Zane--The Hannas are the role models for the entire company. We see how hard they work and it makes us strive harder. The cause--Children's Care Fund--is a such a worthy cause. Come on over.

Diane--Wonderful thought! We have so many blessings compared to most third world countries. Sharing a few of our many blessings will make us richer in ways we never imagined. Thanks for stopping by yesterday.
