    logo_givingangelsSedona AZ (January 19, 2017) – The Giving Angels has elected Lisa Long to head the 14-year-old organization as its President and Kariina Kelson as Treasurer. The two join Jan Taylor, who was re-elected to serve as Secretary. The three make up the 2017 Board of Directors of the 501(c)(3), which brings gift bags to independent, low-income seniors throughout the Verde Valley during the holidays.

    Long will replace Janice Dahl, who served as President of The Giving Angels for four years. Kelson will replace Jennifer White, who served as Treasurer for three years and on the Board for nine years.

    “I’m looking forward to being President of the Giving Angels because our seniors are so precious,” said Long. “They are rich with history, stories and wisdom.  We may not know how they got exactly where they are now, but I’m positive that each one, in their own way has given much.  Now it’s time for the younger generation to give to them.”

    Long is a native Arizonian, born in Prescott and has lived in Sedona over 20 years. She has been a “Big Sister” for 13 years to Cailean, now 21.

    Long owns a business consulting company, Yes I Can With A Plan, and helps Northern Arizona Hospice with marketing and community outreach.

    Kelson brings a wealth of self-employment experience to the Treasurer’s position, and has actively volunteered for the past two years wrapping and delivering gifts for The Giving Angels.

    “I believe in the mission of the Giving Angels,” Kelson said.  One year, I helped to wrap towel sets for the seniors.  This past year, 2016, I helped deliver the gift bags to the Christian Care facility in Cottonwood.  This was the most amazing experience for me, as the depth of gratitude that the recipients expressed was heart-warming.”

    Kelson is a licensed esthetician in Sedona, operating out of Oak Creek Hairstylists. She moved to Sedona in 2008 from Alaska where she lived for 30 years in Anchorage and Nome working as a self-employed court reporter and as a wells tech aide, drawing maps of oil wells. She became an esthetician while still in Alaska.

    Kelson has also volunteered for the Humane Society of Sedona as a dog-walker and in off-site adoption drives.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
