BRETHREN: Please note that the Valley has a calling program in place. Each month our officers will be calling our members who have a birthday that month just to check up on you, make sure you are receiving mail from the Valley and to see how you are. Don’t be surprised when that call comes, we just want to know how you are doing. If you have not received a call from us, please contact the Valley as we probably do not have a current phone number for you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!
