Dear Editor-

The holidays are upon us and it is the time of giving. The giving of gifts, the giving of time, the giving of goodwill…and most importantly, the giving of thanks. 

As a volunteer, I want to thank every person who has supported the American Heart Association | American Stroke Association. Perhaps it’s a donation, attending a Heart Walk, championing a healthy change or supporting your child in a Jump Rope For Heart program. No matter how you’ve shown support, I want you to know that you have made a difference.

The Friday after Thanksgiving is reported to be the busiest shopping day of the year. Please see the below safety tips.  

Before You Go

• Fill up your gas tank. Make sure you’re not running low on gas in case it takes time to find parking or to get out of the parking lot. Or, in case you get delayed by winter weather conditions.
• Decide how you’ll pay. If possible, carry only credit cards, and make photocopies so that you’ll have the account number and customer service phone number if your wallet is lost or stolen. If it\’s practical, carry just one card.

When the 102 Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Rock in the fall of 1620, they were greeted by a New World filled with uncertainty, turmoil, and harsh conditions. Only half of the original settlers survived the first year, but despite the hardships faced, the Pilgrims still made it a point to spend time at the end of their first harvest with family and their community to feast and be thankful.

We would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU to the sponsors, coaches, volunteers and others that invest their time, money and effort into our community\’s youth to make the Gloucester City Youth Soccer League the success it is. This past season was an amazing one and I\’m sure we cannot begin to digest the amount of time, planning and organization that goes into such an organization. From our family to each of yours: THANK YOU for all that you do.
