Christmas basket "thank you" and apology Arrow's Christmas basket project was again a success this year. Our partners this year were Dickerson & Quinn, Ltd. and Liberty House. We thank both for their generous contributions. Also, we would like to thank Terry Aguon at DPHSS for his assistance. Unfortunately, there may have been some people with HIV or AIDS who either didn't know about Arrow's Third Annual Christmas basket gifts or were too shy to ask. Arrow started its Christmas Basket Project in 1994 as a way of introducing ourselves to Guam's HIV/AIDS infected people and their families, and as a way to show that the community cares about people with HIV/AIDS. In 1994 and 1995, with the help of Guam's business leaders, we cheerfully assembled and wrapped lots of baskets. This year, however, we had fewer requests that we expected. Honestly, if Arrow's Santa missed you, we humbly apologize for him. We want everyone to have the opportunity to request a Christmas basket next year. Please help Arrow to remember you next year by giving either Arrow or the AIDS Unit at DPHSS a call as we get close to October. We'll try not to miss anyone next Christmas. As we look forward to another even better year, we want to express "Thanks" once again to Dickerson & Quinn, Ltd., to Liberty House, to Terry and to all those who helped to prepare the baskets. Your marvelous teamwork made Arrow's third annual Christmas Basket project a great success.
