"On behalf of the students and faculty at RES, we would like to take this opportunity to formally express our thanks and sincerest appreciation to GATE and the volunteers that worked to diligently to put the bountiful baskets together. Your generous spirit brought much excitement to the day. In addition words cannot caputre the emotion and surprise displayed by each and every child when they received their basket. Truly, it was special day."
