Merry Christmas to our loyal readers

This year has surely been one that none of us will ever forget. Thank you to the wonderful people of the Alle-Kiski Valley who have organized fundraisers and contributed to food, toy and clothing drives to benefit our neighbors in need.

The Valley is a great place to live and work. We surely live in a community where people are willing to give from their hearts to make the world a better place for those around them.

Peace and joy to you and your family – Carol Pinto-Smith
