To the editor:

It has been 19 years since Jimmy and I opened the doors at Angie's Family Restaurant on Main Street in Chatham. During that time, we've met and served thousands of people.

Over Breakfast, Lunch, & countless cups of coffee, so many of you have become friends. Even so, your response during our biggest setback has been such a wonderful surprise and we wanted to express our heartfelt thanks!

First, we'd like to thank all the fire departments that responded to the tragic fire that occurred on Sunday, Feb. 26. We are grateful to their quick response. 

Second, we would like to thank Lori Medico from Bliss Clothing and Accessories and Len Resto from Chatham Borough Council, who set up a relief fund raising $4,000 to cover expenses not covered by insurance.  

Third, we would like to thank all of the generous people who contributed to the relief fund.

And last, but not least, we would like to thank all of our loyal customers who have helped make Angie's special just by being there!

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Jimmy and Louise Poulimenos
