Second annual Swim for Haiti a success

Nov. 15 — To the Editor:
The second annual Swim for Haiti was a huge success at the Portsmouth Indoor Pool on Sunday, Nov. 8. Contributions came for the Seacoast area business people, LAPSS clients, family and friends. This year we raised $4500, which was donated to Partners in Development to assist building homes in Haiti.
Donations are still coming in and we hope to make it to $5000! Judy Spiller and I will return to Haiti on Nov. 30 to build again and to help in annual holiday party for 550 children sponsored in the PID program.
I want to thank once again the Kittery Trading Post for its continued support with another generous donation. The raffle item, a $500 gift certificate donated by KTP, was won by an employee at Esse Studio in York.
Another thank you goes to Bob’s Clam Hut and its patrons. They donated over $800 to Partners in Development this year.
I ask all of you not to forget the Haitians. They are wonderful people doing the best they can to survive and raise their children. I am proud of all on the Seacoast for the continued support.
Truly,
Ann H. Grinnell,
Kittery, Maine
