The second half of Thanksgiving is giving. I hope, if you’re in a position to do so, you will donate to a charitable cause of your choice this Giving Tuesday. And I especially hope you will remember all the animals who, for good or for ill, are subject to man’s whims. Wherever you decide to give, may it be to a cause that tries to make the world a better place, or a kinder one.

GivingTuesday Support Local Nonprofits
On #GivingTuesday, if you’re in a position to do so, don’t forget to lend a helping hand to hardworking charitable groups and non-profit organizations, those that make a difference in your community, enhance the quality of life, and actually do some good in the world. They need your money more than Amazon does. We’ve all got too much stuff anyway.
I stumbled across this video from a few years back of me interviewing Carol Burden, executive director of Trenton Music Makers, at the WWFM studios. It was the station’s custom for a time to invite representatives of local non-profits to come in on this day and tell us a bit about what they do. In between, I would program musical selections appropriate for the occasion and for the season, such as Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony, with its concluding hymn of gratitude and thanksgiving, and Alan Hovhaness’ Symphony No. 11, “All Men Are Brothers.”
Kind of ironic to note the station’s mission statement at the end, since so little of the programming has been local since the start of the pandemic.

Help Wildlife Rescue Support Our Animals
I hope if you can do something, you will. It doesn’t have to be for this particular organization, which happens to be Australia’s largest wildlife rescue, based in New South Wales. I’m sure there are plenty of other groups that can use your help. Thanks for whatever you can do.
