To the editor:

I am writing to personally thank the generous people of Saranac Lake who gave to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund of the Salvation Army. Thanks to your generosity we raised over $2,000 on Friday afternoon.

I also want to thank the organizations who gave us space and helped us to “ring the bell”: Saranac Lake Post Office, Kinney Drugs, Adirondack Daily Enterprise and Coakley High Peaks Ace Hardware.

Additionally, I can’t forget to give my personal thanks to those hands-on volunteers who supported our efforts to get the bells ringing: Cathy, Shirley, Chuck, Faith, Susan, Jacci, Jim, Linda, Rod, Angela Elizabeth, Judy and Maggie. May all the best be with you, Saranac Lake!
