Janet Greene was about as positive a person as you might ever meet. Most of the time I spent with her was at my mother’s family’s cottage in Thousand Islands Park in upstate New York. I have fond memories of evening walks among the beautiful Victorian cottages there, and of boating on the river. My Aunt Janet passed away last year.

Janet was an enthusiastic children’s art teacher. A fund has been set up in her name to sponsor art activities and/or art classes in the summer for kids in the park. So just in case you are feeling philanthropic or generous or you just like the idea of encouraging kids to make art, you can send a donation of any size to:

The Janet Green Fund
c/o Ellen Detlefsen, Tabernacle Committee
216 Tennyson Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15213 U.S.A.
or after 1 May

The Janet Green Fund
c/o Ellen Detlefsen, Tabernacle Committee
Thousand Island Park, NY 13692

Let me extend a personal thank you for any and all donations: thank you!
