Kudos to Comitta
Carolyn Comitta recently announced her re-election campaign for the Pennsylvania State Senate. 

The truth is, Comitta has been earning another term representing the residents of Chester County in Pennsylvania’s 19th Senatorial District from the first day she took office.

Comitta has delivered—and delivered again—for her constituents.

Comitta has worked to ensure that Chester County gets its fair share of state funding for a wide variety of projects and initiatives since she was elected to the State Senate in 2020. One recent example of this is the $50,000 in state grant funding that Comitta secured for the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center for facility improvements, repairs, and upgrades.

This funding comes during the critical holiday season. The Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center provides food, clothing and other basic needs to families in the area.

Comitta has also helped secure significant funding for revitalization efforts in Oxford Borough. Before Comitta was elected to the State Senate, she served two terms in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and her familiarity with how Harrisburg works enabled her to be an effective legislator from day one. Before serving as a state lawmaker, Comitta served two terms as a mayor of West Chester Borough so she understands the challenges that small municipalities in Pennsylvania face.

Kudos to Comitta for the work she has accomplished to improve the lives of residents in the 19th Senatorial District.

Remember, honor and teach
Wreaths Across America is aiming to place 2.7 million wreaths this year. Thousands of those wreaths will be placed right here in southern Chester County.

Thanks to the work of local organizers like Clarissa Sherrow, who leads the Wreaths Across America effort in the Oxford area, veterans will once again be remembered this holiday season.

Many wreath-laying ceremonies are taking place this Saturday, Dec. 16.

We encourage everyone who can to help out with Wreaths Across America’s mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach.

Santa Train
On Saturday afternoon, Dec. 16, Santa Claus will be riding on a locomotive and making stops in Kennett Square, Tougkenamon, Avondale and West Grove as part of a first-ever “Santa Train” in southern Chester County.

Avondale mayor Susan Rzucidlo organized this new event, and we applaud her and West Grove mayor Stephen Black for their roles in bringing something new to local residents. We’re of the opinion that there simply can’t be too many of these events that help build community spirit and increase the joy of the Christmas season. We hope for good weather this Saturday and for this event to be a success so it can grow in the future.
