Dear Friends,

I hope that you will join me at the 2009 St. Joe's Holiday Ball, Paris - City of Lights. Guests will enjoy an evening in the grand style of one of the world's most celebrated cities, while supporting the future of our community.

Proceeds will benefit the new Mother/Baby Unit as part of the Hospital's Patient Towers project ensuring a remarkable experience for families, and especially for mothers, who are bringing a new life into the world.

We are fortunate to have a community that places the highest value on quality health care. The generous collaboration of community members, business leaders, and physicians has helped create some of the most advanced medicine, treatments and innovative practices. The dedication, expertise, knowledge and generosity that are the foundation of world-class health care have made the difference for patients and families.

This year's Holiday Ball is a Celebration of Lights. A celebration of all that light represents - joy, hopefulness and life. Let us transform this evening into an example of the ongoing generosity and goodness of our community.

I look forward to seeing you December 5, 2009, in our Paris - City of Lights!

Sincerely,

Laurie Prager
2009 Holiday Ball Chair
