I just wanted to shoot you all a quick blog about charity this season. I was talking to Brian and I said I thought that it seemed like we were covering charity events almost every day now that the holiday season has rolled in. I think this is great and I can't think of another town I've been to that gives so much of itself (through volunteerism and through donations). Groups are giving toys and meals and time and it really is awesome to see.

Of course, now we just have to get this dedication throughout the year (not that we don't have people who volunteer all year long). Don't forget, giving shouldn't be a seasonal thing. Let's stop using the holidays as an excuse for charity and try to make it happen all the time. The organizations you give to are open all year round. And don't forget that Relay will continue it's campaign after the new year.

Thanks again though, for all of you who are helping out and going that extra mile to benefit those in need.
