Valentine’s Day is most likely to come to mind when we start the month of February. Putting our hearts, heads, and energies into working for what is best for our families, our community and our country calls on us to be the best we can be. Pulled as we are in many directions, it can be all too easy for legislation we deplore to slide right by. ERWF can alert us to many of these measures. Then it’s up to us to take the next step and stand up to be counted—call, email, fax, or write elected officials and let your convictions be known. It could help to make a difference
and, even if it does not, there’s a lot to be said for knowing we were not part of that dismal silent majority.
In January your generous support of the Food for People program with donations of canned and plastic containers of much needed foods was a great boost. We are repeating contributions this month - please put your hearts into the effort.
