2. This time of the year is all about giving back to those in need. On Friday, the Anne Arundel County Food Bank got some help from Live! Casino and Hotel. Live! donated 300 turkeys to the food bank, which will go to the food bank's office in Crownsville where they will then be distributed to families. At last count almost 7,000 households will be receiving a Thanksgiving basket, and that includes one of these wonderful turkeys or a chicken from one of the other supporters, as well as all the fixings.

3. Between Washington and Annapolis and the Patuxent and Little Patuxent rivers, the Two Rivers master-planned community spreads across more than 1,400 acres in Anne Arundel County. The plan calls for more than 2,000 homes when the development is done. Brookfield Residential, a Canadian developer, is one of the companies building two neighborhoods at Two Rivers — one for people 55 and over, the other, open to all ages. (Brookfield Residential)
4. Visitors of Anne Arundel County libraries can check out a book and grab a coronavirus rapid test kit, it's currently the only library system in the state that is giving out the test kits. County Executive Steuart Pittman said in a statement that while vaccinations increase, "providing free and easy access at the community level will help us slow the spread of COVID-19 as winter approaches." Kits are intended for personal use and are limited to one per person. (TopNews)
