The links below include interesting information on past years races and the number of

run/walkers and how much money was raised...good stuff!

• Camp Cadet – Susquehanna Valley Law Enforcement Camp Cadet.  Click on the link below to see the flyer with details on this great program, contacts and how you can help support this program.

• Hard to Recycle Items – the link below will produce a two page document with locations that accept those unusual or hard to recycle items like:  CFL light bulbs, paint, flower pots and trays, electronics, etc.

The good...Penn Township provides a compost site for all.  Providing a place, easily accessible to all, to get rid of all the unwanted yard waste.  Penn Township then grinds and prepares these materials to provide mulch and compost FREE to all.

The bad....what do we get for that, we get all the crap that does not belong at the compost site.  Your roofing shingles, your cinder blocks, your transport containers, your flower pots and garbage bags, your treated wood and construction waste etc...this is what will ruin this free service for all of us.  Remember this is YOUR compost site, while the police patrol it as they can, you can report any illegal or even suspicious activity.  Violators will be prosecuted.  If it's not yard waste material, then it is littering!

The good...WOW, have you been to the new park restrooms? This was an 80K project that happened because of the generosity and voluntarism of a select few, who worked their tails off to provide a nice clean modern restroom.  What could be better then to have a great day at the park with your sports team, your family for a picnic, moms and their children at the play set, a company picnic, a great place to just hang out with friends.... and boy o boy, what if you need to go to the bathroom, taaadaaaa, there just happens to be a great restroom!

The bad...some have still not learned mature bathroom etiquette. Again, these bathrooms belong to the users of the park...if you see inappropriate behavior by anyone of any age you need to report what you see.  I so believe in karma....you can't continue to do wrong and get away with it, just so you know!

Remember, Penn Township belongs to all of us,

let's not allow a few to ruin all the good we have. 

East Snyder Park News…

The latest project COMPLETED at the East Snyder Park is the veteran's memorial monument. This monument will complete an area near the entrance to the park that will be pleasing to the eye and have special meaning to many.  The monument will be a perfect way to honor and salute those who sacrificed so much, enabling each of us to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!
