Posted November 11, 2007 10:00 pm

To the editor: On behalf of the Hanover Township Food Pantry I want to thank those that made the eighth annual Hanover Township Food Pantry Candlelight Bowl a success. Thank you to our bowlers and generous sponsors: Spring Lakes Mobile Home Estates, Elmhurst-Chicago Stone Co., Ladies Auxiliary VFW & Bartlett VFW 11018, Stark Sanitary Service, Village of Streamwood, Arnold/Heath Memorial VFW 5151, Carpenter's Union Local 839, Mary McFarland - Re/Max, Tom & T.L. Arends, Brian & Peggy Barry, Mary Alice & Mike Benoit, Bev DeJovine, Peter & Marta Duffy, Examiner Publications, Patricia & William Hogan, Michael D. Hovde - State Farm Ins., Kid's Choice, Erin & Rick Probst, Timothy Ridenour, D.D.S., Norma Smith, Anthony & Janet Troyke, V & V Paesano.

The Hanover Township Food Pantry is funded by private donations -- not tax dollars -- and serves about 300 families per week. We depend on the generosity of our residents and local businesses to stay in business.

A special thank you to Norma Smith, our volunteer of the year, and Mayor Billy Roth and Sandy Stewart, and to all who help the pantry throughout the year.

Michael E. Kelly
