Priceless Memories?

By Misty L. Harris

I’ve never been good at throwing anything away. I have not reached ‘hoarder” level yet but I do have items that I consider my “collectables” that have increased in number over the past years. I also have never been good at giving things to the Goodwill. I always commit to the “spring cleaning” project  but there’s always something in the “give away” bag that I think I could make good use of (at least for one more year, right?).

Factoid Friday: Building Events

By Rebecca Howell

Time for another fun fact about WNED. We are always coming up with cool ways to use our building. One way is hosting special events such as Kid Fest and Antique Home Show. Kid Fest is an annual event which public TV characters welcome families into WNED’s studios for live performances and learning activities for children. WNED also holds an off-site character breakfast to entertain children in the Buffalo area.

WNED also holds an Antiques Home Show. The event, which will be held this year on Saturday, May 12, is a local version of the “Antiques Roadshow.” Here, you are given the opportunity to bring your antiques that are lying around at home and they will be evaluated by expert appraisers. Pretty cool!

Hope you enjoy your Friday!

Do Something for Nothing

By Suzanne Kashuba

What would you do for nothing?

Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give.”

Nearly 63 million American adults give of their time, volunteering for a cause they believe in, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service.
