Dear Neighbors:
It’s a time of year for reflection. While my review follows, please consider commenting about your year.

This past year has forced me to think about all that for which I am grateful–life in general when so many people have died; a job and food for sustenance when so many people lost their jobs, and don’t have money to buy food; a roof over my head; clothing to keep me warm; friends and family; and my Bible to comfort and inspire me.
Also, you have brought smiles to my face when I see you comment on some of my Facebook posts. I love that you care.

The Women’s Club of Lebanon awarded $12,000 in grants on Dec. 5 to four local nonprofit organizations that are caring for people who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the virtual presentation event, Jo Ellen Litz, Women’s Club president, said the organization had initially planned to award $10,000 in grants, but the board agreed to increase the amount to $12,000. Lebanon Valley Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) and Lebanon Rescue Mission each received a $5,000 grant. The Caring Cupboard and Jonestown Outreach PantrY (JOY) each received a $1,000 grant.
“The need [for healthcare services] is great with COVID-19. The grant will touch so many people in our community,” said Dr. Victoria (Vicki) Brown, a physician at VIM.
