Dear FARM Friend,

I was going to write year in review but can't because, frankly, our year is still in full swing. We are planning now for an even better 2008. One item I must mention is the amazing generosity of spirit, of heart, and of financial assistance to the FARM this year. We will close 2007 with our hearts and memories full because of all of you. And, as we open the mail, we are reminded of your financial generosity. We'd like think this means we're doing our jobs - meeting your expectations (and fulfilling some dreams along the way) hence cash, not coal is your gift to us this year.
