Thanks so much to all of the wonderful Ann Arbor area families and citizens who helped Homefront Hugs and our vet and families this holiday season. You are all heroes too, and this is the best community anyone could ever choose to live in as we all manage to reach out to one another for so many worthy causes throughout the year...and remember it does take a village. It is what keeps the soul of Ann Arbor vibrant and strong, and what is so beautiful is when we involve our children in giving back a well, whatever the cause. "Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness." Seneca Roman Philosopher Thank you Ann Arbor and AnnArbor.com for helping us get the word out. Happy New Year !
