Richard Klose Memorial Donations - Albany Head Start Program

[*NikkiBell*]

I just wanted to say that even the smallest donation will help these children. $5 goes a long way in Head Start.

I'm sending a check out today.
Thanks to all who helped get this organized.

Kevin- I feel so privileged to be able to help an organization that was so dear to your family. Head Start has been an important part of many kids' lives for over 40 years now.

This is great. I'm going to donate as soon as I get home from work. Thanks so much for organizing this.

I'm so glad you did this, Nikki.

I did the Memory Walk for Alzheimer's research to honor my own father, and these things do mean a LOT to those who wish to honor their loved ones. I'm going to do the walk again this fall, and probably every year they wish to have it.

My check is in the mail....

I think this thread deserves to be a "STICKY" - how about re-wording the title

"Richard Klose Memorial donations"

My Mom was the Executive Director of the agency that funded the Head Start program in Albany County for many, many years..

One of the Head Start schools in Abany is named the Ann Klose First School.

This made my Dad very proud.

He would be thrilled to think that he was helping in some way.

Kevin - you must be very proud. What a wonderful organization that I honestly had no idea what they did before now. So many children have benefited from your mother's dedication and I can certainly understand why your dad was so very proud of her. I would be too. I only wish there was more we could do for you. Please know there are many people praying and thinking of you and your family every day. We love you. And please tell your mom we are proud of her too - she is an angel helping so many children.
