Holiday Party 2013 Charitable Gifts Message from Diane

2013 Designated Book Recipient:  Cardiac Unit, Rady's Childrens Hospital

Many of you may have known Ron Kopensky.  Ron was a Trails neighbor for many years.  He was a successful State Farm insurance agent, dedicated Girls Youth Basketball coach, great tennis player, and all-around tremendous person.  Ron suffered a fatal heart attack on October 29th and leaves behind a wonderful wife, Theresa, and daughter, Katie.  In his memory, I thought it would be a nice tribute to Ron to direct our book giving this holiday season to the cardiac patients at Children's Hospital.  The Child Life Specialist in the Cardiac Care unit requested the titles below; she stated that a few copies of each would be very much appreciated - so don't worry about duplications.  Please feel free to pick any title and bring to the Holiday Party on December 14th.  No need to wrap your gift.  I will make sure that they are delivered to Rady's.  (fyi:  I checked Amazon; all of these titles are available online; some are out of print and some may not arrive until after Christmas but please just know that whatever you can do will be much appreciated.)

Many thanks, Diane
