Dear Ms. Coppola: We needed someone very special to hold it all together; to act as mistress of ceremonies; to hold the attention of a large audience composed infants, senior citizens. and every possible age group in between. We needed someone with exceptional wit, intelligence and personality. Someone who could project the joy appropriate to the great community collaboration that was Teaneck's third annual "Young People's Concert." Fortunately ... very fortunately for us ... we found someone with an abundance of these qualities; someone very, very special to help us. Dear Mother Goose, thank you so very much for joining with us to make our "Young People's Concert" such a great success. Sincerely, Frank Capeilini Assistant Director Instructional Programs Humanities

Dear Ann, Thank you so much for bringing "Mother Goose". to our dedication festivities recently. You were simply delightful and charmed all of the children with your rhyming verse and creative play. I think they were enchanted just by your personification of the legendary character. The streamers you shared with each child allowed them to take home a piece of the magical time they enjoyed at the library. I was also impressed with the special way you talked to individual children and how you incorporated Freeholder Handlin into the show. It was, indeed, a memorable dedication. Once again, many thanks to "Mother Goose" for sharing her time, talent, and love of literature with our young patrons. Sincerely, Pat Findra Assistant Coordinator Children's Department

Dear Ms. Coppola, Thank you very much for sharing your time and talents with NJADB at our Fall Festival & Walk-A-Long. Your performance was excellent -the children were spell bound! I only wish that there were more people at the event to enjoy the show. Hopefully Mother Nature will be more cooperative at next year's event. Thank you again for joining NJADB at this special event. The money raised through this campaign helps us to continue providing quality supports and services to individuals who are deaf-blind, deaf or blind throughout New Jersey. We hope to see you next year. Have a very happy holiday season! Sincerely, Jennifer Rector Director of Development
