Dear Editor,

I would like to take this opportunity to convey special thanks and commend Holzer Health System for organizing and carrying out their annual Halloween Treat Street held on Tuesday, Oct. 23rd. Simply put, Holzer’s went above and beyond average expectations for a trick or treat event held for kids and family members. I hope everyone who attended this event realizes the amount of volunteer service time and extra work the administration and staff at Holzer’s gave so selflessly in carrying out this event. It was quite evident that many went to great lengths to make the evening a huge success!

I also applaud all of the departments that participated in the event to provide a safe and entertaining evening for the community. As literally hundreds and hundreds of children went from booth to booth for treats and/or entertainment, there was no need to worry about the safety of any of the candy being handed out by the employees. Finally, administration and employees with passion and dedication to give of themselves to their community so selflessly speaks volumes and should not go unnoticed. Therefore, I want to thank you again and praise all of those involved in providing a fantastic and engaging evening for nearly 2000 people throughout our community.

Barb Shelton,
