All - With all of the holiday rush activities, Ward and I are considering moving our Christmas Dinner to January 13th or skipping it this year and plan on it for the second Wednesday on December 2016.

I think we could have a nice celebration in January, after all of the holiday rush calms down.

Send me an email or post your comments here.

When I asked how to help, he said that the Fisher House Foundation is a great organization that helps with the families.
