Memorial Day Weekend
This Memorial Day weekend I attended both Topton’s Memorial Day Ceremony and Collegeville-Topton Memorial Day Parade. It was a meaningful weekend as we paid tribute to our fallen heroes. Their bravery and dedication continue to inspire us all. Together, we stand united in gratitude for our servicemen and servicewomen. Pennsburg Manor Flag Raising Ceremony
Recently I attended the Pennsburg Manor flag raising ceremony. Together we hung the POW and American flag. A special thank you to Barry Simmons from Pennsburg Manor for doing such a wonderful job on coordinating this event! It was an absolute pleasure meeting all the residents. Oley Valley High School Tour
Recently I visited Oley Valley High School to learn about their Agricultural and Engineering Programs. These programs included AG, Stem, Bio Med, and Earth Space Science programs! I was quite impressed by the amazing technology that has transformed teaching and learning within their school. Through state allocated funds and technology-specific grants it has enhanced their students learning. Thank you to all the students who showcased these amazing programs. You have immense potential to create wonders in life! Spring-Ford Rotary Club Meeting
I was recently given the opportunity to join the Spring-Ford Rotary Club for their weekly meeting. Club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to help the overall wellbeing of our communities. These weekly meetings provide an opportunity for local organizations to build strong and lasting friendships with those in the community. It is great to see the positive impact that the Spring-Ford Rotary Club is making! Sheet Metal Workers School
I was thrilled to have visited the Sheet Metal Workers School in Shoemakersville! There I was joined by the Sheet Metal Workers Local 19, William Dorward, Stephen Loch and Teacher Gary Walter. Not only did I get a 101 training on metalworking, but I was also able to add a new piece of artwork to my office! Thank you again for having me visit, I had an awesome time! MedReturn Boxes
