18 SOLERA DIAMOND VALLEY | JANUARY 2022 By Theresa Rossetti, Resident For 2022, we're switching it up a bit. Instead of the Pet of the Month you might have come to expect, we're throwing the task to all of you. Want to see your pup or kitty, feathered friend or (ick!) reptile BFF in The View? Submit a photo or two, tell us a bit about them (or not, no pressure) to our Editor-in-Chief (email found on page 2) and wait to see if we surprise you with them throughout the year. By Linda Weiss Resident The Definition of Kindness: The quality of being friendly, generous and considerate. What Is Kindness: 1. The sympathetic knack of observing the emotions of others and responding thoughtfully. 2. The instinctive ability to tend to the needs of others. 3. The awareness of humanity's desire to make meaningful connections with one another. 4. The blending of our needs and desires with others in a mutually beneficial manner. Synonyms: Altruism, Benevolence, Compassion, Open- heartedness, Philanthropy (love of mankind), Solicitousness, Sympathy, Understanding. Can we all be kinder to one another? Kindness is free and it will not only make the receiver feel better, you will feel better also. By Clare Mendez, Resident At the November 11th Veterans Day Luncheon the Club donated $2,000 to the Hemet Food Pantry and received a "Diamond Status" brick on their Wall of Honor. Solera residents also donated three minivans full of food to the pantry which was delivered on November 21. Jim Lineberger, Executive Director of the pantry, thanks you all for supporting the men, women, and children in this valley. The pantry is located at 191 S. Columbia St, Hemet.
