When I came in to visit Connie yesterday, she was crocheting a scarf and she also quite proudly showed me Friday’s mail for her, a beautiful stack of letters from everywhere, as close as New York City as far as Washington State. Your generosity has brightened her life and the lives of the other residents at the Mansion Assisted Care Facility. I have never seen Connie smile so much and tell me so much. Maria came with me and Red Sunday and she and Connie hit it off, talking about knitting, weaving and crocheting.

I am  honored to be a part of this Army of Good, compassion and empathy live and thrive, people are so good given the chance. If you wish to write to Connie or any of the 40 residents of the Mansion, you can write to The Mansion, 11 S.Union Street, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

You are, to me, the spirit of Christmas, you don’t just talk the game you live it. Thanks so much.
