On the heels of welcoming a new column to the LCN roster a few weeks ago, we are now sadly bidding another adieu.

Bringing Food Home Signing Off, For Now...

at

Dear readers, it has been an honor to serve the Lincoln County community as the food security community connector, a job that started in 2020 with the Lincoln County Food Initiative. Though this is my last newspaper column, our talented team at Healthy Lincoln County will be continuing the efforts, so this will not be the last round-up of farmers’ markets, share tables, and food programs in the paper.

Growth and change are part of life, and Lincoln Academy students have a quality selection of teachers and faculty to aid them in that journey.

Wit and Wisdom

I started writing with a small group of women at the Lincoln Home in January 2021. My friend, Kim Traina, who handles marketing and is deeply committed to The Lincoln Home, had mentioned a few residents were interested in writing memoirs. Kacie Orff, activities director, was hoping to bring more offerings into The Lincoln Home. COVID-19 was raging, vaccines were not available, and the residents were staying put without seeing family and friends. Little did I know my time there would be the balm I needed in a painful point in my own life.
