A Community Tradition for over 30 years
For over 30 years, the Community Choir has presented a celebration of the Christmas story through music and scripture. The tradition that began at one church now encompasses the entire community with performances hosted at various churches each Christmas season. The choir is open to anyone in the community who likes to sing. The choir has been rehearsing since October, and is ready to perform.
The Community Choir is co-directed by Sue Briggs-Stanfill and Candy Herda-Scott with Coralee Petersen on piano accompaniment. A variety of music will be sung with scripture readings throughout the performance telling the story of the prophecy and birth of Christ. This year’s host church is the Pinedale Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located at 221 E North Street in Pinedale. The performance will be on Sunday, December 15th at 5 pm followed by a reception. Please join us in celebrating the Christmas season through song and fellowship.

Community Initiatives Group workshop Jan. 7 (posted 12/8/13)
Reviving the community action group
Efforts are currently underway to revive a community action group that was formed and active during the Great Boom of the 2000’s. The original group, named Sublette Group for Community Initiative, had the Vision Statement: "To promote stewardship in a growing and cohesive community" and a Mission Statement: "Encourage practical action to strengthen and bind our community physically, socially and economically."
While the county’s economic situation has changed, our values have not. This group looks to a future with continued community participation. With the changing conditions and needs, efforts are now focused on a new direction for the group to take. The group is currently looking for more community members who would be interested in participating. There will be a workshop on Tuesday, January 7, 2014, at The Chambers House Bed and Breakfast, 111 West Magnolia Street, in Pinedale starting at noon. Any interested person is welcome to attend. A light lunch will be served. Questions can be directed to Ann Noble at 307-360-8894.

Air Medical Transport memberships provide peace of mind for $49 (posted 11/25/13)
Sublette County Rural Health Care District
The holiday season is a time to reflect on the blessings of the year and to show gratitude for the good things life brings us, such as family and health. It is also a time of year that brings about thoughts of preparation and planning for the new year ahead. This year, Sublette County Rural Health Care District encourages you to plan for the not-so-good things life can bring.
Your local clinics partner with Air Methods for air medical transport. In the event of a serious sickness or injury, we rely on Air Methods to get you and your family to a higher level of care immediately. But one helicopter ride can leave you with a medical bill that you will be paying for months. Air Methods provides Omni Advantage, a membership program that covers the cost of air medical transport. For $49 a year ($39 for AAA members) Air Methods will accept your health insurance payment as full payment for any medically necessary transport by any of their aircraft for you, your spouse and any dependent children under the age of 26. They also offer a $99 individual membership if you are uninsured.
Visit the OmniAdvantage website to apply or go to http://www.sublettehealthcare.com/urgent-care.html to download the application.
