Letter: Know who you’re stealing from

— Once again, one of our office/storage buildings at the rodeo grounds has been broken into. This time the thieves stole a lot of items that were being donated each month by club members.
These items were to be used to make Christmas Love parcels for each and every member of all of the Jacksonville nursing homes. This is a project that is very dear to our hearts and just because you took some of the stuff doesn’t mean it won’t get replaced.
Just so you know, you didn’t really steal from us — you took from someone’s grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, brother or sister. You might possibley have taken things that would have gone to someone in your family.
I hope you put these things to good use. We would have!
