Earlier today: The sun is shining and there is a slight wind…a glorious day for Give Hastings Day! It is quiet at the Lark, so now is an excellent time to come down and make a gift to support your favorite community assets! I hope you will join me in supporting the organizations important to you!

It may be a bit busier now, but consider all of the good work done in our community and the value of its not for profits. Don't have a favorite NFP? Then choose "support them all". Be generous, because the tide rises all boats evenly.
