Legacy Employees Knock Socks off Giving Goal

Legacy Health has far surpassed its goal of collecting 10,000 pairs of new socks to help those in need in local communities. In fact, the final tally of the early winter employee sock drive is 30,613 pairs of new socks, triple the company-wide goal of 10,000 pairs of new socks. It means thousands of homeless or struggling individuals in the Portland-Vancouver region will have warmer feet during this wet, cold winter.

Here is southwest Washington, Legacy Salmon Creek brought in 3,742 pairs, tripling its goal of 1,250.

Wrappin’ with your Posse

In 1997, Santa’s Posse was created as a way of contributing back to our community and to help less fortunate families in our community during the holiday season. What started with delivery of food, gifts and personal care items to 43 families has now expanded to 800. Santa’s Posse now provides Christmas for over 2,400 children here locally.

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with Rotary Clubs of Clark County, Kiewit Construction, Fire District 6 and Kindercare Learning Centers, deliver the gift baskets in an effort to increase positive contacts between law enforcement officers and families. Gift baskets are delivered prior to Christmas.

But before all that can happen, they need to get a wrappin’. Can you help?

Happy Money Hits barre3 Felida

Cozy up with a good book… and great company. Join barre3 Vancouver/Felida and connect over conversation about this month’s book: Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton.

Happy Money is a fascinating look at the true meaning of joy, something that seems especially important during this time of year (it’s also surprisingly funny with anecdotes and witty asides). The authors have studied happiness for many years, and found that while material things often give us an initial rush of joy, the pleasure we get from experiences is more authentic and lasts longer. In some ways it sounds counter-intuitive, or at least impractical.
