 My name is John Collins. I am the president of Winthrop University Hospital and welcome to the 26th Winthrop University Hospital annual Christmas tree lighting. In just a few moments I will be calling up a special guest here, one of our patients from the hospital's pediatric hospital to press the button. And I'm delighted that the tree is so tall because I know you all share my thoughts and wishes that as the lights get turned on on this tree, that they shine overseas so that the good men and women serving in our military and in our armed forces know that they are in our thoughts and our prayers. We pray that they have a safe holiday season and a safe return back here to America. And suddenly all of us on the board take great pride in gathering and celebration tonight because it gives us the opportunity to gather as a group with some fidelity, camaraderie, some outside or inside later on, and really as a group reflect on all the wonderful blessings we have. So now I would ask everybody to join me in the countdown.
