To the Editor:
My wife and I put on the large Christmas display on County Road in Oak Bluffs over the holidays. During the time our display is up, we collect for the Island Food Pantry.
We wish to thank reporter Barry Stringfellow and The MVTimes for publishing a story (Dec. 16, “Donations scant at iconic Island Christmas display”) about how the collection of donations for the Island Food Pantry had fallen behind our average collection for previous years. Because of this story, and the outstanding support of the Island community, we set an all-time high in how much was collected and brought to the Island Food Pantry. We hope all those who stopped by to see our display had an enjoyable time. See you next Thanksgiving, when the lights will shine again. Thanks again.
Rob and Lynn Gatchell
