Dear Friends and Neighbors,
As we gather this evening to prepare for this Thursday’s Queen of Hearts event, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the immense heartbreak our community is experiencing.
We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that took place last night, claiming the lives of three innocent individuals. Our hearts go out to all the families affected, and we stand with them in this time of sorrow.
With the blessing of Gracie’s family, we are dedicating this Thursday’s Queen of Hearts event to her recovery and to supporting the funeral expenses for the loved ones lost. The Chamber will be accepting cash and check donations throughout the evening, and a GoFundMe QR code will be available for those who wish to contribute online.
While we may not all know each other personally, what makes Lebanon special is the way we come together as a family in difficult and trying times. The past 24 hours have shaken many to their very core, but our strength lies in our unity, and unwavering support for one another.
We invite you to join us this Thursday, not only for Queen of Hearts but also to stand in solidarity with those in need, in times we all pray we never have to experience or experience again.
The Truckeria Del Valle food truck will be serving up its incredible dishes starting at 5 PM—even if you are unable to participate in the drawing due to the 40-week deadline, we encourage you to come out, share a meal, and support this important cause.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with all the families affected. Thank you for being part of a community that truly cares.
God bless
