to Dixie D. from Spencer

When I got Dixie, it didn't take much thought to what I should do for my service.  For as long as I have known her, Dixie is constantly so cheerful and friendly always brightening up the room.  This year I tried to make an extra effort to include others in group activities and meet new people then befriend them.  Because of this, I now know and is friends with thirty-nine people I probably wouldn't have made an effort to reach out to. Most are from school, others from work.  Some of these people now that I know them, I wonder how I ever lived without their awesome personalities and their sense of humors.  With meeting each new person I always make sure to get their birthday, favorite hobbies, and other interests so that I can truly know them.  To be honest, usually I would rather just stick to my friends that I already had and "random people" would always annoy me.  But with this service in honor of Dixie I now know; with a little time to get to know them you can befriend most people.  I will try to continue this service and meet new people and reach out to others.
