The U.S. 12 Heritage Trail Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution held its annual Good Citizens Recognition Ceremony for 2021 school year recently at the Quincy Village Picnic Pavilion.
The DAR group represents Hillsdale and Branch counties and all members are descendants of Revolutionary War soldiers.
For the 2021 school year, 14 schools across Hillsdale and Branch counties participated in the Good Citizens Award. The administration at each school chose an outstanding senior who exemplifies dependability, service, leadership and patriotism.
Selected students were invited to compete in the local essay contest. This year, the essay title given to the students was “Our American Heritage and Responsibility for Preserving it. The focus question of the essay was, “How do the combined actions of so many good citizens keep our nation moving forward?”
Mama s Place: Vaccinations
Louise Finney
I got my first COVID-19 vaccination last week. I do not like shots and have generally avoided them, luckily staying healthy while skipping flu shots, pneumonia shots and shingles shots. However, now that I am the age of perhaps having “underlying health conditions that might raise the risk of complications of COVID-19,” I heeded the voice of reason, wore my mask, socially distanced and anxiously awaited this miraculous vaccine. I even had a flu shot for the first time since I was 23 years old while teaching at Ramsey Junior High, where the school nurse lined up the faculty and streamlined a mass flu vaccination clinic. I came down with what I diagnosed as the flu and didn’t have another flu shot until the one on Oct. 1, 2020.
