I met a reader today. We do not know one another very well at all but there we were at a lovely holiday gathering. Thank you for reading, thank you for saying so and thank you for giving me today's blog topic!
Denison- this reader likes coming up the hill, appreciates the insights and invitation. Thank you reader and all those in the community that engages. This year more than ever we welcome you. Help us fill the halls and stands, please attend concerts, shows, games and lectures.

PIES- I promised to email about Sally raising money for Granville High School's Girls Basketball Team. This is an important fundraiser tied to an additional effort. The pie profits support the Girls program- they bond and learn important lessons on the court. Clare played all four years and it is one of the reasons she left Granville ready for Wooster. The current teams are awesome- impressive, fun, great young women are on that floor. We love seeing the success and growth. Thanks Coaches for all you do. Join us: schedule here: https://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/granville-blue-aces-(granville,oh)/girls-basketball/schedule.htm Back to Pies.
1st- if you want a pie- let me know. Sally will call you. Nine types of pie offered- two apple! They will be delivered on the 20th of December. You can buy a pie to donate to the Salvation Army. Pies are $13 each and checks made out to: Granville Athletic Boosters. They are made fresh and can be frozen! So the new effort? Just like the Boys team, the Girls team will now cover the costs of student tickets to home games! Want to sponsor this effort- have your name announced at the home games- let me or Coach Steele know. I will be asking and finding the money to make this happen. Thank you to those already interested. Thank you for supporting the energy and providing opportunities for students to cheer on these teams and be together at school!
Life on Newark-Granville Road- never dull! Am I never not asking for money? Probably not- I love philanthropy, I love giving, I love helping others give and support important worthwhile causes. We are all asked to give all the time, even I get tired of it. But we get to choose where we give, where we say yes. I like the bakery analogy. You go to a bakery weekly to buy a bagel. The bakery doesn't expect you to buy a cookie or cake every visit. What the bakery hopes is you will return regularly and when you do have a special occasion or sweet tooth- you will get the cake and/or cookie! I see philanthropy as this so today in my life on Newark-Granville Road I'm offering pies and free tickets for students to the Girls GHS Basketball games! Thanks for thinking about it.
