OB's Got Character!
November's Character Word of the Month at OB is Generosity. Generosity is a willingness to give, to share of one’s time and/or resources, without an expectation that the gift or act will be returned. Consider being generous with your time and resources this month by volunteering at/ donating items to OB's Giving Assembly! Any amount of time/resources donated are equally appreciated!
