To The Editor:

On Jan. 24, we held our first basketball tournament at PCS between PCS, NNCS, and PHCS districts. This basketball tournament was to honor Joanne Bigwarfe and Joanne’s Gift of Love Scholarship Fund.

We want to thank the volunteers, the supporters, the community and a special thank you to the sponsors: GNP (Great Northern Printing), Today’s Hair and Day Spa, Alphine Seeding, Chips Place, LTI and The Body Shop, Jose L. Lizardi MD, Michael Maresca MD, Marta Szoke MD, The UPS Store, and Carey White Photography and friends and family for your support and donations.

The events proceeds will help a NNCS and PCS student in his or her endeavors. Without you we would not be able to do this. We also, want to thank the staff of PCS, NNCS, and PHCS, for all their love, compassion and remembrance of Joanne. She would be greatly appreciative and humbled.

Also, we would like to thank the Potsdam Booster Club for all their support. It’s an honor to say we all live in such communities.

Also, we would like to congratulate Judy Eagles for winning the 46” RCA flat screen TV.

We thank you all again for your support.
