*Yrr, <br />.i,. <br />C!- <br />2 0 0 7• I N <br />November 2007 <br />Dear Fellow South Bender, <br />S O U <br />On behalf of the planners of City Celebration, a joint effort of the Historic'Preservation <br />Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County and the Office of the Mayor of South <br />Bend, I wish to invite you to participate in our next event! Our tenth in a total of eleven <br />events throughout 2007, our November event is Thanks and Giving. Like all City <br />Celebration events, Thanks and Giving is scheduled for the 29th of the month; thus <br />November 29, 2007. <br />The inspiration in planning City Celebration was to feature our many community <br />treasures, educational opportunities, and our shared local history in our dynamic home <br />town of South Bend. Thanks and Giving is unique on our calendar in that it is not <br />specifically an event per se. Instead, Thanks and Giving is intended to be a celebration <br />of the generosity of the people of South Bend. On November 29th, to both usher in the <br />holiday season and to demonstrate the kind and giving spirit of South Bend, citizens are <br />encouraged to do a good deed, share a kind word with a neighbor, volunteer some time to <br />a cause or organization that's important to them, or show, appreciation for a good deed <br />done previously with a thank you note; most importantly involve the whole family in <br />whatever you choose to do. Children can paint pictures for nursing home residents, help <br />to bake cookies for delivery to the nearest fire house, or choose the toys that your family <br />donates to a local shelter or agency. Organizations, scout troops and neighborhood <br />associations can plan activities together! It is not the size of the gift or gesture, but the <br />gesture itself that matters. <br />If you'd like additional ideas or suggestions, please visit the website of our partner: <br />www.makeadifferencemichiana.com. Their website can put you in contact with <br />organizations that need your time and assistance, and may also inspire you to take on a <br />project or good deed of your very own! Thank you for making the time to celebrate <br />Thanks and Giving with all of your friends and neighbors here in South Bend. <br />Best wishes for happy holidays! <br />V: <br />City Celebration 2007 <br />574-235-9798 F: 574-235-9578 <br />
