Saturday the Rotarians were out in force at Hobby Lobby and Walmart Neighborhood store ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. It was a day where members laughed, smiled and passed along the words Merry Christmas to those who went about their shopping. It’s surprising how generous our community is and another reminder of how blessed we are. It’s a great time of the year to celebrate the Lord’s birth and to make people smile. It’s sometimes the little things you do that make big differences to those you meet. Continue being kind to everyone you meet, you will make a difference. Thanks to all!!
