2004

This year, we formally recognized special donors in the following three categories:

Most Generous Corporate Donor: For 2004, we honored Middlesex Savings Bank, which has been a very loyal supporter since the foundation's inception back in 1995.

Most Generous Individual Donor: As we were just getting the Foundation up and running again at the end of 2003, we did not get a chance to host an awards ceremony that year. We did, however, receive generous donations from many in the community and therefore recognized Christopher and Karen Torti as our Most Generous Individual Donors for 2003 during our 2004 ceremony.

Nabil Hitti and Annemarie Loftus suggested that donations be made to the Ashland Education Foundation in memory of Nabil's recently departed father, who had a true passion for education. We were deeply touched by their thoughtfulness, and honored them as our Most Generous Donors for 2004.

Our final category is for Supporter of the Year. We are blessed to have a woman on our side who steps outside of the box and helps in wonderfully unexpected ways. Nadine Heaps of Purple Ink Insurance has been a consistent supporter of the AEFI since the early days, and of late has been sending donations in memory of loved ones lost in the community. She is also a notary, and in lieu of charging a fee for this service, she hands the person a stamped envelope and suggests they make a donation to the Foundation! For all that she does for our community, our schools and the AEFI, Nadine was acknowledged as our 2004 Supporter of the Year.

With sincere appreciation to our 2003-04 donors:
