To the editor:

I have been told, and it is true, that I have been selling Good Cheer short.

I stated that in August of 2007 our food bank served 306 families and in August of 2008 we served 611 families a, 50-percent increase. That of course is NOT a 50-percent increase. That is a 100-percent increase.

I apologize for my error.
