Dunn Hospital has generously agreed to sponsor a Valentines Day Dinner on Valentines Day in Dunn Hospital's Hanon Room at 6:30 pm.

--It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!! Be on the look out for Girl Scouts selling cookies at WalMart, KMart, etc. Many Girl Scout troops are seeking donations for our troops at that time! All cookies donated will be shipped by HHAFFA to troops serving in war zones.

--Amanda Sullivan (wife of Nat'l Guardsman, Greg Sullivan) had a house fire this week. She and the children are fine, and Greg is at Ft Stewart training for his mission in Iraq. They are in need of several items, including clothing (14 year old girl--size 7 juniors; 11 year old girl--size 12; 10 year old girl--size 10; 8 year old boy--size 7). And I am sure that money and WalMart gift cards are also needed. Please let Jennifer Posson know if you have any items you would like to donate:
