Dear Mr McFadden,

On behalf of the Como Conference of St Vincent de Paul I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to you and to everyone in your school community for your very kind donations of food items for our annual Christmas hamper appeal. With these donations and others we have received from St Columba's Catholic School in South Perth, St Pius X Catholic School in Manning and from the Holy Family Church in Como, we hope to be able to distribute up to 90 food hampers to needy families in our area. This area covers South Perth, Como, Manning, Kensington and Karawara. We will be delivering these hampers on Saturday December 19th.

Could you please pass on our sincere thanks to John Richards, Director of Christian Learning, for his role in coordinating the donations of food items from your school community.

We look forward to an ongoing partnership with your school and thanks again for supporting our Christmas hamper appeal in such a generous way.

I wish you and all the staff at Aquinas, the school children and their parents, a very happy and holy Christmas and joyful New Year.

Best wishes

Mike Cosson

President, Como Conference
