On behalf of the Board of Directors I cordially invite you to join with other Lauren residents (138 owners and tenants participated in this program in 2002) in our annual Holiday show of appreciation to the hourly employees of the association. We continue to be fortunate in having fine employees who maintain a high quality of life in the Lauren. Throughout the year Cacho, Henry, Thomas B., Letta, Sergio, Salvador, Rachel, Ruth, Thomas M., and Beatrice have been of great assistance to many of us.

Contributions can be made in the following manner*

Checks should be made payable to The Lauren and deposited at the front desk. To assure proper accounting, we would appreciate your donation in the form of a check.

We would like all monies by Monday, December 15, 2003. This will assure our employees receiving their gift in advance of Christmas itself.

An acknowledgment list of all donors (not amounts) will be published. If you prefer not to be listed by name please so indicate when leaving off your check. The number of anonymous donors will be acknowledged.
