"Four times a year, the Michigan Military Moms undertake a packaging effort, and thanks to the generosity of the Dodson Elementary students, we don't have to worry about where the fund• ing for our next packaging effort will come from," said Merrill Griffin, a Canton resident and recently elected vice chair of the MMMs. Griffin was one of the five moms who were on hand to receive the donation from the Dodson schoolchildren. All five MMMs present had children who went through Plymouth/Canton schools prior to joining the military. Griffin explained that funds from the Dodson students will be used to purchase LGenV lineup some of the more high-priced packaging items for the troops - like jerky and phone cards - and to defray the cost of the postage. Dodson students raised the money simply by mak• ing pennies king for one week; the more pennies a particular grade collected, the more that grade's stand• ing improved, as each penny equaled one point. And to make things more competitive, students were able to set other grades back by putting any other denomi• nation besides pennies into the collection jars of the com• peting grades. Each day, the amounts for other denomina• tions besides pennies were subtracted from that grade's overall points. There was additional incentive for students to par• ticipate, as each participant's name was added to ajar for a drawing that took place at the end of the competition. That's when two names were drawn from the jar and those two students were given the 3 "honor" of throwing pies in LG enV*2 the faces of physical educa• enV Verizon Wireless Exclusive tion teacher Dave Fedewa Verizon Wireless 3G Exclusive zort Wireless 3G Exclusive and the school's principal, • Full QWERTY keyboard for New oversized external touch screen Dan Carr.

"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." ^

The imminent collapse of the auto industry has been played out before our eyes over and over again these last several months, but in actuality, Ford Motor Co and all it s components, manufacturing, financing and distribution are pushing ahead and building momentum as they proceed.

We are proud and truthfully fortunate to be a Ford Motor Co. dealer in the community of Southfield MI. Ford's commitment to quality and design leadership has supplied us with a product that is a pleasure to sell for all the right reasons, good looks, great performance and dependability. Ford is bringing their team together and

it can compete with any manufacturer, domestic or foreign wha"Yout can'you tar bui.e goind a greputatio to do". n on Henry Ford and we are proud to be on the team.

At Avis Ford we feel no American has an obligation to buy an American car. But I do believe as beneficiaries of an industry that has given us so much and realistically defined the "middle class" in the United States, we share an obligation to take a serious look at America's automobiles. 1 Before you go out and buy a vehicle simply based on the logistics of where it was produced, stop by and see the innovative cars that fill Ford dealers showrooms.

Sincerely, James Witmer General Manager, Avis Ford C6 (*) Observer S Eccentric j Sunday, June 14,2009 online at hometownlife.com

As a Lincoln Mercury Dealer, I'm proud to be a part of this new direction. But the difference doesn't just end there. CEO Alan Mulally put it like this: "The real difference is in our plan, the strength of our great new products, and our quality, fuej efficiency, safety and value"

WHY FORD? WHY NOW? DIFFERENCE We are proud to be associated with the Ford UAW workers who are working hard to bring to market the vehicles that Americans want to buy. Americans have made the F150 the best selling vehicle of ANY type in the USA for the last 27 years; outselling #2 Silverado by 50,000 and #3 Camry by 79,000. And did you know that Focus, Mustang, Fusion, Escape, Edge, Econoiine and F-Series are all Segment sales leaders in Metropolitan WHY Detroit both in 2007 and 2008?

The Ford UAW worker has bought into quality and efficiency. The quality of Ford brand vehicles is unsurpassed by Toyota and Honda and Ford has more top safety rated vehicles than any other manufacturer ever in US history!

After 911, the Detroit Three and Harley Davidson gave $40 million-plus emergency vehicles to the recovery efforts. What was given to the 911 relief effort by the Asian and European Auto Manufactures? $0 Nada. Zip!

How about gas mileage? Another stereotype. Put the Ford models head to head against the imports; Ford Focus vs Toyota Corolla or Ford Escape vs. Honda CRV, etc. and Ford vehicles are better, equal to, or within about 1 mpg. and this is before Ford's new Eco-Boost engine technology, a winner of Popular Science Magazine's "Best of What's New for 2008" award, goes into production. The Eco-Boost engine will give you V8 performance with V6 fuel economy.

Want more new technology? We have it and more is coming soon. • SYNC This award-winning voice activated communications and entertainment system developed by Ford and Microsoft integrates Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and digital media players into the vehicle.
