CARING MEMBERS HERE ON ACTIVERAIN

This day and age, everyone is in a rush and not many people stop to smell the roses or *truly* be there for someone else. Everyone is trying to make a buck make ends meet, and continue with the daily grind.

The members here on the Rain do not fall into this category though. Yesterday proved this... and it took my breath away.

As you may recall last Friday I had to put my beloved buddy, Rusty to sleep. He was with me for over 15 years, and it was *his* time. I didn't want him to go, but I couldn't be selfish either.

I wrote a blog about this "A Sad Farewell to a Dear Friend" and I want to take a moment to thank everyone that responded with heart felt comments. Thank you.

There is one ActiveRain member that I knew who would be touched by this story, but I didn't know she would touch me with her caring and sensitivity. Yesterday afternoon I received a floral delivery from Teresa Harris in Denver North Carolina. It was sent to me in memory of Rusty. She didn't have to do this, but went out of her way to let me know how she felt. Thank you Teresa.

valerie osterhoudt

If this is how she feels about members here on ActiveRain, and our pets; imagine how she treats her clients?

For members here in the Rain, you might want to check out here blogs... she has a wealth of knowledge about her area of the country... and has a wonderful way of blogging about activities and events going on. You might want to even subscribe to her blog.

For anyone reading this blog who lives in Lincoln County of North Carolina and is thinking about selling their home, or is thinking of moving here, I would recommend Teresa Harris highly. She is a Realtor that is above all others in this area in my book.

DAIRY QUEEN FUN NIGHT... MIDDLE SCHOOL FUNDRAISER, CROMWELL, CT

DAIRY QUEEN FUN NIGHT

Cromwell Middle School Fundraiser

Monday, April 6th

5:00pm to 8:00pm

There never seems to be a dull moment here in Cromwell CT when looking for something to do. Monday, April 6th will be no exception.

The Cromwell Middle School PTO provides much needed school supplies and computer technology, student scholarships, and sponsors school activities to the students of town. They are looking to keep this standard up, but need our help.

So, on the first Monday evening of every month... the Dairy Queen in the Expect Discount/KMart Plaza, will donate 10% of their net sales for the evening to the Cromwell Middle School PTO.

So, moms, dads and families, come on over and have dinner and dessert. At the same time you will be helping the CMS PTO and the students.

This event was held for the first time last month, but wouldn't you know that weekend we had the snow storm, and there wasn't much of a turn out. So, as far as I'm concerned, this coming Monday will be it's debut.

SEE YOU THERE!

Note: Sales were down on Monday. We were hit with snow the night before and not many people came out.. I'm hoping next month it will be the reverse...
