We at Women’s Resources of Monroe County are saddened, outraged, and disheartened on behalf of all sexual assault survivors following the decision made by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to overturn the sentencing of Bill Cosby’s 2018 conviction on three counts of aggravated indecent assault.
It is important to stress that while Mr. Cosby has been freed from prison it was not due to any new evidence. It was because of a prior legal agreement’s impact on the trial and there was never any doubt of his guilt. Mr. Cosby's sentence was not overturned because he's innocent, but because of a previous deal between him and a DA in 2005, in which he admitted to drugging women in a deposition. He is not exonerated.

I’m sure many of you are in the midst of summer activities and programs. Although COVID changed many of our plans over the past year it’s encouraging to see some annual events like missions trips, youth camps, and VBS programs slowly coming back. Our world needs to hear the gospel of Christ Jesus during these tumultuous times.
We have a few briefing items for you all:
1. PA Governor’s Emergency Order Ends: Even though Churches and Houses of Worship have been consistently exempt from the Governor’s Emergency Order, we did want you to be informed that the Emergency Order has come to an end through the recent Constitutional Amendment vote and the subsequent legislative vote earlier in the month. This means that gathering restrictions and other executive restrictions have now been lifted.

Hello Folks, Aunt Eunice here. I hope you are all doing well and are getting ready for summer. To some people, that means getting the blades on the lawn mower sharpened or hosing off the lawn furniture or getting more propane tanks for the grill. For Quiet Valley, it means gearing up for our summer tour season. On the third Saturday in June, we open our gates to the public for tours of the historic farm. It’s a chance to spend some time in the 19th century. Since we will be portraying family members living in the 1800s on our small family farm, we will ask you to use your imagination and pretend you have traveled back in time. No cars. No computers or cell phones. Just traditional chores and heritage crafts being done, animals being cared for as well as the growing and harvesting of crops. Quiet Valley is a small working farm as well as a living history museum.
