If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Jackie Ritter sends us a note about a special service I have never heard about:

Just a reminder on our "Room in the Inn" Program for the holidays.   We're offering hotel rooms at no cost to our guests coming to visit loved ones in area hospitals, nursing homes and treatment centers on Christmas Eve.

Tharaldson Lodging Company, which operates our hotel, began the "Room in the Inn" program in 1988.  With times as they are now in Michigan and across the country, we're trying to relieve some of the financial stress of having family in a care facility and by offering free rooms to those in need, we hope to make it a little easier for families to get together during the holidays.

If you happen to know of anyone who's in this circumstance, or need more information about our "Room in the Inn" program, please contact our General Manager, Rick Porco, or visit our Website for all of our locations at  http://www.tharaldson.com
