Heroville January Edition
January 2022
This isn't goodbye. It's just different.
Hello St. Mark Families & Friends,
I want to thank you for all the hugs, all the stories, and all the joy we've shared over the past few years. And while the stories and joy will continue, this will be my last Heroville Newsletter as I have accepted a new position outside of St. Mark. My plan is to continue to love and support this amazing organization and YOU--our kids, families, and friends--just in a different way.
I am extremely grateful for all that I have learned these past few years, and I have LOVED working with you and these kids! I will miss you all more than you know!
But don't worry, my friend and tag team, Ron Paar, and other members of our team will be stepping in to help--and any programs-related communications will still be able to go through him at rpaar@stmarkyouthenrichment.org or 563-543-5216.
St. Mark will always have a special place in my heart because of each and every one of you.❤
With Gratitude,
Taylor

Sponsor Angels: Thank You!
Here's a snapshot of what gifts for countless kids looks like. Here's a look of what that meant for one of our dad's who was so moved to tears during his drive by pick up.
"Thank you Jesus, this is going to help so much. I was laid off during the strike and this is going to be so helpful."
If you helped with this project in any way, thank you!
AND in case you missed this letter in our last newsletter, this is sweet letter we received from a kid in one of our Sponsor Angels families. I included the letter below. It reads:
Thank you for giving us this stuff.
It's nice for you to give us a better, more fun, Christmas.
Thank you for giving us these warm clothes that will help us with the cold winter.
I [redacted] made you this art to wish you a merry Christmas.
