Sunday is 9/21, United Nations International Day of Peace. We will not be hosting a formal celebration this year but would like to encourage each and everyone of us to make a special effort to do something kind on Sunday. Maybe clean out a closet and take clothing to a shelter or clean out your pantry and donate to a food bank. You could visit a nursing home or walk dogs at your local shelter. Use your imagination. Kindness is one of the first steps to peace. HAPPY PEACE DAY TO ALL!
