IN SPRING, A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY TURNS TO THOUGHTS OF LOVE
     Remember to think of Palmetto Gems & Gemological Services of Chapin for fine diamond and precious gemstone engagement rings and wedding bands.  Spring is the busiest time for couples to design their own unique rings, and each personal touch can be captured in beautiful platinum, palladium or white/yellow gold. Stop by to see Ideal-cut oval, cushion, princess and round, brilliant-cut diamonds. Member-to-member discount is available to each Chamber member.  COMPLIMENTARY RING CHECKING & ULTRASONIC CLEANING AT PALMETTO GEMS AND GEMOLOGICAL SERVICES

RUSSELL AND JEFFCOAT REALTORS, INC. IS SPONSORING A TOY DRIVE FOR THE CHILDREN OF HAITI.  Many organizations are raising money and/or sending clothing items so we decided that the children might benefit from having a toy to play with while their country is being rebuilt. 
   The Chapin Branch of R&J is focusing on soccer balls and dolls but will take any toys.  The toys do not have to be new but we ask that they be in reasonably good condition.  We will be collecting until the end of February and the toys from all the 14 R&J offices will be delivered shortly afterwards.
   Drop off toys in the R&J Chapin Office Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5:30 or call me at 345-8300 and we will pick up the toys.  Thank you and I would love to see the entire Chapin Community get behind this excellent project.  Chip Daniels, Broker In Charge, Chapin Branch, Russell and Jeffcoat Realtors, Inc., 803-345-8300
