Thanks to you, our 2008 Holiday Season Food Drive was a huge success!
Together we collected over 300 pounds of food for the Daily Bread Food Bank.
Next year we hope to double that amount!

To everyone who contributed to this very worthy cause, thank you very much!

Congratulations to Tom D. the winner of our Food Drive Ballot Draw. This year's prize was our whitening service valued at $350.

In this months newsletter we have included some pictures of Lillian's visit to Australia as well as a reminder regarding dental insurance plans in the 'Reminders Section'.
