To the editor,
After getting my two COVID shots and booster, I thought it would be great to go door-to-door without anyone asking such questions as “should I disinfect the door knob or the bell you just touched?”
When it comes to raising money for charity, you do not stop because of COVID there are people counting on you to raise money for these worthwhile causes.
For the past 11 years I have been raising money for the Grey/Bruce and Huron County Alzheimer Societies. When I complete my “Walk for Alzheimer’s” in May, I hope to reach the $100,000 mark, which I never thought to be possible.
At this time, I have to give credit where credit is due: that is, the local newspapers.
I grew up in Kinloss Township and attended Lucknow District High School. All we could afford was the basics in life, which included a local newspaper. There was local news, good and bad, of course. While the editors no doubt took some heat at times, they realized local news is always good news. My wife and I subscribe to local papers and I must congratulate the editors, as well as the many reporters who promote all local fundraisers. I cannot thank all of you enough, except to say sure I went door-to-door and collected this money but it was the local newspapers that encouraged everyone to give to charity. And they did just that.
The people of Grey, Bruce and Huron counties never stop giving.
May God bless everyone as you open your wallets and give.
