During this festive season, let us not forget those in our community who are less fortunate. Te Toys for Tots, Salvation Army Angel Tree, Shop with a Cop and other programs need our support to ensure a brighter holiday. Please take a moment to donate a toy, clothing or a monetary giſt to keep the true spirit of the season alive.


Tere are many families who will celebrate this holiday season without the presence of a loved one who is currently protecting and serving our country, either in the military or as a first responder. Please take the time to thank them for the service of their family member and remember to keep all of them in your prayers.


Tis is a wonderful time of year to remember how blessed we are to live in a community like Ardmore. Our economy, quality of life and community spirit makes this a truly special place. As we enter these hectic weeks of the holiday season, it is oſten easy to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. Please take time this season to celebrate the things that really matter.


May your holiday season and new year be filled with much joy, happiness and success!
