Dear Dan Ryan Builders Charitable Foundation,

Thanks for your generous support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association through the Harrisonburg Lockup. Your gift to the Association of $900 dated on 4/1/08 is very much appreciated, and will be put to the best possible use in the Association's research and health care services programs benefiting children and adults with neuromuscular diseases.

MDA has come a long way in research to stop muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy, myasthenia gravis and related neuromuscular diseases. One day, neuromuscular disorders will be among those diseases that have been conquered by the determination of scientific investigators and the generous support of the American public.

The central aims of MDA's research program in genetic neuromuscular diseases are to provide genes, proteins or cells that restore missing muscle or nerve proteins; block the synthesis of abnormal muscle or nerve proteins; and develop medications that compensate for missing or abnormal proteins and increase strength. Efforts in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are aimed at preserving nerve cells and understanding the process by which they die. And efforts in MDA's autoimmune disorders, such as myositis and myasthenia gravis, have as their goal the suppression of disease-causing activity by the immune system, with preservation of its normal
functions.

You're helping the Association continue its rapid progress in search of effective treatments for neuromuscular disorders. Until treatments are developed, your generous support will also help people with neuromuscular diseases in this area through MDA's comprehensive program of medical services coordinated through the Association's clinics at Children's National Medical Center and Georgetown University Medical Center.

Best wishes . . .

Sincerely,

Jill Steuter
District Director
MDA - Greater Washington

Prentiss Point II Singles

We are writing today to tell you how much we love our new home in Prentiss Point II Singles. When we first started looking we found the home of our dreams in Frederick Maryland. It had been several years since we had owned a home and we wanted it to be perfect. As soon as we saw the “Avalon” model we knew it was the house for us. The lay out and open floor plan that this house offered was incredible. We started to research pricing and quickly found out that the price of the homes in Frederick Maryland were beyond our budget. The following weekend we decided to venture out to see other communities that offered the “Avalon” model; First we went to Jefferson County and then into Berkeley County.

We met with Laurie at the Prentiss Point II community and she was so friendly, helpful and considerate of our wants and needs. Laurie showed us different lot and discussed the various options that were offered and allowed us to take our time when deciding on our home. We knew right away that this was where we wanted to build; Laurie made us feel so comfortable. Once we went to contract and the house was underway, we enjoyed coming each weekend to see the progress of our new home, but also to visit Laurie, it was our Sunday ritual for many weeks. As each week grew closer no matter what question or bump in the road we had – Laurie had the answer or would find out immediately what the answer was. We commend and appreciate her for that!

Since moving into our home on January 15th, it has been a dream come true for us. We love the Avalon, the amount of house we got for our money and the community. We thank “Laurie” for helping us through this process and we thank “Dan Ryan Builders” for building us such a well built, energy efficient home!!!! We thought so highly of your organization that we convinced our good friends to purchase a home in Prentiss Point II also. Thanks for making our dreams come true.

Sincerely,
John and Suzanne Clark – Martinsburg, WV

Laurie,

When you’ve waited as long as we have to take the plunge and buy a home, we pretty much approached the whole experience as a life altering event. Given that…

There were a million ways and a million points at which that event could have freaked us out. But YOU helped keep that from happening.

We went back and forth – looking at homes in Virginia and west Virginia, but we always kept coming back to Prentiss Point Singles II (PPSII). And there were two reasons:

1. We trusted and enjoyed working with you.
2. We believe we received the tremendous value for our money.

We love our new home and I’d be happy to tell that to anyone who wants to ask questions about our community or would like to see the inside of the Sugar Maple. But give me notice so I can tidy up!

Thanks again for all your help.

Rose and Tom Heuring

Quality Homes by Dan Ryan Builders

I am writing this based on my experience with Dan Ryan builders over the past year. Dan Ryan Builders has clearly distinguished themselves by their legacy of service and high-quality construction.

If there is ever an issue you will come to expect the responsive and prompt professional service that is often overlooked or even disregarded by many builders in today's market.

I have been in the building industry for four years. I'm proud to admit that many of the quality products I sell are in all the Dan Ryan Builders' Homes. With that being said, Dan Ryan Builders does not cut any corners and truly provides a value added home.

Thanks again,
