CHESTERTOWN — Car after car pulled into the Chestertown’s YMCA parking lot last week as guests arrived for the annual seniors Health & Wellness Expo sponsored by the local HomePorts
A SWEET initiative is being encouraged to show appreciation for key workers on Valentine s Day with cupcakes. Mum Rebecca Clements wants people to use small bakeries and cake makers to gift make treats for staff at care homes, the Great Western Hospital, emergency services and school as a way of thanking them for their efforts over the past year. She explained: “Since the start of the pandemic, so many key workers here in the town have gone above and beyond, working extremely hard in very difficult circumstances to keep us all safe, and often making personal sacrifices. “It has badly affected so many local businesses here in the town with cancelled orders and lost income, so I thought that it would be a nice idea to show our thanks and appreciation for all of our local heroes and also support our small local businesses at the same time by ordering from them.
