Recent news stories have indicated that many companies are pulling the plug on holiday parties because of the economy. We think this sends the wrong message to employees and is bad for morale. While Viacom gave 2 additional personal days to their employees, we intend to move forward with the 18th Annual Smith-Roberts Holiday Party. However, we thought we would take a page from a company we heard about who instead of throwing their office holiday bash will be donating to charity. So with that sense of holiday spirit and hope, we are asking you to bring a contribution (whatever you can afford to give) to The Other Place, a homeless shelter here in Dayton. Please join us as we end 2008 with a celebration of our friends and a look ahead to 2009! Our 2008 holiday letter will be available soon at: noumena12.blogspot.com For those of you who plan ahead, save the date for our 2009 party, mark your calendars for  December 19th 2009!! As always, it will be the 3rd Saturday in December :)<

    Ann and John - It turns out I forgot about a family obligation in Columbus on Saturday. If I am able, I will stop by on my way home from Columbus. If I don't make it, have a Merry Christmas!

    It turns out that I answered yes before we realized we had theater tickets for that night that we can't change. If it's not too late for us old folks, we will stop by after the theater. We will have an additional guest who is going to the theater with us. In any case, thanks for the invite and have a great Christmas and New Year.

    Dearest Ann and John -- Thanks very much for thinking of us. My mom will be visiting us from Maryland so we will have to decline.

We'll make a donation to The Other Place in gratitude.

    Ann and John, Sorry we can't attend but fully support your charity donation cause during these times. As CEO of one of Idaho's oldest charities for children, this year will be difficult and the need for services is expected to increase due to the times we are in. Good for you for supporting the needs in this way. Best to you both. Stewart and Debbie
