- FACILITY Calgary - now in it's 26th year - every Tuesday morning - getting better, growing our audience, offering 'things you want to know' to people who want to know it
A message from FACILITYCalgary publisher Mark Kolke.
We are pleased to celebrate our relationship with iGIFTsight - a Calgary-based Canadian charity with a Canada-wide mission; if you've not heard about iGIFTsight, we urge you to invest a few moments of your time - click on a link to the site. You'll learn there is an unmet need for vision service in our communities. Getting eye exams, treatment, glasses and other corrective actions is something most of us take for granted as something we have funds or a benefit program, or that services are available where we live. This is made worse when families are already stretched so very far. If you can help, please consider helping in any that you can.
For information regarding iGIFTsight:
- donations and planned giving arrangments for iGIFTsight - contact: Mark Kolke: mark.kolke@igiftsight.ca

QUOTES
+ A philosopher can spend a month, a year or a career thinking about one knotty problem. Making assertions, testing theories, understanding how others are thinking about it as well. But this exercise shouldn’t be reserved for academics. What are you working on? When will you change your mind? What can you learn, what can you challenge? It’s better when we’re on the cusp. ~ Seth Godin
