Here's a holiday message from executive director, Michael McGill:
With the holidays upon us and our families drawing near, we look with anticipation to the time that we share with mother, father, brother, child, or even a new grandchild. We worry about finding the right gift to bring a smile or a laugh, and we try to gather up enough ideas and money to carry us through all of the festivities of the season. But as we spend our energy decorating and planning, and stretch our money as far as possible—with part going to food and some to presents and so on—we must also be careful how we spend that other holiday resource . . . our time.
Our time is precious, and how we use it becomes very important—maybe most important. Time spent with friends and family is such a valuable part the holidays. It is the giving of something personal to you, your time. So get together and go sledding, play a board game, or go sing for your neighbors, but spend it doing things together. Give it the proper place in your holiday because, before you turn around, it’s over.
Hopefully it’s time well spent and remembered for a long, long, time.Our time is precious, and how we use it becomes very important—maybe most important.

When money is scarce, spend time. It’s worth more.
