From the East-
As this wonderful holiday season approaches, let us remember our call to serve those less fortunate than we are. Through service our star will shine even brighter. Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year!!

"Somehow, not only for Christmas but all the year through,
The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you;
And the more you spend in blessing the poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing returns to make you glad."
- John Greenleaf Whittier
