Thank you to Teresa & News Staff for all of your coverage of Holiday events. Thanks to your newsletters, I myself went to no less than 3 events with great fun, food & hand-crafted gifts to purchase like the beautiful mini knit scarves I got at a church event that came with a story. (Someone tracked down the knitting pattern for said scarves, tracing it back to The World War 2 period.) The newsletters play such a vital role in our communities, I hope as many people as possible can donate to keeping them alive & thriving in the coming year. Meanwhile Happy Holidays to everyone on Teresa’s staff.
