2. Senior citizen homelessness rising in Lebanon County; mission at capacity (lebtown.com) — Senior homelessness is straining Lebanon County’s shelters, with the Lebanon Rescue Mission already full and more older residents seeking beds and support.

4. Lebanon dog park set to open with annual fee, 'Paw Pass' required for access (local21news.com) — Lebanon’s first dog park is opening Saturday, and city residents will need a paid annual “Paw Pass” with proof of vaccinations and a waiver to get in. Fees start at $30 a year for Lebanon residents and $45 for non-residents, sparking debate among local dog owners over affordability, access, and whether the cost is worth it.
   

5. Lawmakers urge bipartisan action to protect seniors from scams (fox43.com) — Lebanon County residents’ state senator Chris Gebhard is pushing bipartisan legislation to help banks pause suspicious transactions and better protect seniors from scams that have cost Pennsylvanians over $200 million.
