Wanted: More Good News
The Free Lance–Star received such positive response to “Some Good News,” we would like to continue the series of cheerful or inspiring stories from the community.

Please contact Cathy Dyson at cdyson@freelancestar.com
Have you found that it really is better to give than to receive?
Research shows that altruism can have benefits for the one doing the giving. I'm working on a story about science behind generosity and how people can reap the benefits of giving even when they are low on money. If you have a story to share, I'd love to hear from you!
Please contact Brynn Boyer at bboyer@freelancestar.com (phone: 540/374-5000 x5779)
