It is time to say "thanks" to people who do good in our little part of the world.

So from time to time, I hope to praise local people who take time out to do good in our community. If you know someone like that, let me know here at Y101 and we will give them a big pat on the back for what they do everyday.

We have good people in our area who care about how the city looks, or lets someone know about a kind word being said, or just provide pats on the back to make others feel better. With us being in the dead of winter, it is sometimes hard to keep a smile on our faces. But if we can just say a kind word, or help someone with taking groceries to someone in need, all of us would be a little better off.

Here is an example. Twelve members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity recently took the time to do some painting of a home in Canton, Missouri. Twelve brothers spent nearly three hours painting the siding, window frames and gutters of a two story home. They took the time to give back to the community. That is all it takes to put a smile on a face or to help people in need.

If you hear of something like that, let us know here at Y101 and we will spread the word.
