Letters – Parents urge support for Peace Corps project

To the Editor:

We want to thank the Lockhart Post-Register and LPR Staff for the informative article about our daughter, Maggie Anchondo, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Benin, West Africa.

We would like to appeal to the Lockhart community on Maggie’s behalf. The students and teachers desperately need this library for their school. All donations t

o the Peace Corp Partnership Initiative are tax deductible.

Send your donations to: Paul D. Coverdell Peace Corps Headquarters, The Office of Private Sector Initiatives, 1111 20th Street NW, Washington, DC 20526. or online at www.peacecorps.gov/donate. Reference #680-214 or Anchondo.

If you would like to donate locally, a special account has been set up at First Lockhart National Bank in the name of Joan Anchondo. All donations will be sent directly to the Peace Corps for this project. If each person in Lockhart donates $1, Maggie will reach her goal!

If you have any questions, please call 398-3767. We are so grateful for your support.

Joan and Robert Anchondo

Lockhart
