Dear %%FirstName**Rockwell Friend%%

A Moment of Thanks

As we enter into 2015, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to our annual appeal last year. For every gift we received through mid-December, Price Chopper Supermarkets donated a canned good to The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. In total, 274 donations were received and delivered to our local Food Bank agency, the People's Pantry in Great Barrington.

Thanks for your continued support of Norman Rockwell Museum. Click here to learn how you can help the Museum's efforts in the New Year!
