Happy Holidays From The Lavin Agency - Instead of Cards, We Sent a Cow!


Please accept our warmest wishes for a peaceful and relaxing holiday season, and a joyous 2006. In lieu of holiday cards, we have made a donation on behalf of our clients to World Vision which will purchase one milking cow for a family in a developing country. Capable of producing 200,000 glasses of milk in its lifetime, a cow is a gold mine of health for a poor family.
