This time of year a lot of organizations are sponsoring food drives, toy drives and looking for new or gently used coats. I fully support these efforts and encourage everyone to do whatever thing — big or small — they can to make someone else’s life a little brighter this season. And I was pleased to see Zia record store, among all the usual suspects, is one of those businesses who are participating by collecting donations of new or used toys and coats. Awesome!
