First off, our sympathy is extended to the McReynolds family of Cumberland. Mary Edith McReynolds, age 93, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, June 16. She will be missed by all who knew her. 

Also, our sympathy goes out to the Fulcher family of Farmville.  Joyce Fulcher, age 83, went home to be with the Lord on Monday June 12. She will also be missed by all who knew her.

Shifting around a bit, just a reminder that the Cumberland County Landfill Alert Committee will have their regular meeting coming up on Sunday, July 9. The nonprofit organization will meet at 3 p.m. at 71 Community Center Drive in Cumberland. The continued purpose of these meetings is to inform Cumberland County  residents and surrounding counties about the serious impact this Mega Landfill will have on you and your neighbors, giving you the most current update.
