Pennridge Reopening

We miss you as much as you miss us! It has been hard on all of us. We will have full details on reopening at the end of July. 

 50% off Thrift Sale and Shredding Event Results

 We appreciate and want to thank our Members and Community for supporting our Shredding Event and our 50% off Thrift Sale. I want to thank the Volunteers who volunteered their time to help us at these events. The Shredding Event Volunteers, were Janice Jaeger, Ed McManus, Lowell (Skeeter) Musselman, Carol Shultz, and Rod Shultz. The Thrift Sale Volunteers, were Bob Frank, Elaine Frank, Jane Loring, Ed McManus, Lowell (Skeeter) Musselman, Carol Shultz, Rod Shultz, and Pat Siwert. Assistant Manager, Carol Tyson, and Manager Peggy Lewis, volunteer their time to help out at all events.

So many people complimented us on how well organized and clean everything was. All the credit goes to Carol Shultz and Rod Shultz. They worked for weeks preparing for the Thrift Sale. It was their hard work and dedication that made this event successful. 

We also got many compliments on how helpful and kind our Volunteers were. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful and dedicated Volunteers.

 Aluminum Cans

Did you know there is a dumpster for the Silverdale community and our Center for aluminum cans for recycling? This very long dumpster is in the back of the parking lot, where you can bring only your aluminum cans. Please don’t bring anything else to put in the dumpster. It’s only for aluminum cans.

The proceeds from recycling are then donated to the Center by the Silverdale Borough Council. Thank You!

 Center Closures

The Center will be closed for National Holidays.

Please refer to your Newsletter or our online Calendar for specific information.

 

Also, the Center will be closed due to inclement weather coinciding with the closing of

the Pennridge area schools (#757 on some radio stations).  If you are unsure of the

closure, WNPV (1440 AM) and WFMZ-TV69 (Allentown) will announce the school closing

by name, as does www.6ABC.com (TV station).


NOTICE - If the school district opens late the Center will also open late, by the same

number of hours.  Also, if the school district closes early, the center will close

early, by the same number of hours.  If the weather is bad and if the Center is open,

use common sense if you decide to drive to the Center.


CBS3 carries school closings online at http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/schools/.  

 

You may also call the Center at 215-453-7027 or 215-453-7028.
