DAVIS AND GRAEBER INSURANCE PROVIDES VOLUNTEERS

We would like to thank the people at Davis and Graeber insurance of Redlands for there interest and assistance in our program. Davis and Graeber Insurance Company will provide two employees each Friday morning to be readers for the Los Angeles times. We thank the Davis and Graeber Insurance Company for helping out their community in this way, and we welcome the new Friday morning volunteers.

FUND RAISERS

With the beginning of our new year, we are happy to be offering to you, once again, the 1998 Entertainment Coupon books. They cost $25.00, and AUDIO VISION receives $5.00 from each book sold. See me or Don to purchase your coupon book. If you like great bargains, be sure and get your coupon book this year.

We are now starting to take orders for our See's Candy fund raiser. This is a great fund raising activity. Who likes Chocolate candy, or know someone who does? They come in a Christmas or Hanukkah wrap, and the best part is they are only $8.75 per pound box. That's less than you can buy them in the See's Candy Store. We are also offering specialty items, please add 10 percent on specialty items' whole sale price from the catalog.

Place your order today. The first shipment will arrive approximately one week prior to Thanks Giving. We will have a second delivery date approximately 10 days before Christmas. Note which delivery date you prefer.

You can find the sign up sheets on the coffee counter. Fill free to take a sign up sheet for your place of work, friends, or family. Please make checks payable to AUDIO VISION. The checks won't be deposited until the second week of November. Thank you for your support once again this year.
