Christmas Magic!

There is a beautiful thing that happens this time of year.... people are just.... happier I suppose. We as a community have our hearts pointed towards others a bit more and are willing to step in and lend a hand. Countless volunteers are donating their time to organizations and causes they believe in and know do good work in ths community. At the United Way we are wrapping up our  campaign period and reflecting on the year of generousity exhibited by so many community partners. With each new year we look toward allocating those funds to diverse programs that do so much good here in Powell River, but for now we step back and say "thank-you." We give our thanksgiving knowing that tomorrow, a neighbour will be assisted with a need that must be filled, another smile will be shared with someone who was having a rough day, and that another dollar will be given in gratitude for the blessings poured out in such abundance. Let us embody the spirit of the season and, as the saying goes here in United Way, let us not forget to "Give. Volunteer. Act." Best wishes for a happy and safe season.
