This is a time to take a break from the cooking (and eating), the shopping (and more shopping), and the parties…to enjoy time with family and friends. To appreciate the people that mean the most to us and to tell them in whatever form or fashion suits you.

This year, in addition to my own family, I’m thankful for my new KSPS family and all of you who support us. Those of you who support us with your dollars, your time, watching our programs…you’re all important to us.

Here’s a story that illustrates some of this. A few weeks ago, the machine that sorts and inserts all the correspondence into all the mail we send out broke down. The problem was it happened the same day we had to get all of our renewal letters out…several thousand of them.  So… every member of our team dropped what they were doing and pitched in…then a half dozen of our loyal volunteers dropped what they were doing to come in to help. In the end, what could have taken most of a day to get done was done in just a few hours. It’s that kind of support that we count on every day.

Without you, all of you…we wouldn’t get to do what we do. But without our supporters and Friends, we couldn’t do what we do.

So to continue this season of giving thanks…Thank you for being our Friends. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and see you all in the New Year.
