Dear Life Changing Supporter,

Seasons Greetings to you all. As the end of the year approaches, we can reflect upon this year with excitement and fulfillment. We achieved another milestone as we graduated our sixth group of Little Sisters in the SISTER2sister Program and look forward with anticipation for what next year will bring.

Our outstanding accomplishments are a reflection of the dedication and tireless work of our staff, volunteers and supporters who have wholeheartedly banded together to make a phenomenal difference in the lives of our Little Sisters.

I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful and safe Christmas and thank you so much for your ongoing support.
