Tonight I am working on a very large sewing project. But do not let me lead you to believe I am a sewer! I am an “I can make it last until the next time we go to Grandma’s house” sewer. This particular project is Monkey #2’s blankie.

Monday, February 1st, 2010 by Kaleena & Matt Fong
My wife and I have been surprised with the number of small (and large) groups and organizations that fundraise in Hastings. From hospitals and colleges to churches and support groups, there never seems to be shortage of places to send our money.

Service with a Smile?
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 by Jill Kimle

Making a Difference In Hastings
Friday, January 15th, 2010 by Russanne Erickson
I like the sense of community that I feel living here. I don’t have a lot of money to give to things that I am passionate it about, but I have time and energy, so I like to give that instead. I like Hastings because I feel like I can make a difference here.

Size Does Matter
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 by Andy Herrmann
Four weeks ago, my life changed forever. As I shoveled snow off my deck that afternoon, I knew the moment of glorious transformation was imminent. I had replayed it in my mind at least a thousand times already, but this would be the moment that those dreams would morph into sweet reality.
