From the desk of...
CHIEF CHIEF RABBAN RABBAN
Parade season has started! The Veteran’s
Day Parade has passed. It is always
great to see the people come out
and support our Veterans and our
Country. Please try to make all the
Christmas Parades. It’s a great time
to show our cities and towns how
much we appreciate them and their
support they give to the Paper Sale.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving
and Merry Christmas and always a
Happy New Year!!

Well the holiday season is upon us. The
Christmas Parades have started and
Thanksgiving is over until next year.
Hope to see everyone sometime during
the parade season and at the upcoming
Patients’ Christmas Party. If you have
not experienced this party, then you
should come on out and see the miracles
that our hospitals have performed.
Kim and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year! Safe travels..
