NEW BETHLEHEM, Pa. (RVO) by Lynne Tharan – This has been a tough year, and continues to be so.  Christmas is approaching, and it will be such a different time this year.  Many of us will not be able to share it with family or friends.

This started me thinking that even though we are restricted some, what about those in nursing homes who cannot have visits from family and loved ones?

SO……..I’d like to ask a favor of everyone who reads this. Would you please address one Christmas card to someone who may not have Christmas at all or see their family? Clarview Nursing Home as well as Edgewood Heights has given me the go-ahead to start a campaign to have Christmas cards sent to their residents who may not have family or a Christmas at all.

Can you address a card to “A Resident at Clarview”, 14663 Rt. 68, Sligo, PA 16255? Cards can also be sent to “A Resident at Edgewood Heights”, 612 Keck Avenue, New Bethlehem PA 16242. One card to make someone smile this Christmas?  I’m calling it “Send One More Christmas Card”, and hope to see many, many Christmas cards find their way to the rooms of men and women residing at Clarview and Edgewood Heights.

Please spread the word and share this article.  We can make their Christmas a bit brighter…and thank you.
