Write a letter about no longer volunteering.
You own Kitco Inc., a small financial consulting firm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For the last 12 years, some of your employees have voluntarily prepared and served a Thanksgiving meal at St. Benedict's homeless shelter in Baton Rouge. You paid for the turkeys, hams, and other trimmings to feed the 100-150 people; your employees cooked the food at their homes and served the meal at a local church. This meal has been greatly appreciated by the St. Benedict staff and anticipated by the poor and homeless people in the area.

However, you are closing your office in Baton Rouge and moving to Dallas in early October; therefore, no one from your company will be available in Baton Rouge to prepare and serve the meal. You have enjoyed your partnership with the homeless shelter, and you plan to continue the tradition in Dallas.

Although you cannot prepare and serve the meal, you will donate $250 to the shelter to cover the cost of buying the food. Write a letter to Pastor Sullivan DeMarco, giving him the bad news.
