Dear Editor:On behalf of the Women's Guild of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church here in Downey, I want to acknowledge and thank several local businesses who generously donated door prizes to our fundraising St. Patrick's Day luncheon on March 13 honoring our past presidents. Their kindness helped make our luncheon a huge success. Our guests told us that this event was one of the best that they have ever attended. I realize that the economy has made things more difficult for business, but this group did not hesitate to lend a helping hand to the Women's Guild for our fundraiser. With their help, we, in turn, are able to give back to the Downey community. We applaud their community spirit! - Paula Mayfield, Corresponding Secretary, OLPH Women's Guild
