Since were all stuck at home and can’t go off on vacation, I thought I’d let y’all reread about one of our past trips. This is one of Janet’s old articles. She wrote this about a vacation we took to Cabo San Lucas about 13 or 14 years ago. Enjoy.

As the Wuhan Virus seems to be playing out, with fewer infections, fewer deaths, and fewer hospitalizations in most places, the United States and other nations begin to resume normal operations. There will be fits and starts, and the same governors and government officials who made arbitrary and capricious decisions based on inaccurate or incomplete information to shut down their economies are likely to make arbitrary and capricious decisions in opening them back up. Residents of Pennsylvania can take a perverse kind of pride in knowing that our Governor has been one of the most arbitrary and capricious ones out there, but even he is acknowledging that eventually, business and other activities might resume. A unique opportunity to support the emerging needs of hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic is a click away. Protect the Heroes is a national initiative to raise desperately needed money for critical hospital resources, including hundreds of millions of masks and other materials for the physicians, nurses, and caregivers who are treating coronavirus patients and are at greater risk due to a nationwide shortage of PPE. Applications for those wishing to participate in the 2021 Outstanding Young Woman program are now available from their individual area high school contacts and online at www.bradfordsullivanoyw.com/apply. Applications may also be requested through the organization’s Facebook page, “Bradford-Sullivan Co. OYW.” Young women who are currently in the junior class, are U.S. Citizens, and attend high school or reside in a school district within Bradford or Sullivan Counties, are eligible to participate. Although the timing of the preliminary evaluations is currently uncertain, applicants should make their interest known by submitting the form by mail as soon as possible.
The Outstanding Young Woman program is an experience that aids young women in developing skills and talents that will benefit them in their future, as well as providing cash scholarships totaling over $11,000. The program date remains set for September 26, 2020, with the preliminary evaluation date to be announced. No girl may enter the fall program without first completing the spring preliminary selection process. Preliminaries consist of a five minute interview, one or more performing arts presentations of their choice, and evaluations of a shortened aerobics and fitness routine, and a presence and presentation routine. Scholarship and achievement is based upon GPA and community and school activities. After finalists are chosen, they are invited to attend summer activities and a day-long get together rehearsal to become acquainted. Rehearsals are held on Sunday afternoons in September, culminating with a weekend dress rehearsal and on-stage program. Questions about the program can be directed to Cynthia Young, Board Chairperson, 265-3834, Bonnie Fulkerson, Program Chairperson, 265-6318 and Becky Basse, Spring Co-Chairperson, 265-5866.

Joseph Scopelliti, MD, Guthrie President and CEO said, “The COVID-19 pandemic will have financial consequences for our hospitals. To address the needs of patients and caregivers impacted by COVID-19, and to support emerging areas of greatest need, Guthrie has set up an Emergency Response Fund for those who may be interested in providing immediate resources to be deployed for this and future emergencies. A donation to Guthrie’s Emergency Response Fund, through the Protect the Heroes campaign, ensures all of Guthrie’s facilities have the supplies they need to treat the communities we serve during these unprecedented times.” “We created Protect the Heroes so that if you just have $1 to spare, you can make a difference at this critical time for the hospital that serves you and your family. Donations are going directly to give the hospital workers in your community the support that they desperately need,” said The Creative Coalition CEO Robin Bronk. “The Creative Coalition is honored to launch #ProtectTheHeroes with the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy and the American Hospital Association to help our frontline hospital workers win the fight against coronavirus.” Guthrie is a non-profit integrated health system located in north central Pennsylvania and upstate New York, serving patients from a twelve-county service area.
