Then after 25 years I finally visited my aunts and uncles, across the country all in one year.” Eileen Hinrichs “As a 30-year Multiple Sclerosis patient and fonder of a Queens M.S. Chapter in the 70s, I’ve been able to provide social activities and some health services to other M.S. patients for the last 10 years.” Celeste Balducci-Chapin “Being involved with many community groups and my children’s school has added special meaning to my life. It is very rewarding to be able to help others in need.” Bill Kresse “The good Lord has blessed me with a certain amount of talent for making people happy.
