Hoarders’ money is like honey — only others will enjoy.
The bees slowly gather the nectar, only to let others enjoy the honey.
What you give to charity and what you use for your daily life,
That I hold to be your wealth. The rest is for someone else to squander.
— From the Shubhaashitaavali (Sanskrit)
If you’ve something to share with readers...
Our readers are scattered over a large area in southwestern Pennsylvania,
eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia.
It is difficult for people in one area to
know what is going on in other areas.
So, if you’re interested, send us details
of your upcoming events giving information on what, when, where, who,
why, and the ticketing and contact details. If you are fundraising, be
specific about your beneficiaries.
We will try to include your events as brief announcements.
Also, we may publish brief summaries of events that have already been
conducted. For this, please contact us before your program or before
working on your story to make it easy for the writer and the editor to
allocate space and save time. If you have any story ideas, please get in
