Message of Thanks from Mary Strasser

Thanksgiving is a time for reflection; a time to acknowledge the good things for which we are grateful. I’m grateful that there are great VISTAs like you who are giving a year of your life to fight poverty.

With so many people struggling through these challenging economic times, you represent a positive force. I also recognize that your service presents its own challenges, but I hope that it is also provides a sense of accomplishment -- knowing that you are serving your country, making it a better place for future generations.

I appreciate your hard work and hope that you will take time to spend the Thanksgiving Day with family or friends. Thank you.
