Love Stouffville Comments:

· “All the crows in town have been blessed and blessed again.  What a great job your people did today. You have no idea how many man hours you have saved us. (Strawberry Festival Committee Chair)

· “I’m hearing raves this morning for the volunteers who came to Parkview Home on Tuesday morning.  They did a good job and got a lot done.  The flowerbeds look great.  Please convey our gratitude to those who came.”

· “It’s great to see people putting their Christian faith into practice.”

· “You’d think in a town of so many churches that you wouldn’t have to do things like this (car wash) to have an impact on the community, but sadly you do. Thank you for doing this.”

· “I would just like to say THANK YOU. I was running late for work this morning and while driving down Main Street, the train barriers came down blocking traffic.  As I was already running late, this was quite annoying.  I was very quickly losing my patience and getting upset when suddenly a young man walked over to my car and offered me a newspaper and a bottle of water. This act of kindness put a smile on my face and made the rest of my drive in to work very pleasant. Thank you again!!”
