Happy New Years! Hope you all heralded it in well, and that you all have some nice goals to actually work towards in this new year! Anyways onto new inhumane actions that others have selflessly committed.
We are all very busy throughout the year and sometimes we forget some of the people who are key to our growth and development, our grade school teachers. Russell E. Eppinger was a teacher, coach, principal, and assistant super attendant in the Middletown School District who lived by action and not on thought. He was born and raised in Middletown and returned there to teach for his career and cared for his alma mater from the very first day he walked in the halls. Russ was always optimistic to students and staff during his time at the school and did his best for the students. He recently passed away, but lives on in the many students he touched. His actions inspired many to follow his example, and many good people will emerge because of him.
There are a few privately run shelters for the homeless and downtrodden that provide the necessities for people who can reach them, but what about those who cant? That is where the Bethesda Mission's Mobile Mission comes into play. It is a van that is capable of going beyond the mission to reach out to the homeless. Every week they go out to where the denizens congregate and provide them with fresh meals, clothings, and sleeping materials. Once they even brought out an entire mattress to be delivered to a fortunate person. What makes this more amazing is that this entire effort is coordinated by a few people who get paid a meager sum for their hard work. Yet it is thanks to them that many of the area's homeless have a comfortable night and a hot meal, a luxury which is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
I'm sorry but this is all I could find for today. I'd also like to apologize for not posting Friday. I was busy with New Years festivities as I am sure all of your were. I hope you have a year as good as mine!
Stay Kind and Generous,
Joshua Berrios
