							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

			 To the editor:For many 
			people, the holiday season is a time to give back to the community 
			by volunteering or donating to organizations that support those in 
			need. It’s a time of year when we feel called to serve others. 
			 
			But there are many individuals who heed that call year-round. This 
			Thanksgiving, instead of gathering with family and friends, they 
			will spend the day caring for the sick and injured, keeping us safe 
			and meeting our basic needs. They will sacrifice time with their own 
			loved ones to ensure the well-being of the entire community.

            Please join me in thanking everyone who will spend 
			the holidays in service to others – not only the healthcare 
			professionals staffing our hospitals and clinics, but also our local 
			first responders, essential workers across all industries and 
			military personnel stationed around the world. Thank you for your 
			commitment to service.
