The designation of the issuing bank was very evident, but the name of the personal account from which the money was drawn lacked identification. \u201cWhile we are most grateful for the gift,\u201d Abraham said, \u201cwe\u2019re unable to express our appreciation for the thoughtfulness.\u201d<br \/>\nAccording to Foundation officers, gifts have been received in the past by donors requesting anonymity. In those circumstances donors have received acknowledgements for their generosity. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do here,\u201d explained Abraham. \u201cWe hope that the donor will learn that we have received the check then contact us so that we may properly express our appreciation.\u201d<br \/>\nIf you are the donor and are learning for the first time why you\u2019ve never received a thank you note, complete the cycle by contacting Abraham or Foundation President John Sirrine, providing your name and brief details confirming the name of the issuing bank. Abraham can be reached at Abraham &#038; Gaffney, P.C., 989 224-6836. Sirrine may be contact at Sirrine &#038; Associates, 989 224-2853.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFrom whence this surprising windfall?\u201d That\u2019s the question John Sirrine, left, and Dale Abraham ponder over an anonymously received check for $1,000.00, payable to the Briggs Public Library Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25385\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
