The American Cancer Society invites you to make a special donation in honor or in memory of a loved one during the holiday season through “Love Lights a Tree”. A special memory board has been erected on the south side of the courthouse that lists the names of loved ones.

The DeKalb County Unit of the American Cancer Society seeks your support in the “Love Lights a Tree” fundraising campaign to raise money for research to find a cure as well as cancer education and patient services. Donations may be made throughout the holiday season. The persons you honor or remember do not necessarily have to have suffered from cancer.

The names are in “honor of” and in “memory of” for a donation of five-dollars per name. Forms may be obtained at the local banks. For more information, contact Ivadell Randolph at 615- 597-5296, Lynda Luna at 615- 597-5837, Renee Cantrell at 615-684-2688, or Gail Taylor 615-597-5936.

Almost 500 Christmas Eve meals were delivered to 196 households  this morning (Monday) to the needy or underserved in our community.

The DeKalb Emergency Services Association (DESA), in partnership with Adoration Health as well as local businesses and volunteers, spent the morning preparing and delivering the food to residents on 34 routes throughout the county.

“We feel that this is just another way our local emergency service providers and our supporters can serve our community,” said Blake Cantrell, President of the DESA.

Each food tray contained a serving of ham, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, a roll, and a homemade dessert.

More than 400 food trays were prepared and delivered by dozens of volunteers Thanksgiving Day on behalf of the DESA.
