2011 Annual Appeal for Donations
“Gratitude can transform common days into
thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and
change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
— William Arthur Ward
November 2011
Dear Friend,
‘Tis the seasons to count our blessings. In this season of Thanksgiving, the feeling of gratitude is in the air. As parents, grandparents, siblings, family members and treating professionals of children diagnosed with Selective Mutism (SM), we ask that you “Count Your Blessings” using the “blessings list” below and then, click on the “$” to make your online donation and help us Rid the Silence.
Help us in our mission to Rid the Silence: As many of you know, often, family gatherings, including the upcoming holiday celebrations, are very difficult for children with SM. This year we request that you “Count Your Blessings” to help SMG continue to provide information and meaningful support to families and affected individuals across the world as we help to make their voices heard.
We also encourage you to forward the following link to your friends, family co-workers and those who are supportive of our cause http://www.selectivemutism.org/news/annual_appeal.doc, so that they, too, can experience the gift of gratitude and help our children and their families. May your holidays be blessed with love and joy.
Sincerely,
SMG-CAN
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
