Gratitude
Tonight, after reading about the horrible event in Nice, France, we attended the benefit for the Carson City Greenhouse. It was the Eighth Concert Under The Stars. Hundreds of us gathered to raise money for our Community Greenhouse, which produces healthy produce for our food banks, the High School Culinary Program, and supports programs for our youth, including the Future Farmers of America, and the special need program.
The music, provided by Tower of Power, brought us all to our feet to celebrate our community, and our lives here. As I looked at the hundreds of people in attendance, I saw something very powerful and positive.
We live in a uniquely safe and wonderful community. People care for one another and take pride in our ability to enjoy one another and come together to support the volunteer spirit that makes this town a real home. Thank you, Charlie and Karen Abowd and everyone else who made this evening possible. You are all lighting the darkness that sometimes seems overwhelming.
