Hi guys --
Since we've been talking about charities, I just thought I'd pass along a message that we covered in our newspaper recently and that is an important issue:
It's wonderful to send checks to the relief organizations for New York, D.C., and etc., but while you're at it, please don't forget your local food banks, women's shelters, homeless shelters, animal shelters and other charities you might usually support. The shelves at our local food bank, for instance, have been running nearly empty. In these difficult times we can't forget the folks closest to us who need
support as well. So if you have the resources and there's a charity near you that you usually support, please remember them too.
