Extended Family Makes Holiday Donation
Every year members of the extended family of Harlan and Lois Holzerland adopt a different cause to support instead of giving Christmas gifts to each other. This year, they chose Friendship Ventures.  They asked for a needs list and purchased dozens of items, from batteries and insect repellent to construction paper, markers, coloring books, Candyland and I Spy games, Nerf balls and Target and Wal-Mart gift cards.

Thanks to Donors
The holiday season has come and gone!  Everywhere there were signs of joy reflected in the festivities and the sharing spirit of the season.  We hope your holidays brought time to share laughter with family and friends and renew your belief in peace, happiness and friendship.  Your donation to the Friendship Ventures scholarship fund during our holiday campaign, gifts of stock, corporate matching donations and memorials and honor gifts made a tremendous difference.  We wish you a year filled with hope, happy memories and good health throughout the New Year.
Georgann Rumsey
President & CEO
