HMI Board Members for 2010

President Matt Moore - Vice President John Niemiec - Jennifer Bradley- Karl Fritzinger - Olga Leake

From The President

Samuel Matthew Moore, came into the world today at 3:52am at Riddle Hospital,Riddle,PA.

The wee lad came in at 6.13 lbs and they somehow forgot to measure the boy. Mother and Son are doing great. Delivery was as smooth as they can be.

Donna was in labor most of yesterday and thankfully the snow stopped early in the afternoon so we could make it to the hospital with no problems.

The lad will be home on Tuesday, and then the real fun begins!

Happy Day!

Matt
