O’BRIEN Graphic Artist COLE GIBSON Graphic Artist A Holiday Message From The Dispatch To Our Readers And Business Partners The holiday season provides us with the unique opportunity to express our gratitude and best wishes to those who make this community newspaper relevant – our faithful readers and dedicated clients. You are the pillars of our success and we thank you for helping make the last year a memorable one. No matter what holiday you are celebrating over the next couple weeks, our sincere wish is for everyone to take a few moments from the inevitable hectic pace that comes with these occasions to enjoy some quality time with those close to your heart. These are special times to share with your loved ones. At least for a day or two, remember to put aside all the worries of life and make some fresh memories. Rather than obsess on the uncontrollable, we owe it to ourselves to live in the moment, and there's no better time than the holidays to kick back and reflect on all that’s good in our lives. There’s plenty for all of us to be thankful for, and it’s incumbent upon us to recognize what’s cherished in our lives, particularly during this blessed time of year. “What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.” NOTED WRITER AGNES M. PHARO.
