Letter to the Editor

I am writing to thank Covington area residents for sharing the true meaning of Christmas with children in need this past holiday season Generosity throughout contributed to a successful shoebox gift collection season at drop-off locations for the Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child Across the United States, the project collected over 9 3 million shoebox gifts in 2022 Combined with those collected from partnering countries the ministry is now sending nearly 10 6 million shoebox gifts to children worldwide

Through shoeboxes packed with fun toys, school supplies, and hygiene items Covington area volunteers brought joy to children in need around the world Each gift-filled shoebox is a tangible expression of God’s love, and it’s often the first gift these children have ever received

Through the continued generosity of donors since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 209 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 170 countries and territories This year, Samaritan’s Purse delivered its milestone 200 millionth shoebox, which was packed on a country-wide tour and then hand-delivered to a young girl in Ukraine

Across Ohio, shoebox packers often shop for deals on shoebox items throughout the year, and many serve at a deeper level by becoming a year-round volunteer Information about ways area participants can get involved year-round can also be found at samaritanspurse org/occ or by calling 937-374-0761

Although local drop-off locations for gifts are closed until November 13-20, anyone can still be a part of this life-changing project by conveniently packing a shoebox gift online in just a few simple clicks at samaritanspurse org/buildonline

These simple gifts packed with love send a message to children worldwide that they are loved and not forgotten

Sincerely, Casey Goodwin Samaritan’s Purse

West Milton Folks Invite Advertiser Along on Their Egyptian Adventure

In January, Barbara and Bob Cecil and Donna Plunkett of West Milton, and Cindy Jay of Kentucky (formerly of West Milton) were very fortunate to travel to the Gift of the Nile, Egypt, to see 3,000-4,000-year-old pyramids, temples, mosques, and carvings They, along with the Cecils’ daughter, Deanna, are pictured with the Advertiser at Abu Simbel, Egypt, to see the majestic temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefatari, constructed in mid-13th Century BC The temples were moved piece by piece to where they are today to avoid being lost again – this time, not from the sand, but for the creation of modern Lake Nasser They also visited the Great Pyramids of Giza, rode camels and in a hot air balloon, and sailed down the Nile “It was another awesome trip of a lifetime!” report the Cecils, winners in our Take Us Along Contest

The Milton-Union Senior Center & Community Club would like to thank the Miami County Foundation for the wonderful Grant that enabled us to replace the furnace and A/C unit in our lounge They were 32 years old and were in need of replacement The old unit was only 80% efficient and the new one is 95% efficient

The Miami County Foundation is truly a great blessing to nonprofit groups here in Miami County

We thank you all for this wonderful Grant
