Columbus Days Volunteers Needed!

is a community wide event filled
with music and activities for the
whole family! Volunteers are
an important part of making this
event a success. Help is

great opportunity for clubs and
teens to get involved. If you
would like to help with clean up
after the parade or find out more

In
Korea, there is a legend about a
native warrior who died and went to
heaven. "Before I enter," he said to
the gatekeeper, "I would like you to
take me on a tour of hell." The
gatekeeper found a guide to take the
warrior to hell. When they got
there, the warrior was astonished to
see a great table piled high with
every tasty food he could imagine -
anything one could possibly want to
eat or drink. The warrior then
looked at the people. They were all
starving. "How could this be?" he
asked the guide. "Are they not
allowed to eat?" "Oh yes, they can
eat," said the guide "but they must
use the chopsticks they are given.
They are five feet long and they
must hold them at the end. Just look
at them. They miss their mouths
every time!" "Enough," said the
warrior, "This is hell, indeed!
Please take me back to heaven."
In heaven, to his surprise, he saw a
similar room, with a similar table
loaded with all the same food. But,
the people were in radiant health,
happy and well-nourished. The
warrior turned to the guide and
said, "I see - no chopsticks here."
The guide replied that yes, the
people were still issued chopsticks
and yes, they were still five feet
long and that they still must be
held at the end - but, the
difference was that in heaven the
people learned to feed each other.
