November 2023 The holiday season is the time from Thanksgiving until the New Year. This includes many festivals, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and more. This is a period of renewal and an opportunity for personal connections with family and friends. We get to focus on core values of love, joy, and kindness. Wear a smile. It’s contagious. Be at peace, even though our world is unstable. Give the gift of compassion. Make a personal effort to leave your struggles behind. I almost forgot! The best part this epoch is all the special foods we use to celebrate. All men are our brothers! Be happy! Have fun! Enjoy! ~Frankie Brunson, President
