SPECIAL AIM COLLECTION TODAY The Community Advocacy Committee has asked that the AIM collection on April 7 �� be designated in honor of Dana Robertson's retirement. Dana has selected People's Settlement to receive the funds because his great, great aunt, Sarah Pyle, helped found the People's Settlement Association.

Dear SsAM family… Thank you all so much for the wonderful sendoff you gave me on Sunday evening at my retirement party. The auditorium was beautifully decorated and the food was delicious. It was the perfect combination of food, friends and fellowship. My family enjoyed themselves very much. Many thanks to Vestry and all who prepared the decorations and tables. The purse was quite a surprise and I am overwhelmed by your generosity. Thank you. I will certainly have to think of something special and meaningful to do with it. You have been so kind with your cards and well wishes. And you have now met my father, who at 90, is still going strong. I hope to spend more time with him now that I am retired. Blessings to you all. I will see you at various events I am sure. Most sincerely, Dana Robertson
