ARE:A Renewal Enterprise

WHICH LENS ARE YOU LOOKING THROUGH?

There is general agreement that one of the best movies of this year is Frost/Nixon, the story of David Frost’s series of interviews with disgraced ex-president Richard Nixon. Because the end of this movie is no surprise it is safe to say that we can share with you one key moment in the film without ruining it for those of you who have yet to see it (which you should consider doing).

The Joy of Giving

This post comes at a time when many of you are giving gifts to friends and family for Christmas, Hanukah, or some other occasions. But for the team at A.R.E. it is also a chance to encourage you to think about how your giving makes a difference beyond your immediate circle of family and friends. We want to encourage you to give to causes that touch your heart and further your passions for the world around us. Here’s a list of the places that A.R.E. is giving ten percent of our proceeds this year.

Building a Team (the right way)

Like many of us this time of year, shopping for gifts for friends and family was a mandatory project. My first stop was a major chain electronics store that is closing just three months after it opened (it was not a good experience and will not be named here!). After getting a poor response from the person at the cash register, I left without even buying the one thing I intended to get – deciding the hassle wasn’t worth the savings and that I would rather give a few dollars more to someone else if necessary. I was willing to look elsewhere to get what I wanted.
