Editor: I have been meaning to write to welcome your paper and your staff to town. I and many others are very glad you're here, and look forward to our Daily Press, either in newsprint or in that great online format you offer.
But what finally prompted this letter is Saturday's article about the Dolphin Change Program, The Chamber Homeless Task Force and other non-profits and entities in which I'm involved.
Chris Young did a great job writing, and I know you have limited space, but I just want to emphasize that whatever I do is multiplied a thousand times by the efforts of all the rest who also volunteer in this community.
The co-chairs of the Chamber's Super Bowl-A-Thon, Donna Evans and Marilyn Beck, are the powers behind our fundraising efforts which allows the Homeless Task Force to do so much.
They are tireless and amazing! The directors of the Bayside District Corporation conceived of and funded the initial Dolphin Change Banks — what commitment to our community!
Our task force members like Kathy Irby of Encino State Bank and Laurel Rosen of the Lobster give incredible amounts of time.
There are many more names, and faces behind the names. And they all help make Santa Monica great.
