Letter To The Editor: Thank You, Darien Sports Shop

The following is an open thank you letter from Ali Ramsteck, LCSW, Director of the Darien Department of Human Services to Gina Zangrillo, President of the Darien Sport Shop:

Dear Gina:
On behalf of the Darien Department of Human Services, I would like to thank you for your donation of
new clothing, shoes, and accessories for our annual Back-to-School Program. We were overwhelmed
with your generosity! Back-to-School shopping can be a financial burden for many Darien families
particularly those with multiple school-aged children. With the school supplies they receive from our
Back-to-School program and your generous donation of clothing, these children will be able to start off
the school year in a positive manner.

We can only do what we do with the support and generosity of individuals and organizations like yours.
Your help make our programs possible! Thanks, again, for supporting our programs and, more
importantly, touching the lives of our neighbors. Your outreach means so much to us and more,
importantly, to the clients we serve. I look forward to continuing this meaningful relationship.

Sincerely,
Ali Ramsteck, LCSW, Director
Darien Department of Human Services
