The Humanist Community by Noris Binet. Many believe that we are again
living through a historic moment that reaffirms the belief that humanism is not only essential but inevitable if we want to find ways to compel organizations to respond effectively to the real needs of communities. When work practices, implementation of programs and jobs look beyond just basic needs and address the “total human” as a core concern, then there arises an opportunity for communities to move forward and lead their own destiny.

A stray turkey bone could be a choking hazard and even a piece of tinsel could be life threatening. The good news is once you know what the hazards are, you can easily keep your pets safe and sound for the holidays. See page 3.
