December is such an exciting time of the year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus and the end of another year. My hope is that you have a blessed time this Holiday season and that the New Year dawns bright and full of hope.

This is an especially enjoyable time of the year around Buckner as the children, families and senior adults we serve share renewed hope and joy. This past year has been filled with opportunities of service as Buckner has touched literally thousands of individuals.

As we turn the calendar into 2004, we are preparing to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Buckner. I am mindful that these years of service to others would not have been possible without the generosity and support from friends like you. On behalf of those we serve, I want to express our gratitude to you. My God bless you and may the New Year be filled with joy.

Sincerely,
