With the New Year around the corner, you might want to grab one of the local 2008 calendars with some beautiful ladies who have enormous hearts.
Proceeds will help the Danielle Conway Foundation. For 16 months, Danielle has been through a journey that you never want to experience, but she's smiled the whole way. Some fine local women achieved the dream of a calendar to help raise funds for Danielle's continued battle against cancer.
The kindness and generosity is astounding. Like always in our community, when someone needs assistance, it is there. I am blessed, Danielle stated, to live in this town and never walk my journey alone.
So if you haven't purchased one yet, go online and order one.
