Colgate Alumni Message Board for Bob Woodruff '83

Bob Woodruff Message Board

The Alumni Corp has set up a message board for Bob Woodruff and his family so the Colgate Family can express the thoughts and prayers for Bob's recovery.

I was especially touched by this post. It's hard to imagine how life has changed for Lee and their kids. I encourage anyone in the Rye - Westchester County area to help out as they are able.

Bob (a former classmate) and his family live in my town of Rye and we are all praying for his speedy recovery. His family has issued the following request that I thought I would share in case you want to help out. The area codes are 914 in Westchester if you want to follow-up with the sender of the letter.

Best regards,
Wendy

Woodruff Family Support


The Woodruff family is extremely grateful for all of your support during this difficult time. Many of you have offered to help in many different ways, and, again, Lee thanks all of you. At this point, the situation at home has settled down somewhat, and the family is trying to establish a quieter atmosphere for the benefit of the kids.

The one thing that Bob and Lee’s brothers and sisters have asked for is a food support system to help the family get through what could be a lengthy recovery. To that end, we have outlined below several options for those of you who would like to contribute.

Home-cooked Meals: If you would like to cook a meal for the family, please contact Vicki McHugh at vom0707@aol.com or 921-0707

Cornerstone Catering: If you would like to contribute to this gourmet-catering store, please contact Amy Swank at swank1@optonline.net or 921-0894

Piazza Pizzeria: If you would like to contribute to this Pizza Place please contact Lois Lavelle at JLCKKK@aol.com or 967-3624

Rye Country Store: If you would like to contribute to this local catering/market store, please contact Alicia Chabot at acnewhome@aol.com or 967-9223

Please know that a system is in place to monitor the amount of food being prepared, bought etc…. and an itemized list of your donations will be kept and given to the Woodruff family periodically.

Many of you have asked about helping with the children. Right now the family believes that the best thing for Mack, Cathryn, Nora and Claire is regularity and consistency with their routine. They are blessed with their long-time caregiver, Diana, and they see familiar faces on play-dates, rides to practices, etc – again, the goal is to keep things consistent and familiar.

Once again, thank you for your support. If you have any further questions please contact me at 967-9223 or acnewhome@aol.com

Thank You,
Alicia Chabot
