Dear Father Stack,

Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

I would appreciate it, if you would please post the attached message to your blog.

I really value all of the support from you and the Stack Community.

Thanks, Anthony DeGenova  

Sez Sir Charlie,  "Psst, quiet, want to buy cheap a like new used car?"  Now would you buy a used car from this character?

Dear Stack Ministry,

Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at:

Telephone: 972-495-3639

Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,

Anthony DeGenova
