Youth Ministry at St. Richard Church 3841 Dickey Road Gibsonia, PA 15044 February 10, 2009 To Whom It May Concern, Saint Richard Church Youth Ministry will be making its annual Appalachian Experience mission trip this June. Although the students do fundraise, much of our budget is dependent on local community support for this endeavor. The support given is used to buy the building materials as well as tools needed for the work to be accomplished on this trip. As an example, in years past we have assisted families recovering from flood damage and economic hardship. Students worked to replace insulation, siding, and a septic tank, all of which were ruined by flood wash. Your contribution would help to buy necessary materials for a situation such as this. We are once again, faithfully asking that you support our local youth by this show of generosity. Please make all checks payable to Saint Richard Youth Group. If you have any questions regarding our upcoming mission trip, feel free to contact us at 724-444-1971 ext.128. We thank you in advance for your support. Sincerely yours, Holly Joy Penzenstadler Director of Youth Ministry _________________________ Representative Appalachia Project Coordinator
