What
we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth
Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would
they call it Thanksgiving?

Matching Campaign was a
HUGE success!
The Community Foundation's first online
matching campaign last Friday was amazing! Our goal to raise
$25,000 in 25 hours in honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Community
Foundation was surpassed.
The generosity of our
donors was unbelievable and benefitted the endowments of 34 Grant County
non-profits/charities to the tune of $32,382.50!
This is simply outstanding! Thanks to all
who donated!
And, for those of you that still have
end-of-year giving plans to make, check out our website at www.comfdn.org to review our 250 charity choices and our easy
option for online giving.

Dear Savvy Living,
Where is the best place to find a senior-friendly home telephone with
big buttons and amplified sound? My 78-year-old mother has a
difficult time hearing over the phone anymore, and her vision isn't
so great either. What can you tell me?
