MEREDITH — Executive Director Cheryl Gonzalo of the Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor (VNMCH) announced a big "Thank You" today as the results for the 2012 Annual Appeal were released.
As of January 15 the total donations from all sources (personal and corporate) to the Annual Appeal

Ms. Gonzalo added, "We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the community in these difficult economic times."
According to Linda Lee, Chairwoman of the Fund Raising Committee, "There were almost 200 responses to the Annual Appeal. The money so generously contributed will allow us to continue to provide vital at home care services to anyone who needs our help."
