Giving back for the holidays.
December 19th, 2007 by Kathleen Cotter
We decided to adopt a family for the holidays through St. Luke’s Community House, a fabulous organization (and past Emma 25 honoree!) that provides a wide variety of social services for the West Nashville community. Everybody chipped in to help, and we were able to give our family some fun stuff, like a tea party set and Lightning McQueen race car, as well as some practical stuff, like winter coats and bedding. Not that winter coats aren’t fun. Just don’t try and race a parka.
Anyhoo, a big thanks to St. Luke’s for giving us the opportunity to give back. Between the bake sale to raise money, the present wrapping bonanza and the many shopping trips, we had a great time doing some good. To find out ways you can get involved with St. Luke’s, visit their website or sign up for their email newsletter (powered by Emma, of course).

Hi Emma Folks —
Like your site and am now just checking out your blog.
Suggestion: your image on this post is huge, like 1.5meg. You might want to downsample as it slowing down your page.
Best wishes –

Thanks for the suggestion (and the kind words), Alan. We’ll get to work resizing the image. Best wishes for you in ‘08 as well.

This is a good thing. I have done a pen and ink illustration which says, “Wise People Plant Trees Under Whose Shade They Know They Shall Never Sit.”
You can check it out on my website.
