Happy Holidays

With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner most people are thinking of others rather than themselves or at least they should be. Thanksgiving was always the time of year we thought of the homeless and the hungry people of the world. Whether their situation was forced upon them or happened by chance or maybe they just live in a third world country. I remember the food drives we had back in school, you wouldn't think at that age how much it could help but every little bit counts.

That's why its important we get together and head over to Scores by Nov 21 and donate some canned goods for those less fortunate. Cans for Cans is Scores West in Chelsea's way of giving thanks, with at least one can of food your admission is free. The cans will be donated to City Harvest, a charity that distributes food to more than a quarter million hungry New Yorkers weekly. Other City Harvest donors include MSG and the IRS. So please try your best to get some cans together and head out to scores over the next week or so and make yourself happy by trading in some cans for some cans. I'm sure the girls will be grateful.

Also in the spirit of giving are Shelton, Conn.'s very own Joseph and Judy Rivnyak. Since they have lived on Soundview Ave for 32 years they have been the owners of a 60 year old Norway spruce. Planted in 1947 by the homes original owner the Norway spruce stands 84 feet tall was cut down with a handsaw yesterday and is being prepared to make its way to Rockefeller Center where it will stand as this years Christmas tree. This years tree lighting ceremony will be held on November 28th.

So lets all start getting into the spirit and enjoy the holidays.

You can always be a prick next year.
