December 2010


Dear Clients, Friends and Colleagues:

As we put another year in the history books, I hope you have the time to be thankful for all the good things in life. While life presents many challenges, it surely is a gift worth appreciating and treasuring. So, this holiday season, I encourage you to spend time with the people you love and enjoy the memories you create that will last a lifetime.

At Littman Krooks, we are thankful for the opportunity to have a relationship with you and to be able to bring you our monthly newsletter. We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Happy Holidays,
