This is one of the times of year that we reflect on the things for which we are grateful. For most of us, our health is right at the top of the list. It is also a season for giving and an opportunity to contribute something meaningful in the battle against a big problem. A while back I paraphrased former UN Ambassador Samantha Power who when confronted with a problem that is so large her reaction is what can she possibly do to solve it, says, “Surely I can do something.” A lot of us feel that way about the Coronavirus Pandemic, but in this season of giving there is definitely one thing we can all do; give blood. It will make a difference and you’ll leave the experience feeling good and probably even with a bag of cookies. You can learn everything you need to know at this link: https://www.redcross.org/give-blood.html. I’ve set up team Winderlea Vineyard and Winery on the Red Cross app. Join if you like and let’s see how many people we can help together. We wish you and all your loved ones a safe, healthy and joyous holiday season.”-Bill Sweat, Winegrower
