Seasons Greetings

... or, why we didn't send any Christmas cards

It is a tradition at Smith Myers Communications that we do not send Christmas cards to customers and associates but that instead we make a donation to charity. As well as being more environmentally friendly it is a way for us, in the true spirit of the Christmas season, to spread a little goodwill. We are sure that you will all appreciate this approach and may we take this opportunity to wish everyone the very best of the season.

For 2007 we have made donations to three charities. These are:

	Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. They support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,250 scientists, doctors and nurses.
	Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries.
	Garden House Hospice in Letchworth is a local charity offering hospice care and support to patients from the community with a terminal diagnosis. It serves the communities of Baldock, Hitchin, Letchworth, Royston, Stevenage and the surrounding villages of North Hertfordshire.

Christmas / New Year Shutdown

Smith Myers will close its doors for the Christmas break on Friday 21st December 2007 and will reopen on Wednesday 2rd January 2008. During this period our main phone line will be available for leaving messages but we regret that we will be unable to respond until the New Year.
