December 2006 - No. 4  
Dear Neighbors:

Let me begin by wishing you and your family a happy holiday season!
At a time when so many have so little, it is wonderful to live among people who care enough to ease the burden. There is still time for you to get involved and help a needy family this holiday season. We need gift cards for teens from places like Target, Old Navy, Blockbuster, etc. Gift cards from Publix and Winn-Dixie are also appreciated. Click here for more information on how you can help. We also need volunteers. If you would like to be a holiday helper, please e-mail Edith Carranza.
Joy to the world!

As South Florida recovered, CBS4 made a commitment to make Neighbors an integral part of its community service program. Using the power of television to reach people who want to help and by forging relationships with important community and business leaders, Neighbors has evolved into a valuable resource for individuals and families in our community facing critical needs.
