WE HOPE ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES HAVE A HAPPY THANSGIVING AND A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON. . .This year, Thanksgiving — one of our most traditional American holidays — may be more meaningful than ever. After more than 20 months of dealing with the pandemic and all the changes it brought into our lives, many are making plans to once again gather together with families and friends — and appreciate the togetherness all the more after last year’s holidays. As we celebrate the joy of being back together, thankful for our health and bounty, let us also remember those among us who are less fortunate and in need of our attention and care. We wish you all a safe, healthy and happy Thanksgiving. 

-- John

We will be back next week with a our full newsletter.
