The Perfect Present

It’s often difficult to happen upon just the right present for someone, isn’t it?
It can be hard enough finding a gift for a relation, a helpful neighbour, or the friend who seems to have everything he or she could possibly need. But when the Pacific Steel and Recycling Company (www.pacific-recycling.com) in Montana decided they wanted to give something to their community, it must have seemed a formidable task.
However, they rose to the challenge and came up with the wonderful idea of funding their local museum of art to allow visitors free entry for a year. This was a gesture that delighted both the community and those involved with the museum—they knew it would be the perfect chance to nurture understanding and appreciation of the arts.
Now that’s what I call the perfect present. [The Friendship Book 2009]
