To the editor:
This season is so festive for so many reasons: Almost everyone is happy to see fresh snow falling, we have all just had an opportunity to give thanks for the bounties in our lives, no matter how large or how small, and as we near the end of the year, we are all given at least one moment for reflection.
Here is what we are reflecting on right now. The staff and volunteers at the Keweenaw Family Resource Center have much to be grateful for this year. In taking the risk to start the Tree House Indoor Playground, we have stretched as an organization. In stretching, we have gotten to know so many more wonderful individuals and businesses that have offered their support to us.
Right now we are particularly grateful for all those who donated items for our silent auction as well as those who came out to bid on the 90 baskets. Specifically, we give thanks to the following donors: Emily Lancour-Tastefully Simple products, The Bike Shop, Chris Alquist and the Portage Lake District Library, Angela Poulos, Kay O'Connor-Hairsmiths, Copper Country Chiropractic, Julie Markham, Sounds and Motion, Good Times Music, Pilgrim River Steak House, Joey's Seafood, Silver Rae Studio, Susan Donnelly, Sew Irresistible, Rhythm Skate Shop, Down Wind Sports, Cross Country Sports, Joe Kirkish, and Angela Campioni. Thank you. For all those still shopping for presents, please shop locally.
If you drive by the Tree House's future site in Red Ridge Plaza in Houghton, you'll notice newspaper on the windows.
Many wonderful surprises are coming to life behind those windows. We look forward to 2010, when we hope to make more friends and watch the Tree House teem with the laughter and running and curiosity of the children of the Keweenaw.
Until then, we wish all good health, laughter and much play every day.
