Happy Holidays!

Tis the season of giving.....

I am blessed to be part of a movement that gives year round!

Thank you Hospice for caring and sharing 365 days of the year. Often your work goes unnoticed, quietly touching lives and lifting spirits, providing comfort and compassionate care to the most vulnerable among us.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your support system, providing resources for training volunteers to be part of your caring team.

There is a saying that volunteers are the heart of hospice. They truly give & share as a gift from their heart. But, it takes every discipline to provide the holistic care that makes Hospice very special for patients and families alike.

It is this diverse Team approach, combining people with many different gifts and talents that makes Hospice complete.

I hope that in the year ahead we will experience Peace. But, if and when tragedies and loss of life occurs, I am hopeful that many local Hospices will step up and support their communities when they need it most.

Thank you all for sharing the gifts of peace, love, joy and compassion year round!

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice or any other holiday, enjoy the season & best wishes for 2015.

Until next time,

Pat

PS For those that have been part of this newsletter family for a while, you may remember the birth of my grandson back in 2012. He is featured in the picture above - a happy and vibrant 2 year old. It is beautiful to see such JOY!

My capable and friendly assistant Ann will be taking your calls & replying to your emails during the holiday timeframe. She will update me remotely to create invoices and run credit cards, as well as reply to certain emails or phone calls that require my attention. Yes, I will be away on vacation, but available as needed.

Our Distribution Center will be open to receive our orders most of the days we are open and closed when we are closed. LOGO Workbooks will be batched, printed and shipped after the holiday.
