TWO COMMUNITIES – ONE TOWN
Sunday, December 30th, 2007 The Good Samaritan Center and the city of Tripp combined their talents to host the first annual bazaar on Saturday, December 15th. The bazaar was a treat for the Christmas season. There were 15 vendors from Tripp, Delmont, and Armour, along with residents of the nursing home who presented their wares.
The money paid by vendors for a table and all the money raised that day went to the nursing home residents for their Christmas gifts and personal items. Harvey Wormsbecher entertained the residents and patrons by playing his accordion.
The day was successful in bringing two different communities from one town together. It gave the residents an opportunity to share precious time with people outside of the nursing home. It also was a great opportunity for the people from the outside to come in and visit with the residents and view the new assisted living facilities.
Christmas is indeed the season of sharing.

Check out this idea from Presho!
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 I found this idea on Presho’s blog site. I copied it to our site for you to read and ponder if this would be an idea for Tripp to try out.
The idea behind the “Change Presho” campaign is to ask folks to donate to a community project the change they receive from local businesses. For example, your bill at Husman’s could be $23.12. If you wrote your check for $24, it would be easier to balance your account and you could donate 88 cents to a community project. I think we would all be surprised how much money we could raise this way for really very little effort or expense on any one person. What could a community project be - maybe some possibilities would be trees in the boulevards, community signs, the community resource booklet, there are many ideas that could be pursued. “Thank you Presho for letting me copy the idea to our blog site.”
If you are interested in this idea, let a Horizons member know. Better yet, come participate in a meeting and share more ideas for our community.
