Leap year offers Feb. 29 to us all as an extra day’s time and income every four years.
Given the needs of society and our natural world we’d like to encourage folk to consider giving just one of their extra 24 hours, in time or salary. Sometime over this leap year then, when it best fits your convenience or pocketbook, why not contribute a little something of yourself to the community or charitable organization of your choice.
If we all give just a little, especially such a small part of this free day the world has given so generously to us, then we’re going to add up to making a big difference in our communities and society.
And businesses might want to similarly ponder how they might give a little extra as well.
Happy Leap Year, everyone.
