BUDDY NEWS Great Big Buddy Thank You!! The Buddy Club has had a wonderful and amazing year. Our group has grown from the original four members to more than fifty with an average of 20-25 folks a day. Our success would not have been possible without the support of local businesses, churches and individuals. For that reason the Buddies would like to dedicate this issue of the Buddy Biz to those kind and loving folks. Our donors are: Ledo's Pizza, Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Subway, Papa John's, Manassas Park Fire and Rescue, Manassas Park K-9 unit, PTRC, Manassas Church of Christ, Staples, Food Lion, Home Depot, Giant Foods, Carl and Brenda Willis and the Salgado and Atkinson families. Of course, we want to acknowledge all the wonderful people here at the Community Center...they are the best! Thanks to you one and all for helping provide the Buddies with so many happy and lasting memories.
