Dear FIELD(contact person),
My name is Joe Cooper. Last year I was so proud to be named student of
the year that I thought my chest was going to burst when I was on stage.
I learned first hand what GILL is all about, giving to others
unselfishly. This year at the GILL Recognition Party on April 18, 1998
there was a silent auction sponsored by the students. We as students
thank you for donating FIELD (we got 98) for the auction.
I truly believe God had a purpose for me when I walked into the Marion
County Library and asked the librarian if she could teach me to read. It
was like a guardian angel had come down to guide my feet into that door
when she directed me to GILL. I can not begin to tell you how GILL has
changed my life. All of the staff and my tutor have been so friendly and
helpful they made me realize that I am a worthwhile human being. I don't
know why God chose me. I just know he did and I plan to make something of
my life with GILL’s help. I volunteer for student meetings,
Leadership Council and speaking engagements.
Your gift is appreciated by each and every student who will benefit
from your generosity. GILL truly does make a difference in lives.
Again, I thank you.
Joe Cooper President Student Leadership Council
P.S. It took me 1 and 1/2 hours to type this on the computer because
my writing skills need a lot of practice yet, but my tutor helped me with
only a few words. She is a drill sergeant making me do all the work!
