They bake up love & kindness for heroic caregivers

|March 25, 2024
A cookie-baking competition between two friends during the COVID-19 quarantine turned into a national movement providing baked goodies to essential workers.
Today, Cookies for Caregivers has continued delivering a steady supply of cookies and love to all kinds of workers with the thought that everyone is essential!
Like many at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, Scott McKenzie was furloughed from his athletics job at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Looking for something to occupy his time, the married father of two grown daughters pulled out the red Betty Crocker Cookbook and tried his hand at baking chocolate chip cookies from scratch. Pleased and proud of his creation, he posted photos on Facebook.
Those look pretty good, but I bet mine are better, his friend Jeremy Uhrich, a local middle school teacher and father of two young boys, playfully commented.
Up for the challenge, the two friends tapped their mayor, David Wessels, to judge a cookie-baking competition, pitting each of them against a high school girl. She won. Still, the guys had a great time.

The Mary Tyler Moore SHOW
From That Girl in the 1960s to Ally McBeal in the 1990s to Sex and the City in the 2000s, television has long reflected the shifting image of independent women. Yet the true game-changer came in 1970, when The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduced Mary Richards—30, single, stylish and making her way in a newsroom full of men. Rather than being someone’s wife or daughter, she was the star, and she changed television forever. Join us for a look back at rare behind-the-scenes photos of the groundbreaking show as we celebrate its 55th anniversary.

Happy money, happy holidays
The holidays are here (yay!), and with them comes both joy and, let's be honest, stress. For many of us, the shopping lists, entertaining costs or the ache of an empty chair at the table can dim the sparkle of the season. If that's you, please accept my wishes that the days land lightly.
