The use of "for"

Hi

I would like to know, if I write a thank note to a company and want to thank them for two things, should the sentence be:

a) "thank you most warmly for being one of our sponsors and officiating the ceremony"

OR

b) "thank you most warmly for being one of our sponsors and for officiating the ceremony"

please advise.

thanks

But I like the style of using the second 'for' in your example, because of the lengths of the two phrases. Clive
