(Editor’s Note: This is the first of two posts from our main contacts in Kaniv. This first post presents the letter sent by Anatoly Leontyev, President of the Kaniv Friendship Association, which is the organization with whom SSCA coordinates the transfer of donations. The second post, which will appear later this week, is from the Mayor of Kaniv, Ihor Renkas. Both letters were sent to Kaeti Bailie, Chair of the Sonoma-Kaniv Sister City Committee. Thank you, Kaeti, for passing these along.)
Dear friends,
I congratulate you on the holiday, Memorial Day. Together with you, we remember and pay our respects to our soldiers who died for the freedom and independence of our country.
In recent days, the enemy has been carrying out nightly air attacks on Kyiv and other cities, setting up a kind of hellish disco. Last night, 2 Shahed drones were shot down near Kaniv over the Dnieper. But this only strengthens our determination to move towards Victory.
I also inform you that your tranche of $20,000 dollars has been successfully credited to the bank account of our Association.
This is invaluable support and help!!!!
Have a nice day and all the best!
Sincerely,
Anatoly Leontyev, President Kaniv Friendship Association
