May Day

/

When Melissa was growing up one of her favorite memories of the Spring was gathering flowers and candies into May Day baskets, and spreading cheer to her friends, family and neighbors in Kansas with a surprise visit (and gift!).

We decided to bring a bit of the mid-west charm to San Francisco this afternoon, surprising a few medical practices in the city with our own version of May Basket Day. With succulents, thank you cards, chocolates and communication printouts we visited our friends at Noe Valley Pediatrics, Getz Well, Discover Health and the Hearing and Speech Center of Northern California. We are grateful to each of them for their continued support in providing exceptional speech, language and hearing care to their patients. Thanks for being a part of our May Day fun, and allowing us to drop by your offices this afternoon!
