Do you or someone you know have a special love story that you’d like to share with our readers? Perhaps you have found the key to longevity in a marriage or had an over-the-top proposal presented by (or to!) your mate. Or, maybe you broke tradition on your wedding day by wearing a red wedding dress or tying the knot on a ship at sea. Whatever your story, we’d love to hear about it. Contact Brenda Ward at 507-645-1134 or bward@i35targetmedia.com.

By engaging with the community in which you live through service and giving, you will be happier, healthier and live longer, says Candy Taylor, executive director of 5th Bridge in Northfield, an organization that encourages the habits of volunteerism and philanthropy.

Taylor’s statement is not simply opinion, but fact, according to several studies linking improved mental and physical health to giving of one’s time and resources.

If that’s the case, the people of Northfield — a town with a volunteer base that exceeds the national average — may find themselves topping the list for age longevity as well, in part thanks to the efforts of Taylor and 5th Bridge.
