As Year 2007 draws to an end, it is time to reflect back.

Year 2007 was the year that Coulson Group of Companies moved its Head Office. In many ways leaving our old office was like losing a good friend. As many of us have worked together for quite some time now, we each individually have many fond memories of 4590 Helen Street. I only worked there about 14 years, but I still remember Cliff always making the first pot of coffee each day, May always bringing treats for the staff on special days, and Wayne's children growing up around us. We are now settling into our new premises, still running the different Coulson Group companies, as well as the new Chances RimRock Gaming Centre. I always get the feeling that May and Cliff are quite happy with the progress and change. May loved visiting with people and the Gaming Centre is a safe, comfortable place for just that. Cliff would enjoy sitting in the Forest that is RimRock meeting with his fellow business owners. We have moved into a new era. While we may have lost a friend, it feels ok.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Accounting and Administrative staff for their support and hard work this year. It seems that every time we think that we can't do any more, we are challenged to take on another initiative and we get it done. I am very proud of each and every one of you.

It is my sincere hope that this Christmas brings good times with family and friends. My wish for 2008 is world peace. Wouldn't that be nice...

Merry Christmas to all, and may Year 2008 bring you love, joy, prosperity and happiness,
