THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, February 1, 2019 Page 3 Patty Kelly is taking on a new challenge as director of development for Bread of Life By Barbara Taormina P atty Kelly is a familiar face around Malden. Former classmates probably remember her from their years at Malden High School and her more recent role with the MHS Alumni Association. Some people might recall that she booked their family vacation back in her days as a travel agent. The business community knows her as a former president and an advisory board member of the Malden Chamber of Commerce. Scores of people know her from the 10 years she served as director of community engagement for Housing Families. Starting next week, Malden can get to know Kelly all over again in her new role as director of development for Bread of Life, a faith-based nonprofit organization that provides food, comfort and spiritual support to those in need in Malden and surrounding communities. “Bread of Life is a true gem in Malden,” said Kelly. “The mission is so compelling: food for the body, nurturing for the soul.” Kelly said part of what drew her to her new job was hearing Bread of Life’s Executive Director Gabriella Snyder Stelmack talk about her passion for the organization, its mission and its overarching goal of promoting peace and justice by alleviating hunger, poverty and need. “I’m here to support Gabriella and I think we’ll be the dynamic duo,” she said. While Kelly acknowledged Malden resident Patty Kelly is the new director of development for Bread of Life. (Courtesy Photo) DIRECTOR | SEE PAGE 11 THANK YOU! An Open Letter to the People of Malden As we return to work after the unnecessary and costly lockout by National Grid, we want thank the residents, businesses and politicians of Malden who stood with us and supported us over the last seven months. So many of our beeped and waved. Gestures like that kept us strong as the summer heat turned to winter frost. Our relationship with National Grid needs to be repaired, but the one with the City of Malden has never been stronger. There are so many deserving of our gratitude, but we wanted to make sure to pass along our thanks to: Mayor Gary Christensen, City Council President Debbie DeMaria and the entire Malden City Council, State Representatives Paul Donato, Paul Brodeur and Steve Ultrino, State Senator Jason Lewis, Congresswoman Katherine Clark, Arthur Spadafora, his family and everyone at Anthony’s, Joe Crowley and all the employees of Pisa Pizza, the Botticelli Family & Dom’s Sausage, Donut Villa, the Irish American, the Departments as well as those at Eversource 12004, Verizon 2222, Laborers 22 and Teamsters 25. Through this trying time, we were shown the true meaning of community by the City of Malden. Thank you all.
