December 2007 

As this year draws to a close, there are a lot of exciting new beginnings ahead for the PBCC.  In recent months, it has become obvious to us that we need to move our office.  We are situated in a residential part of town that has dramatically deteriorated in recent years.  It is time to move onward and upward!   

Mr. William Donecker has been our landlord for the past ten years, and we appreciate and are thankful for all he has done for us.  It has been wonderful being part of the Doneckers community.  And it should not go without saying, that in those ten years, we never once paid for electricity or heat.  And we were getting a great deal on the square footage rate.  Thank you Mr. Donecker!

So while it is necessary that we move, I have been wondering how we are going to afford our newer, much safer, space.  Enter Ted Williams.  Ted’s wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and is currently undergoing treatment.  She received one of our Friends Like Me care packages, and they both attended our conference in October.  Ted is a Senior Financial Advisor at Ameriprise Financial in Lancaster County and, to use his words, was looking for a cause to champion.  He reached deep into his pockets and is giving us a generous donation that will cover our increase in rent at the new office!  He is our office guardian angel! 

It is people like Ted, who truly allow us to continue serving the women of this state with breast cancer.  Please take a moment to thank him by calling him at 717-431-0522 or by emailing him at theodore.p.williams@ampf.com.  He would love to hear from you. 

Sincerely,

Heather Hibshman
Executive Director
