Last week I asked readers about their New Year’s Resolutions. I wanted to know if any of our readers still make New Year’s resolutions – and if they do, if they wouldn’t mind sharing some of what they hope for the new year coming.

Here is one of the responses I received:

“To answer your question on the front page of the December 26 newspaper, ''Do you make a NewYear's resolution?'' This question made me realize that when I was young it was a very present custom.

Now that I'm 81, I realize that this custom seems to have died out.

Their project supports the USO-San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston. During the season, or at least December through March, volunteers get together with stocking templates and get to sewing the stockings.

They have a couple of different templates and set up an assembly line. There are cutters and sewers along the line, and then those that tidy up the edges making sure it’s a nice, finished product. Many participants don’t return until after January 1.

Winter Ranch xmas 09 USE PAGE 1 Close Up webWinter Ranch RV Resort is spreading the joy of Christmas to ARISE Adelante, which they have done for many years. This year, they collected more than enough to fill 280 stockings for young children, and 20 stockings for infants.

Tables in the rec room were filled with the items park residents had donated. Donations included coloring books, crayons, toothbrushes, toothpaste, barbies, snacks, ramen noodles, toys, hats, and stuffies.

20241218 Mission Bell Advent USE webMission Bell/Trade Winds RV Resort for the second year in a row hosted a reverse Advent food drive. People in the parks gathered food based on an Advent food calendar. The idea started with a Facebook article that DaLeen Markel saw and shared with fellow resorter Rick Anderson.

Last year was a success, and this year was just as successful, or even more so, with over 1,200 pounds of food collected on Saturday morning, December 14. This could not have happened without the people of the parks opening their hearts to be able to give back to people who might now have a better Christmas. The food was donated to the local food bank, located within the First Global Methodist Church.

Rick Anderson, the organizer for this event for the second year would like to thank all the people who helped gather the food and deliver the items to the food bank, as well as the people who donated the food items. Rick hopes that this continues next year, even bigger and better.
