Barry Levine, LCI Paper's Vice President of Sales & Marketing, was pleased to receive a letter written by Shelbe, a fourth grader at St. Charles Elementary School in St. Charles, Michigan. She wrote that the class was planning to visit the elderly residents at a local assisted living facility. The students came up with the idea of making cards and stationery with the seniors so that they could write to their friends and family. Shelbe asked LCI Paper for a donation.
Barry, along with Larry Chase, LCI's President, assembled and sent a selection of products for the fourth graders. Barry wrote back to Shelbe, commending her on her beautiful letter. He wrote, "The tradition of giving should always be an ongoing practice. I am of the Jewish faith, and those of us who practice this tradition refer to it as a Mitzvah. It has also come to express any act of human kindness. Working with the elderly would certainly fall into that category."
Earlier this year, we received a wonderful letter from Mrs. Shultz and Shelbe who included thank you notes and photos of the kids unboxing LCI's donation, along with photos of the kids interacting with the seniors at the Union Court Assisted Living Facility in St. Charles, MI.
Everyone at LCI appreciated seeing the photos and hearing from both Shelbe and Shelbe's teacher, Mrs. Shultz. We are thankful for the opportunity to help the St. Charles Elementary School fourth graders bring cheer to their local seniors.
