Skip the Gym: Realistic Resolutions for Galion Life

Let's be honest - those "get to the gym every day" resolutions rarely survive January. So, here are some fresh goal ideas you may actually find make more sense for life in our town.
Cut Your Energy Costs
High utility bills are a common complaint among Galionites, but you may be able to cut your heating bill by as much as 20% this winter through simple weatherization. With energy costs climbing, this resolution pays for itself.
Build a Safer Community
Join (or start) a neighborhood watch group. (There are already a couple of block watch and city watch pages on Facebook.) With only a couple of police cruisers typically on patrol, being an extra set of eyes helps everyone.
Support Local Growth
Shop local at least twice a month. Even small shifts in spending habits help keep our downtown alive. Start with one of the charming coffee shops for your morning brew instead of highway pit stops. Every dollar spent locally circulates about 3 times through our community.
Invest in Yourself
Learn one new skill at the Galion Public Library's free monthly workshops. From basic computer skills to genealogy research, they've got you covered. Plus, you'll meet neighbors who share your interests.
Grow Your Own
Start a victory garden this spring. With grocery prices still climbing, even a small vegetable patch can make a difference. The Galion Community Garden group offers free seeds and advice every Saturday morning.
