Nominate people with warm hearts by tomorrow

The Jordan Independent is looking for people about whom to write in its annual “warm hearts” features.

Identifying a warm heart is simple – they are the people who help out someone else. They are our neighbors, fellow church members, youth coaches, firefighters, parent volunteers, or dear friends.


December 8, 2006 - 11:42am
Heartwarming neighbors

The Jordan Independent is looking for people to feature as "warm hearts" this year. Michael Pieper, who has shoveled or snow blown the driveway owned by his neighbors, the Sheehans, for years, was the subject of a warm hearts feature last year. Warm heats are simply people who help out someone else. They are our neighbors, fellow church members, youth coaches, fire fighters, parent volunteers, or good friends. To nominate a warm heart, call the JI office at 952-492-2224 or e-mail editor@jordannews.com. You can also suggest warm hearts in a forum on this site by visiting www.jordannews.com/node/976.
