Good morning Friends!

My apology, last week, I failed to wish everyone it pertains to a Happy Hanukkah! 

I'm proud to report that we helped make this year's Hollywood Christmas Parade a huge success!  Check out

this article

to learn what we did as a community.  And how to catch the parade on TV this weekend.

Also, the La Quinta Library is having its first

Finally, all the driving news and car shows are linked below.

Warm holiday wishes,
