The Tribune thanks all who have contributed to the clean up of the homes, farms, fields and properties damaged in the June 17 tornado outbreak.

The way people pitch in to help is among the many reasons why living in the Midwest is rewarding.

We also want to let people know we welcome all your thank you letters regarding the storm. We know some have arrived and expect many more are going to come.

Feel free to send them to Letter to the Editor, 808 W. Front St., Albert Lea, MN, 56007, or via e-mail to news@albertleatribune.com with the subject line “letter to the editor.”

Again, thanks.
