Nucleus - Marketing and Design Newsletter

At Nova we wracked our collective brains for the perfect gift for you … Something to let you know how much we truly appreciate you and value our relationship.

In the end, we decided to do something a little bit different this year.

Rather than sending our traditional season greetings in the form of gifts or goodies, this year we wanted to give back to the organizations that are making a difference to so many people in our community—and across the nation. And we'd like you to be a part of that.

Share in the Gift of Giving

You can help us by voting for one of the four charities listed below*. When all the votes are in, we will make a donation to each organization based on the results. All charities will receive a donation.

• The Foodbank, Inc.
  Serving Montgomery, Greene and Preble Counties
  For every $100 contributed, The Foodbank can provide $1,000 worth of food – and it stays in the Miami Valley to help people in our local neighborhoods.

• Heifer International
  Heifer's approach to providing assistance to families is characterized the founder's philosophy of "not the cup, but the cow." Individual families around the world receive training and animal gifts to help them become self-reliant.

• American Red Cross
  In addition to domestic disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers community services that help the needy; support and comfort for military members and their families; the collection and distribution of lifesaving blood; educational programs that promote health and safety; and international relief and development program.

• Marine Toys for Tots Foundation
  The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation strives to deliver, through a new toy during the holiday season, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them into becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

Throughout the year, we've worked together. Now let's work together one more time to share in the gift of giving this holiday season.
