MESSAGE FROM
HERMA HAWTHORNE, SECRETARY

I am truly delighted to be associated with such a noble institution; one that is making a difference in the lives of so many persons. I must commend the Founders and Executives of Golden Krust for initiating this move and for the display of unselfishness in giving back to the community. The establishment of the Foundation is a most befitting manner to honor the memory and bring to fruition the dreams of Mavis and Ephraim Hawthorne.
