It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our new corporate offices at Bethany Riverview. As I sit at my desk, I have a beautiful view of one of the Bethany Riverview courtyards all decorated with sparkly Christmas lights and coloured ornaments hung by Christmas elves for residents and staff to enjoy. Christmas trees have sprung up in the hallways and garlands have been hung with care. For me, Christmas is my favourite time of year. It is the season of cold, snow, love, laughter and most of all giving.
The Christmas spirit of giving is overflowing at Bethany! The Corporate and Housing teams are Adopting a Family within our Riverview Village housing community and spreading some joy to a very deserving family who are facing their first Christmas without their dad and husband. The teams are also conducting a Food Drive to support our Housing tenants at Riverview Village. At Bethany Riverview, stunning Christmas trees have been donated and decorated in the Rotary Atrium – a true gift for our residents and families to enjoy this holiday season.
Giving is an important part of life…at least, it should be. Give and you shall receive is most definitely true but giving is much more than receiving. When you discover that giving is better than receiving, you’re well on your way to truly living a life of purpose and worth. These small acts of giving within our own community exemplify our mission of Creating Caring Communities and I am so proud to belong to this community of caring and kindness.
