Grant for Seattle Central College Food Pantry Approved

December 23, 2020

The University Sunrise Rotary Club has applied for a $750 urgent needs grant to help fund the Seattle Central College Food Pantry. This is a program that the College uses to help students in need deal with food needs. There is an uptick in need at the Food Pantry due to both the increased needs of students and the increased difficulty of supplying food during the pandemic.

The grant was part of Rotary District 5030 Urgent Needs program and it has been approved. The funds should be received by our Club’s Foundation shortly and allocated to the Food Pantry thereafter.

Apology Letter To Spouse – PRICELESS!

Hi Sweetheart,

I am sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the Christmas lights.  I guess that sometimes I feel like you are pushing me too hard when you want something.  I realize that I was wrong and I am apologizing for being such a hard-headed guy.  All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday season.  Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights!  I took the time to hang the lights for you today; and now I will be off to the hockey rink.

Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday.  I’ll be home later.

Love you……

Hi Honey,
 
Thank you for that heart-felt apology.  I don’t often get an apology from you, and I truly appreciate it.  I, too, felt bad about the argument and wanted to apologize.  I realize that I can sometimes be a little pushy.  I will try to respect your feelings from now on.  Thank you for taking the time to hang the Christmas lights for me.  It really means a lot.  In the spirit of giving, I washed your truck for you; and now I am off to the mall.

I love you too!
