PERENNIALS FOR PARKS
If you are dividing your perennials this spring, why not donate your "discards" to the Parks Department to improve our park landscaping. Just drop off marked plants at the WREC between March 1 and April 30 and we’ll plant them. Or if you wish to help and install them yourself, just call (215) 443-5428 and we’ll provide guidelines for where to plant in the parks. Thank you to the residents who provided iris and lilies in the fall.
ANNUAL FALL SCHOLARSHIP GOLF OUTING
On October 11, the Parks and Recreation Department held their

ARTS IN THE PARKS NEED HELP!
Due to State budget cuts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is no longer providing Local Government Grants for our free summer concert series. We are looking for local businesses and organizations to help sponsor community concerts in amounts of $250 (shared) to $2000.
A “SPOOK-TACULAR” TIME
On October 24th, Society of Young Magicians “Magic on Bridge Street” performed their annual Halloween Magic Show at the WREC. This year over 100 people enjoyed an afternoon of mystical entertainment from magicians of all ages. It was a perfect way to prepare for trick or treating. Thank you “Magic on Bridge Street”!
