To the Editor:

Yesterday at Cedar Post Thrift Shop was one more confirmation that Cedar Post is a community effort, not just the volunteers who man the store six days a week. The volunteers who work there are just a small reason why Cedar Post prospers. Without the surrounding communities and their contributions, we would not be able to reach the number of people we do.

Two people, Ed and Augusta Beardsley, came in Friday and asked if they could wash our windows at no charge. They said they live in Newberry in the winter and St. Ignace in the summer. They appreciate what we do and wanted to show their gratitude.

The point of this letter is to reaffirm to those who donate their household treasures, food for our Food Pantry, checks from churches and individuals, school children, Scouts, and postal workers who collect food what an important part they play. They are Cedar Post.

And now we can add people who volunteer to wash our windows. Marjarie Brown Cedarville
