Director's Message

December 23, 2004

To: DHS Employees
From: Gary Weeks, Director


Holiday wishes

For many reasons, this time of year has special meaning for people throughout the world. For some, this is a time of deep religious significance. For others, this is a time for family and friends to share the gift of giving with each other through presents, acts of goodwill, and expressions of love and support. And for some of us, this is the time to celebrate the beginning of a new year and all the hope and promise that may bring.

While we all celebrate this season for different reasons, I hope that you experience the love and fellowship of family and friends throughout the holidays. I offer each of you my very best wishes for a wonderful new year. Please enjoy your time away from work and travel safely.


Food for thought

"We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."
Winston Churchill (1874 -1965)
