Dear Danielle and Cally,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to wish you and the entire MIT Guild of Bell Ringers a fantastic Thanksgiving.

This season of gratitude has reminded me of how profoundly grateful we are for the incredible opportunity you gave my son Max to assist and join you during your bell ringing at Old North Church for his birthday in late September. That experience left a lasting impression on Max, and our family will forever cherish those memories.

Proof of its impact is in Max’s nightly bedtime routine—he now asks us every single evening to tell him the story of when he rang the bells with the MIT Bell Ringers. Inspired by that day, we’ve sculpted bells with clay and baked them, set up a small “rope and wheel” bell-ringing system in our living room, read books about Paul Revere, and even composed a song about the Liberty Bell with a bit of help from AI.

Your generosity and the joy you brought to Max mean the world to us. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for sharing your passion for bell ringing and creating such a magical experience for our son.

Wishing you all a warm and joyful Thanksgiving!

Best regards,

Luca, Anjeza, and Max Sechi
