The Season of Giving
By Joseph E. Nyre, Ph. D. on December 15, 2009
It is the season of giving, and I want to offer my thanks to all those who have helped make this season bright for the Children of Hope. This includes organizations like the Rochester Lion’s Club, which each year visits campus to hold a Holiday Party for our children, those who sponsor a child from the Hope Angel Tree, and our many generous donors who support efforts to bring safety, joy and growth to all our children.
During this time, we also try to teach our children the importance of giving to others. As I was leaving campus last night, a group of students was going into the gym to wrap presents for others. Our senior students have visited nursing homes and served at St. John’s Breadline to help spread holiday cheer. It is nice to know that those who have received so much also understand how to give to others.
