Dear Joanne,

I really want to thank you for all of the trouble you went to entertaining the entire family
over the past holiday season.

I know that you organized these holiday gatherings because you enjoyed doing it and you
loved to have everyone get together at your place. Nevertheless, I just want to make sure
that you understand how much the rest of us appreciate everything you did to make these
get-togethers happen.

Having helped Susan organize a few much smaller social gatherings over the years I know
how much work is involved. I realize how much planning and preparation you must have
to do each and every year so that the entire extended family and assorted friends and
acquaintances have a happy and fun holiday celebration. It's amazing really, that you are
able to do such a great job, year after year, in parallel with your other duties, both as a
mom and an active volunteer worker!

So Joanne, on behalf of everyone I want to express my sincere thanks to you for all that
you did to assemble and entertain us during the holiday season. You really are the glue
that holds our extended family together!
With love and admiration,
John
