The River Reporter will host a News Ambassador meeting and information session at the River Reporter office, 93 Erie Avenue in Narrowsburg, NY on April 8 at 7:00pm. Current news ambassadors and anyone interested in learning more about the News Ambassador program are welcome to attend for information, conversation, and light refreshments. To RSVP or for details, please email Lenore Rogan at social@riverreporter.com or call 845-252-7414, ext. 127.
Last year at this time, the River Reporter launched its News Ambassador program with a grant from Press Forward, a coalition of funders working to strengthen local news organizations nationwide so that communities stay informed, connected and engaged.
Delaware Valley High School student journalists and youth news ambassadors pictured (l-r) are: Kimberly Smyser, Ava Troup, Emma Simmons, Kaitlin Gelardi.
With Press Forward support, the River Reporter connected with local community members willing to consistently attend public meetings, record them, and communicate key details back to the newspaper. Since then, several intrepid volunteers have done just that, expanding both the newspaper’s coverage and community engagement with local government.
Today, the News Ambassador program remains in its early stages, but thanks to a dedicated cohort of news ambassadors from towns like Bethel and Delaware, NY, and Honesdale and Hawley, PA, a vision for its future is emerging. Student journalists from Delaware Valley High School (DVHS) in Milford, PA, have been especially helpful with moving the program forward, not only regularly attending and recording Delaware Valley School District’s school board meetings, but also providing meaningful news leads to River Reporter staff and publishing some of their work in the River Reporter’s news pages.
Regarding student participation, DVHS English and Journalism Teacher Leslie Lordi observed, “It has been refreshing to see my young high school journalists have an interest in covering our school board meetings. They are invested in this News Ambassadors program and its importance in our community.” The River Reporter welcomes their perspectives, values the time and talent they are investing, and looks forward to their ongoing leadership and success.
If you think you might like to join the news ambassador team, or if you work with young people and would like to learn more about how the program works and what it entails, please attend the upcoming meeting or reach out for more information.

The monthly Insulin Pump Support Group meets at the Abington Community Library on the third Thursday of each month at 6:00pm.

The March 19th meeting is pleased to have Emily Gelatt speaking to the group. She brings professional expertise and a desire to help individuals understand insurance and Medicare benefits.
Emily Gelatt
Emily’s journey into becoming an independent broker was not something she ever expected to do. After graduating from Mountain View High School, she received her associate’s degree in graphic design. For 20 years she worked at a variety of jobs which included working in a sign shop as a designer. She then worked for a third-party administrator company for two years in their Cobra Department. When looking for a change, a friend offered her a chance to work in the insurance business as a broker. She then became licensed in 2016 and worked with a group for eight years and has been an independent broker for a year. As a broker, she now meets with groups as well as individuals to help people understand Medicare and their benefits.
