Center Closures

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.
