   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                                                                                                                                                                            

   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

Happy 41st  to you, Hue and Linda.

True?     Inner Peace:

 If you can start the day without caffeine,

 If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

 If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

 If you can eat plain food every day and be grateful for it,

 If you can understand when you’re loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

 If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

 If you can conquer tension without medical help,

 If you can relax without liquor,

 If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

 See you, May 15,  2011

Hey, All You Kids Waiting for Santa: serious rumor has it that Santa has scheduled us again this Christmas Eve, 4:00 P.M. Mass.  Better be nice to an old geezer.  Any other of you kids want to be a shepherd or angel in the Nativity Drama Christmas Eve?  Just show up in costume.

   
 True?

Every now and then go away and have a little relaxation.  To remain constantly at work will diminish your judgment.

Of course there's a lot of knowledge in  universities. The freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don't take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.
