A single happy smile can always brighten up the day for anyone who happens to be passing by your way. And a little bit of thoughtfulness that shows someone you care creates a ray of sunshine for both of you to share. Yes, every time you offer someone a helping hand, every time you show a friend you understand, every time you have a kind and gentle word to give, you help someone to find the beauty in this precious life we live. For happiness brings happiness and loving ways bring love, and giving is the treasure that contentment is made of. -Author Unknown- MANY VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR THE ANNUAL EGG HUNT AND 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION IF INTERESTED CALL CITY HALL 355-2511 NEED HELP TO CARRY ON TRADITION!!
