Hello!
 Welcome to Express Mail, the newsletter of the Fondren Express Trolley, and Merry Christmas! We're a couple of days early this time around to bring you holiday greetings before you get settled in, celebrating with family and friends. We hope you'll be safe, that you'll find every thing you wished for in the stocking or under the tree, and that most of all, you will take time to enjoy the people and things around you that make you happy. This is a season to slow down and savor all the good things in life. It's also a time of the year for us to say thanks to you for a great 2009. As 2010 gets underway, we hope you will consider the Fondren Express in all of your planning. For birthdays, weddings, corporate events, dinners, fundraisers or any any other special occasion, the trolley adds a special touch to the celebration. Once again, Merry Christmas...and a very Happy New Year from all of us at the Fondren Express! |
