Divisional Headquarters in Phoenix has notifi ed me that we will not be reopening for July but possibly sometime in August. There will be changes with acceptance of donations and shopping procedures as well. Details as they become available will be posted on Facebook Chatter and our Salvation Army Thrift Store Group and Page sites. I understand your disappointment and appreciate your understanding. Our Pause for Daily Prayer has been so very much received. I do com- municate your comments to the Offi cers in Phoenix. I have asked that these biblical proverbs and daily prayers can continue. We all have a past. We all made choices that maybe weren't the best ones. None of us are completely innocent, but we all get a fresh start every- day to be a better person than we were yesterday. Be the someone who makes someone else look forward to tomorrow. As for me, I choose to see the good in people, my heart is full. I have love for all. Be happy.
