A Time for Choosing

Ronald Reagan: A Time for Choosing Speech, 1964 (Below is an excerpt from one of the finest speeches ever. It should be required reading!) You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done." http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1964reagan1.html

Folks ... Please help!

Meals on Wheels has unfulfilled Christmas wishes


Durham, N.C. — Meals on Wheels of Durham asked its more than 200 clients what one item they would like for Christmas, but the program did not receive enough donations to fulfill those requests.
Each client was told they could ask for something worth $20 or less. Many asked for basic necessities, such as underwear, shirts and socks.
"We ran a little bit short this year and are hoping we can fill some of the gaps for the clients (who) are in need of certain things," said Laura Todd, volunteer coordinator for Meals on Wheels. "We had some people asking for things like silverware because they use plastic (utensils)."
For many of the clients, the only visitors they have are Meals on Wheels volunteers.
