• Merry Christmas Fund celebrates another $1,000 (delcotimes.com) — Media residents Mary W. Scott and Jeffry Cadorette are among the latest donors helping the Merry Christmas Fund edge toward its $50,000 goal for local families in need. The long-running partnership between the Daily Times and the Salvation Army is already well ahead of last year’s pace, and readers can still give by mail or online while adding short holiday dedications.
