							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            |  To the editor: Appreciation 
			to all who braved the heat for the 11th Annual Convoy For Kids Truck 
			Show, held on Saturday, June 16, 2018. 
 We had a great day, even with the heat. Forty-four trucks were in 
			attendance.
 
 We are grateful to all of our sponsors and all who gave to St. 
			Jude’s. Appreciation also to the Mason City Christian Church for 
			hosting the Light The Night Party as a prelude to our firework show. 
			Special appreciation to Bob Harris for the use of the field to shoot 
			the fireworks from. To Guy Wands for all his help heading up the 
			evening festivities. To the Mason City Police and Fire Department 
			for all your assistance keeping everything safe.
 
 We would also like to say how grateful we are to those that donated 
			to the firework fund. Special appreciation to our major sponsors 
			Hull Trucking of Mason City, Midwest Trucker Association and Mason 
			County Transfer. We hope to keep the fireworks as an annual event 
			for Mason City, with your help we can do this.
 
            [to top of second column in this letter] | 
            
			 
            We hope to do other fundraisers to help in this 
			effort and we will still have the Mason City Firework Fund account 
			at the State Bank and National Bank. We hope you enjoyed the show 
			and hope to see you next year on Father’s Day weekend June 15th. 
 To help with these great events or help support them contact Jim 
			Harris at 217-899-2709.
