Thanksgiving is not the only time to acknowledge the blessings in our life or to express gratitude. As we move into the holiday season, consider the power of the magic words "thank you."

In this deceptively simple 3-minute talk, Dr. Laura Trice muses on the power of the magic words "thank you" -- to deepen a friendship, to repair a bond, to make sure another person knows what they mean to you. Try it.

A Giving Garden found its perfect home at the Ithaca Children's Garden. The ICG is a one-of-a-kind, hands-on space where children and adults can interact with nature.

At the TEDxChemungRiver 2016 event, participants partook in the creation of 20 Giving Gardens, which were distributed to 20 local organizations and businesses that make a positive difference in their respective communities.

Over the following weeks, we will highlight those institutions that are so deserving of this small token of appreciation for all that they contribute to their communities.

Our first Giving Garden was graciously accepted by the National Soaring Museum in Elmira. The museum, located in the "Soaring Capital of America," provides educational enrichment in history and science for children and families alike. On behalf of the TEDxChemungRiver team and event participants, we would like to extend a warm congratulations to the National Soaring Museum.
