The best thing about the holidays is that it puts most of us in a giving mood. The kettles are rattling for the Salvation Army and food is making its way into those red barrels in the grocery stores.

It's a good time to talk about giving that does good, not just during the holidays but all year round. A red flag went up in Grimes last week on just that topic.

Simply put, the Special Olympics isn't getting enough corporate giving to sustain it. Last week I stopped by their new offices to help Chuck Reed, who does marketing and media outreach for Special Olympics Iowa. He was looking for some tips as he was laying out their quarterly newsletter"
