Thanksgiving For Those Without

Last night, I went to my monthly board meeting at Brother Francis Shelter, Anchorage’s largest shelter for the homeless.  With the single digit temperatures and winds of the last few days, it was packed, literally standing room only.   See http://www.adn.com/2011/11/16/2174962/homeless-pack-shelters-nearly.html.  Seeing those seeking shelter from the cold, it was clear that some had hit an unexpected bump in life’s road. A few (This always surprises me that it is only a few) had alcohol issues. 

            In this week of Thanksgiving, please consider helping those who need our help at https://www.cssalaska.org/donate.php.

           We all have to play our hand smartly.  See http://www.junelawyer.com/.  Some of us have harder cards.
