An alum posted this for Thanksgiving, and it's a good reminder for all...
I remember being broke for Christmas one year after food shopping and paying the bills and wrote a post dated check to make sure I could provide a good Christmas for my family. I’ve lived as high and as low as it’s possible to go. There were times I was able to put $10 worth of gas in my tank and other times $50. I’ve had $5 to just feed myself and I’ve also had $200 to go out to eat. I’ve had a house full of food and times I didn’t have any. I’ve been in stores cashing out with no worries and I’ve also had to add it up and put things back on the shelf. I’ve paid my bills in full and I’ve had to pay them late too. I’ve given money and I too have had to ask for it.
We all have highs and lows in life. Some certainly more than others, but we are all just trying to make it.
No one is better than anyone else and my heart is sad for those people who think that they are. No matter how big your house is, how new your car is, or how much money sits in your bank account - we all bleed red and will eventually fade from this earth. Death has no discrimination, and neither should your life.
Be kind to others. We are all here to serve. Stop the power- tripping. An oversized ego won’t get you anywhere. Be humble. And keep faith going. 🙏

Here's the heads-up for what we mentioned last year at Christmas.... You can watch Pope Francis lead Christmas Eve Mass from St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome from 11:30pm - 1am on your local NBC station. It is aired here as midnight mass, previously recorded, since Rome will be hosting live Christmas morning masses with the time difference. Please enjoy then, or set your DVR to record and watch in the morning! Peace, prayers and joy to all, for the Lord is come!! ✝️🛐 📖🎶🎵🔔🎺🌠

What a great idea! From the Charlton Police Dept via Julianne Kaczynski Sharratt '75

If you are ever lost while hiking, get stranded with a broken down car, etc... and you notice your cell phone is low on juice, here is a tip that very well may save your life.

First if you have no service, try calling 911. Federal Law requires the nearest cell phone carrier to transmit your call. If your battery is low, try changing the voicemail on your phone to a message that gives your approximate location, the time, the date, your situation (i.e. lost, out of gas, car broken down, injured, etc...) and any special instructions such as you are staying with the car, you are walking toward a town, and so on.

The best part of this is that even if your cell phone dies or stops working, voicemail still works. So anyone calling your phone looking for you will hear the message and know where to find you or where to send help.
