PAGE 3B
With the state of the economy filling
newscasts every day, this Christmas
looks to be a bleak one for many
Monroe County families. But, once
again Kids Yule Love is trying to do its
part to help make sure the kids have a
merry Christmas.
The Kids Yule Love program of
Monroe County is run by the
Bolingbroke Volunteer Fire Dept. The
families that are helped are all
Monroe County residents. All funds
that are collected are spent in Monroe
County at the local Wal-mart and
other local businesses.
Donate new toys in any of the many
collection boxes located around the
county. There are collection boxes at
all Monroe County schools, Monroe
County Bank in Forsyth and boling
broke, Bolingbroke Fire Department
and the Monroe CountyReporter office.
For more information call J.D.
Chapman at478-808-9875.
The Kids Yule Love
collection box at the
Reporter sits empty.
There are dozens of
kids in Monroe
County who may not
have a Christmas
unless it’s filled
soon.

Union Hill
Baptist to
have holiday
food drive
Union Hill Missionary
Baptist Church is having
their annual food drive.
They are collecting non
perishable food items for
families in the communi
ty. They will be collecting
every Sunday during reg
ular church services and
Wednesday from 6 - 7
p.m. The deadline to
turn in items is Dec. 16.
Getting through
the holidays less
depressed, with
less stress and a
lot more rest
I t’s the time of year
when many people
forget about their
cares and worries
and focus on shop
ping, going to parties,
cooking, visits with Santa;
it’s a time of joy. But, for
some, life issues make the
holidays difficult. Some
people may become stress
ful and depressed.
There are many ways to
ease the stress and
depression that are felt,
especially at this time of
year. Surround yourself
with supportive and car
ing people. Friendship
and love can go a long
way. Make new friends.
Remember, the more the
merrier.
Give back. The lonely
next door neighbor might
enjoy some company and
conversation. Don’t bur
den yourself with details.
It’s not about being per
fect, it’s about having
fun. Don’t overspend.
Come January the bills
are due. Limit or elimi
nate your alcohol intake.
Alcohol is a depressant.
These are just a few
ways to minimize depres
sion during the holidays,
but you get the idea.
If you or anyone you
know begin to experience
symptoms of depression
that are persistent, you
may need to seek profes
sional assistance. Some
symptoms to be aware of
are loss of interest in
activities, lack of energy,
changes in appetite or
sleep, feelings of worth
lessness or hopelessness,
feelings of guilt or low
self esteem, irritability,
and thoughts of death or
suicide. If you recognize
any of these symptoms,
or would like more infor
mation, please contact
your physician or River
Edge Behavioral Health
Center at 994-7600.
Please watch for our
next article in December.
