<P class=MsoBodyText style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma>On
February 22, at downtown Decatur’s historic Avon Theatre, the Friends of St.
Mary’s Hospital Foundation presents a movie premiere of “THE ULTIMATE GIFT”
starring James Garner, Brian Dennehy and Abigail Breslin (from Little Miss
Sunshine). The movie, adapted from the book of the same name, is about
Jason, a trust-fund baby, who anticipates a big inheritance when his grandfather
dies. Instead, he is given twelve tasks – or “gifts” – designed to
challenge him in improbable ways, sending him on a journey of self-discovery and
forcing him to determine what is most important in life, money or
happiness.</FONT></STRONG></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">The movie will go into wide release on March 9, but
through a special arrangement, St. Mary’s Hospital is able to bring it to
Decatur prior to release. The event is a thank you for our current donors,
but those interested in attending may do so for a $100 donation to the Friends
of St. Mary’s Foundation. That will allow the donor and a guest to attend
the premiere of the movie at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, February, with an hors
d’oeuvre reception preceding the movie in the City Plaza lower atrium, 410 N.
Water St.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></P>
