Dear Readers,

This is a special call out from my friend and editor, Mark Pavilons, on behalf of his young daughter.

Whenever possible, she makes a trip to places in the world where chronic food shortage and famine and conflict are the norm. While most of us may wish we could go to these places to help, few of us have the initiative or the time or the passion to complete that journey.

Instead of fighting the Black Friday crowds, this may be a good seasonal alternative for gift giving. You can view Lexie’s Mission at this website.
