As we typically do with our Winter Edition of Albemarle Magazine, we’ve included in this edition stories about upcoming holiday events and activities across the region, a few stories about some interesting people, and stories about the great need for assistance during the holidays. The need seems especially acute this year given the everything from gas to groceries.
Correspondent Anna Goodwin McCarthy gets things started with her story about Gail Lane, a retired math teacher who now gets to devote more time to her stained-glass art. a couple of local businesses that sell Christmas trees. Both expect to start selling trees this month.
In our stories about need this holiday season, McCarthy spotlights Albemarle Hopeline’s Christmas Project, a 27-year-old program that helps brighten the Christmas hopes of women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
Williams also checks in with the Salvation Army and Food Bank of the Albemarle about their needs during the holiday season, while correspondent Savannah Hess provides an update on Senior Santa, the holiday program that helps homebound seniors without family living in the area.
Staff Writer Paul Nielsen details the full slate of holiday events, including the Holiday Celebration and Lighted Boat Parade, in Elizabeth City. He also has details about the upcoming holiday celebrations in Currituck and Camden counties.
Tyler Newman, a staff writer with the Chowan Herald, details the upcoming holiday-related activities in Edenton, while John Foley, a staff writer for The Perquimans Weekly, writes about this year’s holidaythemed events in Hertford.
Finally, our Winter Edition calendar contains a complete list of holiday events across the region in November and December.
