7 August 26, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: We at Lakota Dialysis-NANT Chapter would like to extend our sincere appreciation for your donations and efforts on our behalf. The local schools also extend their gratitude. I m certain that the school supplies donated will be put to good use this year. Without generous benefactors such as yourselves, some students may have fallen behind or not have had the motivation to succeed, so again, Thank you so very much! Respectfully, Tommy L. Cummings, CCHT-Lakota Dialysis President
