District K Friends,
 
November is a month of gratitude! As I reflect on that which I am grateful, my thoughts are of our kind District K partners, leaders and families. I am truly grateful for the members of our extended community. I am filled with joy as I witness the extreme generosity happening throughout our neighborhoods, with our non-profits and our faith-based organizations. We are only as strong as our most vulnerable constituents; so, thank you all for being your neighbor’s keeper.
 
I count my blessings every day for the simple pleasures and I’m looking forward to sharing some quality time this holiday with my friends and family. No matter what trial you may be facing, there is always, always something to be thankful for. The sooner we get started recognizing those good things, the sooner we’ll discover even more.
 
In service,
Martha
 
 

We Are Thankful for our
Community’s Kindness

 
What a joy to join with our community partners to ensure every family in our district will have a Thanksgiving meal to enjoy with their families. The District K Team joined New Faith Church, Ridgemont Community Improvement Association (CIA), Bee Busy Wellness Center and Riceville Mount Olive Church in distributing turkeys, hams and smiles! The Fountain of Praise Church also shared turkeys and fixings for delicious meals to families as well. We definitely have so much to be grateful for.
