Here's a wonderful video from Maine about paying for health care by begging for pennies on behalf of sick children who have no coverage. We've seen it here in Greencastle too. Containers on counters instead of affordable, accessible care. Write your Senators, write your Congressman, have your families do the same where ever they live. We need health care reform.

Food Bank Needs Your Help
The Greencastle Antrim Democratic Club meets at the Greencastle Presbyterian Church. That's also the site for an important food bank for our community. Recently your editor made a donation to the foodbank and was told that the number of people requesting assistance had doubled. But, unfortunately, food bank contributions are down. Can you help? Please bring contributions for the foodbank to our next meeting or to the August 15th picnic. Dollars or canned goods or packaged goods such as cereal and pasta are welcome. If you cannot attend either meeting you can leave the contributions in the church office. Our neighbors need us!
