Thank You From ECS for the Alhambra Event
Just wanted to share this with you from one of our staff who won the "raffle"
for donated tickets for her and her husband. We raffled off all "donated"
tickets by Rotary members and our board members to staff. We had a couple of
teachers and other staff from Middleburg and Green Cove win the tickets. They
all have thanked us profusely and had a wonderful evening! Thanks again for
honoring ECS at the event!

Good Morning Connie,
It was a pleasure to meet you & your husband last night at the Alhambra, even
though we only sat together for a short time. My husband and I had such an
enjoyable evening at the Alhambra.
I just wanted you to know how appreciative I am, as an ESC employee, to have the
Rotary Club of South Jacksonville sponsor the event last night to benefit ECS. I
was unaware of how service oriented the Rotary Club is and last night opened my
eyes to what they do to help their community.
Could you please convey my thanks to the Rotary Club of South Jacksonville for
not only holding the benefit for ECS but also for providing the opportunity for
some of the ECS employee’s to enjoy the event. It was very kind of them and I
just wanted to make sure they know that their kindness was appreciated.
Have a great day ☺
