A Holiday to Remember
From Author:
Season’s Greetings from my family to yours. Instead of my usual dedication I would like to take the time to
point out some important issues to me. In this time when the world is in so much need and no one has much
to give we must remember every little bit helps. Each and every one of us has the ability to make a difference
in this world. Sometimes it really is the thought that counts; such as making the smart choice to become an
organ donor.
There are a growing number of African Americans in need of Organ transplants along with others, but we
are the least likely to be donors. Do not be afraid of what you don’t understand. I know I was. Now that
I’m educated I’ve decided to make a difference. Educate yourself on how a simple “yes” can save the lives of
countless others, including someone you love. For more information about this serious matter and to leave
your mark in this world, check out MODEP, Minority Organ Donation Education Program, at
http://modep.buffalo.edu/index.htm
The holidays should be a happy time for one all. It’s like a confirmation that we survived another year of life
so let’s get together and have a party from October 31
st
through January 1
st
! Just remember there is a new
year of life to look forward to and a new year of parties but the only way to assure you will live to see another
one is to be diligent. Don’t drink and drive and don’t let those you know or don’t know do the same. Be a
real friend; don’t let your pals over drink or participate in foolish drinking games. We are losing many of our
budding youths to alcohol poisoning and just because you aren’t hearing about it, doesn’t mean it’s not
happing. Drink smart or be like me and say, “No, thank you. I don’t drink”. It gets easier every time you
say it and those who really care about you will not force the issue. You don’t need booze to have a good time;
being with your friends should be the only high you need to have fun. If it’s not, maybe you need new friends.
Even if it has never happened to you or someone you love, it could. Don’t wait. Others need help now, and
you can do your part. With your donations to MADD, Mothers Against Drunk Driving you can give a
gift of life, love, hope and healing, possibility and prevention. With your help, funding is now available for
programs that save lives and prevent injuries every day across our country. MADD also provides much-
needed Victims Services for those who have experienced the pain and devastation of crashes due to drunk
drivers. You can make smart choices. Don’t drink and drive and help those who would help you if needed.
