Words Of Thanks From Recipients


Seamen’s Society for Children and Families

Dear Mr.  & Mrs. Richard Nicotra,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Seamen’s Society for Children and Families we want to express our sincere thanks for your efforts in helping us meet the Challenge Grant that President Clinton issued at the Black and White Gala on October 27th, 2011.

Your gift of $1,000 will help us achieve our goal of $50,000 that will be matched dollar for dollar by President Clinton.  We appreciate your commitment to the Seamen’s Society and your desire to help us maintain the support that is essential to deliver the programs our kids need and deserve.

Thank you for accepting President Clinton’s challenge and investing in our children.  The children that stood before him at the event prompted him to remind all of us that, “these are all our children, and we have got a big stake in their becoming what God meant them to be, to be able to live their dreams.”  This grant will enable these kids to see their dreams become a reality.

With heartfelt thanks,
Nancy R. Vomero
President/CEO

One last note, Richard---you have it all over Paul Newman!!
