A Special Holiday Message

The holidays can heighten feelings of loneliness—for both younger and older members of our communities.

If someone comes to mind who may be on their own, a small gesture can mean a great deal—a thoughtful note, a simple call, an invitation to join you, or a practical offer of help. And, for something that’s sure to bring joy, you can also share the number for Peptoc (707.873.7862), a hotline featuring pre-recorded words of encouragement from students at West Side Elementary, a K–6 public school in Healdsburg, CA. It is truly uplifting.

Wishing you a warm and peaceful holiday season, and a bright new year ahead. With gratitude.
