For some, the ultimate objective this time of year is getting a plastic pumpkin full of candy. Yet for me, my cousins, and my friends, we looked forward to one thing—my mom’s homemade popcorn balls.
Not having much in the way of funds to buy candy, my mom invested her time and love in creating a delicacy that folks craved this time of year. Over the years, my family would bring their kids and grandkids over for Halloween where my mom always had popcorn balls for everyone as long as she was physically able.
In the coming days, I suspect most of you will be involved in celebrating Halloween, taking your kids to Trunk or Treats, or visiting neighbors for their sugar high. To me, this time of year is both a reminder of our past (when we dressed up and participated) and our future (seeing the young folks having fun).
Life is full of wonderful gifts, including a bank that believes in the communities it serves. The best gifts we give are of our own time and effort.
