GOOD NEWS!

It seems that the media are so often brimming with negative news, both locally and worldwide; I want to report some pleasant news.

I am a senior citizen who, through the generosity and concern of the Rotary Club, had much-needed and extensive repairs done to my home. As if this were not enough, I was invited to lunch on the day of the repairs, and on the same day, Mayor Fraim presented me with roses! Now isn't that good news?
