Overheard: “The month of November had a Friday the 13th, but I wasn’t scared about that. It’s 2020 that has me worried.”

Bill Fleming (Springfield, Mo.): “I probably read the Sentinel more thoroughly than people in Stockton.”

Willard Atwill: “I sure missed the Word Search in last week’s paper! I love doing them!”

The Stockton Food Pantry is a program that continues in this community due to the generosity of its local people. As we approach the holiday season, please think about giving to the Pantry by: donating canned goods; making a cash donation; signing up at Stockton City Hall to donate $1.00 or more every month; or giving a crop donation.

Just a reminder that this year, with the COVID restrictions, the Sigma Phi ESA Bake Sale will not be held as usual. Instead, the group will be selling holiday cookies, candy and caramel corn as its annual fundraiser, and you can either pick it up or they will deliver. Sigma Phi members will be accepting orders in advance, with the order forms due on Saturday, December 5th. Please turn in a completed form, which was printed in last week’s edition and will also appear in next week’s edition to an ESA member or drop it off at Stockton Pharmacy or Solutions North Bank. Order pickup/delivery will be Sunday, December 13th between 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the VFW Post 8873, 314 Main Street, Stockton.
