 Keep Their Lights On Over the Holidays: Flagler Cares, the social service non-profit celebrating its 10th anniversary, is marking the occasion with a fund-raiser to “Keep the Holiday Lights On” by encouraging people to sponsor one or more struggling household’s electric bill for a month over the Christmas season. Each sponsorship amounts to $100 donation, with every cent going toward payment of a local power bill. See the donation page here. Every time another household is sponsored, a light goes on on top of a house at Flagler Cares’ fundraising page. The goal of the fun-raiser, which Flagler Cares would happily exceed, is to support at least 100 families (10 households for each of the 10 years that Flagler Cares has been in existence). Flagler Cares will start taking applications for the utility fund later this month. Because of its existing programs, the organization already has procedures in place to vet people for this type of assistance, ensuring that only the needy quality. |
Notably: One of the more memorable moments of the Olympics was Celine Dion singing Piaf, a song of particular force and lyricism written by marguerite Monnot (the Beirut street where I used to catch the bus to my bane when I was in elementary school–le Petit College, that house of Jesuit horrors–was called Rue Monot, with one n). I thought playing it at the Olympics was original. It turners out to have been sung at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, played in 2021, by Milet, in Japanese. Piaf still can’t be beat.

Quote:
The blue sky above us may collapse
And the earth may well crumble
It doesn’t matter to me, if you love me
I don’t care about the whole world
As long as love floods my mornings
As long as my body trembles under your hands
I don’t care about the problems
My love, since you love me
I would go to the ends of the earth
I would dye my hair blonde
If you asked me to
I would reach for the moon
I would steal a fortune
If you asked me to
I would renounce my homeland
I would renounce my friends
If you asked me to
They can laugh at me
I would do anything
If you asked me to
If one day life tears you away from me
If you die, far from me
It doesn’t matter, if you love me
Because I would die too
We will have eternity for us
In the blue of all immensity
In the sky, no more problems
My love, do you think we love each other?
God unites those who love each other
–Lyrics by Marguerite Monnot, sang by Edith Piaf, 1949.
