A Year in Review Dear Friends of Alegría, It has been a while since we last touched base, but this does not mean that we have not been working on our mission to deliver Alegría where we can reach. It has been a very busy year and for that we have to thank our volunteers, sponsors, and collaborating organizations. We are humbled by what you allow us to do with your volunteered time, donations, and trust. We would not be able to do it without you! Given the many choices out there in social media, the little time we allow in our lives to notice how much we can do with so little, and given everyone’s financial responsibilities and impossibilities, we are honored that you choose us as one of your liked pages and follow our activities. For that, we thank you. May the good energy in the universe charge your spirit and may your home and yours be blessed with whichever is your guiding faith. Blessings and Joy, Alegría Below is a summary of our activities during 2014. Items marked with a * indicate we received funding from donors; otherwise, funds were covered by Alegría Gri Grí.
