Many witnessed through their TVs as rioters committed what President-elect Joe Biden called an assault on the citadel of liberty.

Despite logistical and financial setbacks brought about by COVID-19, the Sierra Vista Rotary Club has had a busy six months of service.
Dec. 14 capped the first six months of giving with donations to Toys for Tots. The toys donated by members of the club were supplemented by the toys collected from the Sierra Vista Rotary Evening Satellite Club and from $500 worth of toys donated by Grasshopper Landscaping. When Darrel Claunch of the Thunder Mountain Detachment 1283 Marine Corps League showed up to collect the toys, he was given a resounding round of applause before a parade of members assisted him in carrying all the donated toys to his truck.
