Good deeds...

I came across this quote this morning - "It is nice to be important, but more important to be nice". I do not know the original author of this quote, but it gave me some food for thought. Being nice means doing good deeds; our actions must demonstrate fairness, justice and equity. I am sure we would all agree that our lives would be much better if only people with such traits end up in positions of leadership in our community.

Talking about good deeds, I just want to put in a quick plug for Loudoun Community Free Clinic on Cornwall Street in Leesburg. This organization is dedicated to assisting the vulnerable in our community. The clinic is staffed by health professionals and other volunteers from the community who help out at no cost to the clinic.

As you might expect for an organization involved in charitable work, they depend on gifts from the community, so any help you and I can render would go a long way. Every good deed, no matter how small from you and I makes our community a much better place. The county of our dreams is within reach, the journey begins now.
