Hi Everyone

How time flys. It seems like yesterday I was out buying my Christmas presents
for last year and load and behold, Christmas is back once again.

I would like to take this time and WISH EVERYONE here at the HAVEN A MERRY
CHRISTMAS. I hope you and your family the very best.

We are in some trying times right now, gas prices soaring thru the roof, heating
oil and gas to keep our homes warn is out of control, milk for our kids is
close to 4 dollars a gallon, my wheat bread i love to eat has went up to almost
4 dollars a loaf. The rich just keep getting richer and us little ones struggle
just to make ends meets from week to week.

Christmas time is for giving and there are many ways we all can lend a helping
hand to those with lots less than what we have.

Lend a helping hand to a family whom is struggling to even put a meal on the
table for there christmas dinner.

Buy a gift for that child in need.

Why not lend a hand to a homeless person. A nice hot meal goes a long way on a
very cold day.

Stop by a nursing home and spread some joy to our senior citizens.

Stop by the soup kitchen and drop off some food or even go there on christmas
day and lend a helping hand.

As you can see there are many ways we can help someone during these holidays.
We all still can do this no matter if its not a holiday. I know deep down
we all care no matter what or who it may be.

I would like all to take a minute or 2 on christmas day and remember our service men and
women whom is putting there lives on the line in iraq and afganast. I'm from
a military town and i see the bus loads of marines coming back and heading out
to war day in and day out.

Being there watching there love ones filled with joy seeing marines getting off that
bus and hugging them like there is no tommrow. When they get in that final Formation to
honor those marines that did not make that trip home is so heart breaking. I don't care
how manly you may be, IT BRINGS TEARS TO ALL.

If you get a chance and you see a serviceman or women rather its in the pass or
present, walk to to that person and shake there hand and just say THANK YOU.

I do hope that everyone has a wonderfull day tommrow, and that Santa Brought
you everything that you wanted.

I like to close and THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR MEMBERS for the great support given to the
HAVEN.

>

A SPECIAL THANKS TO MY ENTIRE STAFF. Your the BEST ever. You work so hard day in and
day out. You all make me so proud. I can never say THANK YOU ENOUGH.
