It saddens me to say this but I must admit, I don't recall hearing about "Make A Difference Day". Besides working through an organization, such as the American Red Cross, Diabetes Assoc., or United Way, does Columbus/Deleware have smaller, or neighborhood type of organizations that look for volunteers? Please accept my heartfelt thanks. I hope others will follow your example! If we, as a society, did a little something nice for someone else daily, the world would be a better place to live.

I could probably send 50 cards myself. Let me know if you want them and what address I should send them to. Keep up the good work.
