Dear Member,
I can not believe that another year is coming to an end. I was able to see all the raffle tickets that came in for the quilt. I recognized so many names of seniors that I have not seen in a long time. Even though some of you can no longer come in or participate in our programs, I really appreciate your continuous support. Looking at your names, brought back so many good memories. As of this typing, we are preparing for our 37th Annual Bazaar. I want to Thank everyone who purchased a quilt ticket, donated jewelry, sent in cookies, craft and gift items etc. Also, Thank you to our loyal Volunteers who always help make this event a success and to our shoppers. On behalf of the Staff and Board of Directors of the Moreau Community Center, I want to wish you all Happy Holidays. See you next year.
Jeanne Gutheil

IN MEMORY OF THEODORE T. KUSNIERZ
The Center sends their deepest sympathy to the family of Theodore “Ted” Kusnierz. Among his
many accomplishments, he planned, organized and implemented the first State Probation Department in
Fulton, Montgomery and Warren Counties. Throughout his career, he served on many select committees
in the field of corrections . He will be missed by his wife Anne, Children, Grandchildren and all who had
the pleasure to know him.
We would like to THANK all who have made memorial contributions to the Moreau Community Center on be-
half of their loved ones.
Your “Gift” is very much appreciated and will be used to support the mission of the Center..
