Customer Comments from AROUND THE CORNER

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for the items you donated for the 2012 Alkathon. We raised over $5,000 for the patient fund with the Silent Auction. It was a great success and we could not have done it without your generous support. We appreciate the kindness you and other members of our community have extended to the patients we care for.
Norton Valley Hope

Rural Telephone,
Thank you for offering rides at our Antique Tractor Show. Thanks to you, we were able to celebrate 175 years of John Deere and Hays Carrico Implement's 10th Anniversary! We had a great turnout and greatly appreciate your presence at our show.
Thank you! Cindy, Carrico Implement

Dear Nex-Tech,
Thank you for your donation to WACKY Day. It was a fun day to learn about animals. I'm also using the water bottle that we got it's really cool. I also really liked Kooper. I appreciate your help with this program and hope you continue to support it.
Sincerely, Brianna, Logan Elementary School

Home Movies at Disneyland
Shot in 1956, one year after Disneyland opened, this home movie beautifully captures the California theme park's early days. Posted by Jeff Altman, it was shot by his grandfather and includes footage of his grandmother meeting Walt Disney.


Shake It Up
This fun and educational video shows how different animals quickly shake themselves dry. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology studied 16 soggy species including mice, dogs, tigers, and bears. Boy, can they move!
