Welcome...

We decided to start this blog in part because we get sent so much information on worthy causes, and yet, being an advertiser supported magazine, there is only so much free editorial we can run.

I learned at a very young age, that even one person has the ability to make a difference in one life, or in many. We each leave finger prints or ripples of our presence in all we meet... sometimes it's noticible, sometimes it's hard to see... but we all matter and we all Make a Difference.

I hope you will find useful information on how you can reach out and touch someone's life in a positive way... maybe in time; maybe in gifts (monetary or item donations); or just in spreading the word about a fundraiser or benefit... You CAN make a difference.... Pass it on.
