I’m hoping that everyone will strive to make Lanark the best it can be and pray for our country. It’s quiet on the home front right now. The Christmas decorations are coming down, and the parties are over. It is time to get back to the business of being retired (volunteering to keep the area running smoothly).Lanark had a perfect example of making things better before the new year; a clean-up of the grounds at the new EMS building was organized by resident Jimmy Golden. Thanks go out to Jimmy and the other volunteers. The county will host a ribboncutting for Lanark EMS this Friday, and the ambulances and crews are already on the property. Lanark’s emergency package is complete, protecting the East Franklin County community, as was evident in the last weeks. There was not much holiday break for those crews, especially our St. James-Lanark Volunteer Fire Department. Think about it!American Legion Post 82 in Lanark had a New Year’s Eve party for the older group, I guess, it ended at 8:30 p.m. But it was lots of fun, with good food, music, and visiting with friends. I suspect some continued to celebrate in other locations.The Lanark Village Association hosted a New Year’s Day dinner, with participants bringing covered dishes and good company. The dinner was well-attended, with about 40 people starting the new year off right. The Lanark Village Golf Club cancelled its yard sale due to rainy weather. They have rescheduled for this Saturday, Jan. 10, starting at 8:30 a.m. ET until about noon, longer if buyers keep coming. Donations are always appreciated. Just a reminder that this benefits the golf club to keep the front yard of Lanark Village beautiful and which is the landing pad for the medical helicopter. The club receives no compensation for this service, which benefits the entire community. There is more to the golf club than playing golf.The first members’ meeting will be on Thursday, Jan. 8 at the Legion starting at 6 p.m.The LVA had its first members’ meeting on Jan. 5 in Chillas Hall. Stay informed about what is happening in the Lanark area.Reminder: It is that time of year when we renew all of our memberships to the organizations in the Lanark area. You can get information on how to join all of the groups by stopping by Chillas Hall, weekdays from 9 to 11 a.m. for information. Please remember to secure your garbage, do not dump unwanted items on the right-of-way, and that boats are not allowed on the rights-of-way. Please do not block sidewalks. All of these things I have mentioned are in the S-4 ordinances posted in the enclosed bulletin board outside Chillas Hall.Love Lanark!Pat Sewell Funderburk is the Times’ Lanark News columnist.
