Nick Pizzola

Vice President

Temple Area Property Association

Mr. Pizzola,

The 32nd ward offers its appreciation for your generous contribution of $500. With your contribution, our organization was able to provide a trip for 176 seniors and children. This year, the trip was to Splashzone water park and Wildwood, New Jersey. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The trip this year, like the past years, would not have been a success without your contribution. TAPA has been a consistent sponsor for the past few years, and we hope that we can continue to have your support in the future.

Thank you once again for your support in making this trip a success.

Regards,

Gary Williams (ward leader)
