This issue of SBND Community Newsletter is dedicated to those who are making a difference or putting forth an effort to solve social, environmental and economic ills that are plaguing our nation and other countries around the world.

Stop, reflect and ask yourself, "What can I do to help heal the pain of terror in all of its forms:  

I think so.  Many are speaking out in various ways according to their belief systems and resources.  Following are articles from only a few so called "little people" in the community and others with larger platforms that are doing something.

In today's world, placing "mission over profit" seems paramount as a driving force behind decisions that may impact others.

Thank you for making a difference...

As a result of recent reports of tragedy all over the news, Sam says it may seem difficult for many to celebrate this holiday season. 

But Sam, affectionately known as "The Lasagna Lady" knows personally 

there is life past the WHY when tragedy or life happens.

On Thursday, December 17, 2015 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm, Sam invites you to attend her Private Book Signing Press Reception.  Those who register and attend will receive a FREE copy of her book, "Life Through Lasagna Eyes:  The Recipes for Life." 

The book unveils  strategies for healing  the hurt caused by gun violence imposed on our families, friends and neighbors. 

She says, " My story is bundled with hope to uplift everyone to soar in the face of tragedy and heartbreak to finding their passion; no matter what."

In support of gun violence prevention and SBND community enterprise capacity building initiatives, click here to learn more, register and attend.

Good food, good company and good holiday cheer.
