Peter reflects on the past year and hopes the coming year will be even better. He thanks donors for contributing toys to Toys for Tots through his office and is always amazed by people's generosity. In the past, Peter offered customers a donation to charity in lieu of a Christmas tree. As he reflects on community needs, Peter is thankful for what he has and selected the United Way of Addison County to receive a gift made possible by support from others.

1. Holiday Greeting -
As another year comes to end, I like to pause and think what has
been and what could be.
I hope it was a good year for you and your family and that the
coming year will be even better for us all. We are all lucky to be
involved in a very special part of the world.
Thank you for donating Toys for Tots at our office. Be assured that
there is a great need and that many community organizations come
to our office to distribute these wonderful gifts that you provided.
Each year I am amazed at the generosity and good spirit of the
donors.
In the past I have offered customers and clients who have had
transaction with me in the past year the choice of a Christmas Tree or
donation to a charity of their choice. Many chose to make a donation
to their favorite organization. I was happy to do this and be part of
the sharing.
As I pause and reflect on the many needs that are always present in
our midst, but not always visible, I am thankful for all of the
wonderful things that we do have. Not everyone is so fortunate.
I have selected the United Way of Addison County to be a recipient of a
gift that I hope will help in our local community. This donation is
made possible by your support and encouragement. Thanks for your
help in making this gift possible.
Happy New Year to you!
Peter
