this endeavor and I'm sure that you have made a lasting impression on them.
 
We look forward to working with you in the future, as together we strive to assist our neighbors in need.
 
signed
