From the Editor's Desk: Tri City Health Partnership in St. Charles offers services for those that fall into gap
Not too long ago, I was introducing myself to the community, but now I’ve had the joy of an introduction to the Tri City Health Partnership.

Although to tell the truth, it wasn’t as green as I expected that first day because Dublin and the rest of Ireland had experienced a substantial snowfall, something the Irish aren’t used to. No, this is not a permanent change of… → Read More
From the Editor's Desk: Random Acts really do Matter
I recently was impressed when I ventured out to Blue Goose Market (not only by the grocery store that admittedly is quite nice) but by the community effort from a Random Acts Matter group composed of baseball players who congregated there to help people by bagging and carrying their groceries. I know I wasn’t able to focus on all the good that was done during the Random Acts of Kindness week,… → Read More
