Our readers are grateful to these Charlotters
In November, we asked our readers to make Gifts of Gratitude, and to tell us about someone who makes a difference in their lives or in the Charlotte community. We received 20 responses which are listed here. It’s an extraordinary group of kind and generous friends and neighbors, just a few of the many people who make this special place the home that we love.
Bill and Nina Regan. Only recently moved here, helping out in so many ways including inclusivity, trails, All Souls, the paper.
Bill Fraser-Harris. He brings music and community celebration to the beach each summer.
Colleen Boyce. I’m grateful for her warm, big, open heart.
Dan and Jenny Cole. For holding and sharing so much historic knowledge about Charlotte.
David Waller. Lifelong friend.

If you enjoy The Charlotte News, please consider making a donation. Your gift will help us produce more stories like this. The majority of our budget comes from charitable contributions. Your gift helps sustain The Charlotte News, keeping it a free service for everyone in town. Thank you.
