It goes without saying that this is the time of year when we give more than ever. Whether it is giving your time, giving money to charitable organizations or simply giving a hug to one in need; we are compelled to give.

I was informed today that a blood drive has been organized by Chelsea Johnson and is being held at Jefferson High School this Friday. Please consider giving your time and blood for a worthy cause. Consider it an early Christmas gift. Dave, alone, has received 40-50 pints of blood in the last 21 months. Without donations, that would have not been possible. It is the most precious gift that one could give another – the gift of life.
