Greetings All!

We are finally out of hurricane season for the year 2009. With that said, we had a very interesting year regarding disasters throughout the United States.  The Red Cross responded to many Disaster Relief Operations; ice storms, floods, tornados, earthquake, tsunami, wild fires and hurricanes. However, we were spared this hurricane season, which was a good thing for the Red Cross.

If you plan to be in Quartzite, Arizona, in January, we would like to invite all DOVE’s to our informal potluck. Escapees Happy Hour at Quartzsite will be held January 13-14, 2010. We have coordinated our potluck around the Escapees time frame and plan to meet on Saturday January 16, 2010. Please go onto our website Forum for exact location and time.

For the months of December and January, we would like to offer you a special discount on DOVE merchandise. All shirts are reduced to $10.00 each and hats are now $7.00. This does not include shipping. We have limited stock, so please order quickly to assure your size. Please contact Mike Mitchell at merchandise@dovebof.org for further information.

Wishing all of you a Very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
