Council History MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE It has been over ten years you have read my stories about our little council of success; stories about our council and its members in the many happenings. Each year we have seen a special with our families and friends and the changes of our families as they grow and move on to lives their lives. We can be proud of the examples we have set to show others what can be done to help our community. Charity is found in many ways, like the simple thank you we give to the special needs people that help take care of our hall. The turkey dinner for them and their families is a special event for special people; the many parties that show the joy of and the support of Christianity. Remember to make a special effort to give someone a special that may need some help. A kind word and a little help at a time it maybe least expected. Giving is what is all about. This is the time of the birth of Christ remember.take your family to church together and enjoy each other, this is so important you will see. Make this a year that we spend special with God as we have never done before. Remember to put the crib set in your yard or a decoration that expresses the birth of Christ, yes, it is CHRISTMAS not Just another holiday. Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS from our family to yours.
