Happy New Year to all members of The Arc-South Bay! We hope that this year will bring peace, happiness and comfort to all.

Congratulations to our See’s Candies Super Sellers (Winter Campaign). Topping the list was Juanita Harvey (SWI) with $505! Wow, what a sugar high! Coming in second place was Hattie Davis (ADC-G) with a not-so-measly $473! Third place went to Alice Simpson (ADC-G) with $228. First and second place winners received a free one-pound box of See’s assorted chocolates. Also scoring with high sales were: Sylvia Cameron, Paul Kang, Mr. and Mrs. Acuna, Ruby Rhodes, Mr. and Mrs. Giron, Mr. and Mrs. Vink, Bobbie Hull and Llluana Miles. To each of you and everyone else who purchased candy, our sincere thanks for contributing to a very successful and sweet campaign.
