Sister City
Greetings To
Waveland, Mississippi
October 2005-Page One
Each person we encountered in Waveland asked us to please tell our folks at
home in Perryton how much your generosity was appreciated. Citizens of
Perryton can be very proud of our efforts to aid our new friends in
Waveland. The items we took were needed by their community, and they
were carefully sorted and delivered to the appropriate places in Waveland.
Thanks to all of the people who donated money, food, personal items, school
supplies, household items and tools. Thanks also to all of the local
businesses who helped in this effort by setting up places to donate,
delivering items and giving generous discounts that helped the money reach
even farther. Thanks to the numerous volunteers that helped throughout
the process and to Hi Plains Hull for their donation of the truck, trailer,
driver and fuel. Way To Go Perryton!!!! You did a great job!!!
