West End GOP

The West End Republicans have a scheduled meeting set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at Cherry’s Family Restaurant in Kresgeville.

Those wanting to eat dinner there should come an hour early.

Yellow Dot

In the Western Pocono Women’s Club August newsletter comes a reminder about the PennDOT’s Yellow Dot Program.

Participants in the program fill out the program form with emergency contact, medical contact and medical information, insert it in the program’s folder and then place it in their vehicle’s glove compartment.

A yellow dot sticker affixed to the rear window alerts emergency responders to the availability of information to help them provide better care to crash victims.

Get more information by going to PennDOT.gov.

Event rescheduled

Due to the continuing pandemic, the Monroe County Habitat For Humanity She Nailed It has been canceled.

However, the High 5 Challenge has replaced the Nailed it fundraiser, which will run through Sept. 21.

Habitat supporters are asked to donate increments of $5, whether $5, $50, $500 or even $5,000 to provide roof replacements for a minimum of five Monroe County low-income residents.

Fifty thousand dollars are needed to do repairs for those five families.
