July 3, 2001<br />
The tireless efforts and valuable resources your organization contributed to our<br />
community after the recent flood were remarkable. The speed with which you fed and provided<br />
shelter for the 75 people left homeless demonstrated the experience and preparation that marks<br />
all Salvation Army operations.<br />
There is no way to thank you enough for your support of Bismarck residents. However, I<br />
hope you will share my gratitude with your staff and volunteers. We appreciate every one of<br />
them.<br />
Again, thank you for your active partnership in Bismarck’s emergency management<br />
efforts.<br />

Sincerely yours,<br />
Mary Siebert<br />
