It's been a momentous and challenging year, harder for some, better for others, and unforgettable for all of us. As we come to the end of 2009 with festival and celebration, We'd like to wish you and your loved ones a peaceful, generous holiday, and a bountiful, safe Twenty-Ten.

And if its not too much trouble, and I don't come off as being preachy here, please spare some time in your day to reflect the plight of others in far worse shape than you. Giving to a local charity can make a huge difference in other's lives, whether you deem your contributions large or small, it all counts.

Also, and this really is the last thing, When you're trying to get out of the Wal-Mart parking lot, and there's a line of cars ahead of you all trying to leave the shopping center at once, remember this as you begin to get steamed up , impatient and tired of the whole shopping thing: You can always drive around the back of the store and avoid the congestion altogether. Works like a charm.

Our Very Best Wishes,

Dan Brereton & Family
