Thanks from Austin's House

EDITOR:

The board of directors and the staff at Austin's House would like to extend our sincere thanks to Edgewood Companies and Patty Clark of the Austin Kirby Foundation.

Edgewood Companies is the new identity of Park Cattle Co. They recently donated $8,250 to the Austin Kirby Foundation.

The money will be used to pay the annual land lease for Austin's House. Edgewood Companies has been a great supporter of Austin's House with more than $30,000 in donations over the past three years.

The Austin Kirby Foundation is by far the largest donor to Austin's House. Local real estate broker Patty Clark started the foundation in honor of her grandson. The facility was named after Austin Kirby.

The construction of Austin's House was truly a miracle.

We can never thank Patty Clark enough for her contributions. She is like an angel sent from heaven to help our cause.

Austin's House has changed the lives of more than 80 local children in crisis since opening in September 2007.

We are so blessed to live with such friendly and generous neighbors here in the Carson Valley.

Thanks again to Patty Clark, Edgewood Companies and everyone who has supported Austin's House.

Conrad Buedel

Austin's House board of directors
