My name is Faith Swope and I am one of the Agriculture Interns who lives on campus. On behalf of myself, and my three other roommates, Jaden, Grace, and Shea, I would like to thank you for the Christmas tree we received as well as the Visa Gift Card! Christmas is the holiday for cheer and we couldn't be more excited to have our own tree to really put us in the holiday spirit! Thank you again for your gracious donation, our Christmas would not be the same without you!

Thank you so much for your donation of Christmas trees and Visa gift cards to each
of our intern houses! We greatly appreciate your generosity. Our house received Christmas
tree number 6, which had beautiful poinsettias all over it and matches the other decorations
in our living room perfectly! We plan on using the gift card to get some groceries
for all of us to share. Thank you again for considering us and bringing some holiday
cheer to our home!
Sincerely,
Ag Intern House #2

On behalf of house three on west campus we are so grateful that we got the opportunity
to pick out a Christmas tree for our house. Thank you so much for making that possible
for us to have. It looks great in our house and has brought a lot of Christmas joy!
We would also like to thank you for the visa gift card. It is always nice to get extra
support as we are living on west campus. We will be using the money to go towards
our groceries for the week. Thank you again for everything you have done for all of
us interns. We appreciate it! Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
House 3

I'd like to truly thank you and all of the MJC staff for the amazing Christmas trees
and the decorations. Everything looked absolutely amazing, especially after all the
hard work and time that went into them. From the Ag Department Interns in house 6
we truly thank you and we appreciate you for our nice tree in our living room and
the $100 visa gift cards. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!
