I finally formally presented, on behalf of the Sligo Creek Chapter, the
white canes you guys donated to the Sierra Leone Association of the Blind
(SLAB) at a brief ceremony yesterday, to mark the White Ccane Day
celebrations.  I will send you audio and video clips of the ceremony later.

The president and other members of the organization have asked me to convey
their sincere thanks to you.

Fred.
