Student fundraisers and events recognized at Clearview Board of Education meeting

At last week’s Clearview Regional High School District Board of Education meeting, members of the Student Council spoke on recent school activities, fundraisers and events, while the board received feedback on a recent audit. Senior Luis Becerra-Solis of Clearview’s Student Council Education Committee spoke at the Nov. 30 meeting on various school happenings that took place throughout the month, such as homecoming, Mr. Clearview and the Powder Puff Football Game. David McNally, senior manager of Holman Frenia Allison, P.C., presented an audit report for the year ending June 30, with no recommendations after review.

A place for peace and comfort during the holiday season

While the holiday season is often a time of joy and happiness for most, sometimes it can be a time of difficulty for those facing loss in their lives. For those in need of peace and comfort, Trinity United Methodist Church welcomes the community to “Blue Christmas,” a supportive service being held at 6 p.m. on Dec. 13. According to Assistant Pastor Paul Melson, the church began hosting the service five years ago as a way to offer love and consolation for those facing challenges during the Christmas season.

Women in Service of Him to fulfill holiday wish lists for children in need

With the help of Women in Service of Him, a group of members and non-members based out of Trinity United Methodist Church, more than 2,000 children in need will receive toys through the Holiday Gift Project, organized by the Center For Family Services this Christmas season. As the holidays near, WISH offered to contribute to the Center For Family Services’ Holiday Gift Project by buying gifts for children in need, as well as donating time to organizing and sorting the gifts collected throughout the weekend of Dec. 16, as well as during the week leading up to Christmas. According to Werner, the group has received commitment from more than 100 volunteers and has purchased more than 80 gifts for the cause.
