I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to:
Joe Dillard
Jeanmarie Jonston
Dayre Lias
Maureen and Rich Hurst
Patrick Gould
Paul Tobin
Stacie Solether and her two terrific kids!
Lois Ryan
Doug Krebs
for donating their time and energy to transporting and helping to assemble our Christmas
Reindeer at the gates to our beautiful community. I know you all enjoy the display. I
I know you understand how we all lead busy lives and have responsibilities to take care of.
When you see them, please tell them thank you too! We are getting on in years so it
gets more difficult to step up on a ladder, carry heavy boxes, hammer in camping stakes,
and cut and twist florist wires to anchor decorations into place.
The number of helpers this year was the sparsest we have ever had. Hopefully next year
there will be new neighbors willing to step forward to help.
All in all, we love our Forest and hope you enjoy the holidays, and hope those reindeer
help to enhance your holiday fun.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and New Year!!
Again, thank you all for your help.
Sincerely,
Lorraine Bracher
And a note from the elves — thank you to Lorraine for your creativity and leadership from all of us in the Forest!
