A Winning Combination – Efficient Lighting and Cheesecake
/in News /by Guiding LightSometimes blessings come when we least expect them. Last week, Brian Van Haren, President of Van Haren Electric Inc., was our luncheon guest.

Becoming STRONG Again
/in Guiding Light, News /by Guiding Light“I remember it like it was yesterday.” Charlene Strong recalls the first time her fifteen year old son came home with alcohol on his breath.
