The people of the Miss-Lou are famous for their generosity at Christmas time and all throughout the year. Once again they have gone above and beyond in spreading Christmas cheer. On behalf of the Children’s Christmas Tree Fund we want to thank the many people who made this charity a success in the 2007 holiday season. Without our many generous contributors, small and large, we would not be able to provide Christmas cheer to more than 400 deserving children.

Additionally, we would like to specifically thank Margaret Graves, Kelly Graves, Mr. Thomas Floyd, Mr. Michael Matthews, Dr. Wayne Barnett, Julie Finley, Dicky Butler, Lauren Mullins, Speedy Wilson, Red Owens and Jefferson Street Methodist Church, Cheryl Free and her associates at Wal-Mart, Cathedral School students and Trinity School students.

While Christmas is still many months away, we are already planning for another successful season of giving for the Children’s Christmas Tree Fund.

It is a comfort to know that we can count on the extraordinary support and participation of this community. I look forward to working with all of you again next season.
