The Ledger Tradition Continues... 24 Best Wishes for 2024

In the January 7, 1998 issue of the Whitehall Ledger, owner Glenn Marx offered up 98 Best Wishes for 1998. What a great idea - and in the January 4, 2023 edition I restarted this tradition, though lucky for me, as we entered 2023, I only need to offer 23 Best Wishes. Now, on to 2024, and some best wishes for the new year!

24) Best wishes to everyone involved in the highly anticipated new Golden Sunlight daycare facility.

23) Best wishes (and speedy finishing) to the new Whitehall Town Pump. We can’t wait to see it!

22) Best wishes to the Whitehall Town Council as they work to provide Whitehall with sound judgment and transparency.

21) Best wishes to everyone who wrote a letter to the editor in 2022. Let’s keep them coming in 2023.

20) Best wishes to the Whitehall School District and Cardwell School as they lead our children forward to their futures. PS....you’re halfway through this school year!

19) Best wishes to the Whitehall Recreation Complex Board and the Whitehall Saddle Club as they move in their own directions after a contentious 2023.

18) Best wishes to the Whitehall PTSA as they continue to do more and more for the children of Whitehall schools!

17) Best wishes to all of the Whitehall/Cardwell area churches who are working to make a difference in the community via kids activities, community events, and more.

16) Best wishes to GJP Community Theatre as it begins the selection of its fourth play - come be a part of the fun either on stage or assisting in the back!

15) Best wishes to the Whitehall Community Library, Jeannie Ferriss, and her crew as they work tireless hours to create one of the healthiest and most vibrant libraries around.

14) Best wishes to the Jefferson Valley Museum and all of its volunteers who make history come alive every year.

13) Best wishes to Jefferson Valley EMS, Rural Ambulance, and Search and Rescue - we usually only thank you when you’ve saved our lives - but we appreciate you year-round!

12) Best wishes to all the volunteers in our community - you may work behind the scenes, but your work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

11) Best wishes to the new Executive Director of the Whitehall Chamber of Commerce, Chiara Schober, as she delves into her new role.

10) Best wishes to Gold Junction Presents as they continue their efforts to bring arts and cultural activities to the Whitehall area via the historic Star Theatre. While GJP is assuming ownership of the business, the great movies, service, and events will continue as normal!

9) Best wishes to anyone whose resolutions for the New Year were to be stronger mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

8) Best wishes to anyone working to bring new events, tourism, and revenue to the Whitehall area. Your ideas are valued, wanted, and needed. Let the Ledger and the Chamber know how they can be of help!

7) Best wishes to We Are HER as they continue their mission to help survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault become Healed, Empowered, and Restored.

6) Best wishes to all of the Whitehall Trojan sports teams in the upcoming year.

4) Best wishes to all submitting photos into the Ledger’s Photo of the Week contest - your photographs are always amazing and well received.

3) Best wishes to anyone who has to deal with the Whitehall Ledger editor when she is sleep-deprived, caffeine-empty, and a smidgen crabby.

2) Best wishes to each new business or expanding business who decides to make the investment of money and effort to provide service and products to Whitehall area residents.

1) Best wishes to everyone reading this, near and far, and for a prosperous and happy 2024. Happy New Year!
