❄️ Winter Safety Tips to Help You Stay Steady ❄️
Cold weather is here, and a few small precautions can make a big difference in preventing slips and falls.

👣 Mind Your Step
Assume wet or shaded areas may be icy. Walk slowly, take short steps, and use handrails when available. Keep your hands free for balance.

🧹 Keep Walkways Clear
Make sure sidewalks, ramps, and driveways are free of clutter that could cause a trip or fall.

❄️ Clear Snow & Ice Early
Fresh snow is easier to manage than packed ice. Clearing it promptly helps reduce hazards.

🏠 Watch High-Risk Areas
Porches, steps, and sloped ramps are common fall zones—give them extra attention.

🚗 Travel with Care
If driving, slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and fully clear snow and ice from windows and roofs.

💡 Check Your Lighting
Good lighting matters! Make sure outdoor lights near doors, garages, and walkways are working and replace bulbs as needed.

💙 Stay safe, stay warm, and take it one step at a time this winter.

Merry Orthodox Christmas!

Did you know that the Orthodox Christmas follows a different calendar? Orthodox Christmas follows the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, resulting in Christmas being on a different date.

Many cultures and religions have different traditions on this date, with some participating in a 40 day fast, culminating in a vegan Holy Supper on Christmas Eve.

In Ethiopia, Orthodox Christmas, otherwise known as Genna, is a public holiday!

We want to know, what traditions do you participate in?

Kwanzaa is a week-long cultural celebration observed from December 26th – January 1st, honoring the heritage, unity, and culture of people of African descent.

This annual, non-religious celebration centers on African American values of family, community, and collective responsibility. Traditions include songs, dance, storytelling, poetry, drumming, and a festive communal feast called Karamu on December 31st.

Key symbols are displayed on a Mkeka (straw mat), including the Kinara with its seven candles (Mishumaa Saba), Mazao (crops), Muhindi (corn), Kikombe cha Umoja (unity cup), and Zawadi (gifts). The colors black, red, and green represent the people, their struggle, and hope for the future.

Hanukkah, beginning this year on December 14 and ending on Dec 22, offers a moment to honor the strength and perseverance that the holiday symbolizes. As the eight nights unfold, we’re reminded of how small acts of courage and unity can illuminate even the darkest moments.

We extend heartfelt wishes to all team members, partners, and community members celebrating. May this season bring you warmth, inspiration, and moments of connection. Chag Sameach—and may the light of Hanukkah shine bright for you and your loved ones.
