June Letter from the Editor

As June swiftly makes its entrance, it’s important to realize that all actions, big or small, have impact. Whether donating your time to volunteer organizations or shopping with businesses that give back, what you do in your day to day can make a world’s difference. A lot of the work done by the organizations right here in Enid goes beyond the walls of their facilities. So, whether you’re adopting from an animal rescue or shopping at a non-profit, you might not realize everything that goes into play. For example, when you volunteer at an organization, you probably made a night and day difference in how much help and assistance they were able to offer that day. Or that nonprofit that you shop at; you might think of it as simply going and purchasing a new shirt for work, but behind the scenes your purchase turns into funding, which pours back into the community and allows for events and improvements. The nonprofits and organizations that give back here in Enid create an everyday kind of magic that can be supported by simply continuing to do what you do. So, whether deciding where to shop or debating what to do with your free time, think twice about what you do because it will have an impact. Making a difference isn’t always grand – sometimes the simple daily action of shopping can be what then funds an event and keeps an organization afloat for the next year, which is why you and what you do, matters.
