Manners Matter Every once in a while, I get a request from someone in the community to write about something that matters to them. For one community member, manners matter. In particular, thank you cards and RSVP's. According to her experience, both are rarely used anymore and are sorely missed. How many of you sent out thank you notes after receiving holiday gifts? When you were invited to all of the holiday gatherings, did you let the host know if you would be there or did you simply leave them hanging, not knowing how much food they should prepare or how many places to set for dinner? What's worse, did you say you would be there, get too busy, and not show up? Or worse still, did you let them know at the very last second what your plans were? If you did go, did you think to bring a hostess gift? Do you even know what a hostess gift is? Manners matter. Being gracious shows character and should be taught in childhood. Children tend to adopt the morals and values they learn as children in their adult life. My girls wrote thank you cards for every occasion as they grew up, when they graduated, I told them I expected them to continue the practice as adults. If they don't, its on them, not me. It doesn't take much time at all to write a small, heartfelt thank you note to someone who went out of their way to give you a gift. Keep various boxes of thank you and blank note cards at home for you and your children to use. If you blew you off. The fact is, none of them knew that they are of the crafty variety, weren't the only ones you can even make note who didn't show up. To cards on your own or with them it was a small thing your children.

Molino Star Chapter #83, Order of the Eastern Star, decided not to have a gift exchange at Christmas this year. Instead they brought preschool books to give to the Los Molinos State Preschool. There was such an overwhelming response they were able to not only donate books to the Los Molinos State Preschool but also to the Gerber State Preschool. Each child was able to take a book home to keep. In keeping with the Worthy Matron's theme of "Making a Difference" this year, Molino Star will be hosting a Pancake Breakfast on March 16 at the Los Molinos Masonic Family Center, to benefit the Friends of the Los Molinos Public Library. Be sure and put this on your calendar. More information about this community event will be coming soon. 90 years How to submit items ago...
