Grand Rapids, MI

Dear Mrs. Hoorn,
Too often in the mad rush of everyday activities we fail to express our gratitude to those people who so richly deserve it. We tend to take these people for granted with this attitude, “call on Mrs Smith, she never lets us down”. How true this statement is. Down through the years you have been called on by a Parent Teacher Organization to serve in one capacity or another. Mrs. Hoorn you have never let us down. Your willingness, cooperation, and devotion to this organization has benefited the whole community.

We the members of the Kentwood Parents Teachers Executive Council are very proud of your many years of devoted work. Certainly without people like you our organization would fail. Therefore, we wish to express our thanks to you for a job well done.

Sincerely Yours, Thomas F. Holtz, Chairman
