The Beacon, along with the entire community, mourns the loss of our beloved senior staff member, Aleka Damiano, whose passion, kindness, determination, talent, warmth, and intelligence will be so greatly missed and so fondly remembered.  We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, and to all who were so privileged to know and love her.  The Beacon‘s annual senior print edition, to be published this June, will feature a tribute to Aleka.  Should you wish to contribute to the GoFundMe collection set up in her honor, please follow this link: https://www.gofundme.com/alekastrong
