To the editor:

I read the letter about someone at the Cape Girardeau Civic Center having a minor accident due to a leaky roof. The writer commented that it was sad the kids could not use the Osage Community Centre because they did not have transportation. I felt like I could do something.

I own and operate a self-service car wash on Themis Street in the neighborhood of the Civic Center. I decided to donate, on an ongoing basis, a portion of the proceeds of the car wash to the Civic Center. I have been doing this for a couple of weeks. Granted, it is not a lot of money, but every little bit helps. I would hope that other businesses in the neighborhood would do something similar if they are not doing so now.

Letters to the editor can make a difference.
