Saturday is “Make a Difference Day.” This day is celebrated nationally on the 4th Saturday of October.

Here’s a few simple things we can do to make a difference:
• Call someone you haven’t talked to in a while
• If you’re out shopping, smile to that person walking by you
• Express thank you to a police officer or military veteran.

Thanks to all our Homemakers who have done things this week to "Make a Difference" and especially all the donations for our chosen charity "The Baby Closet."
