My shredding event was a success
|
On Saturday, Nov. 8, Senator Nick Miller and I joined Whitehall Township to host a paper-shredding event. It was a great success! Two hundred people took advantage of the opportunity to safely shred documents containing personal information and clear out old files.
|
I want to thank the student volunteers from Whitehall-Coplay School District and Whitehall's Mayor, Joseph Marks, for making the event run smoothly.

Visiting the Fellowship Community’s Holiday Bazaar
|
I stopped in to check out the Fellowship Community’s Holiday Bazaar. There were lots of great gift ideas and I hope many of you got to stop by as well.
|
I always appreciate the opportunities I get to talk with my constituents, and this time was no different, especially in the midst of the holiday season.
|
If you are part of an organization in the district (Catasauqua, Coplay, Fountain Hill Borough, Hanover Township, West Bethlehem, Whitehall Township) feel free to let me know!
|
On Saturday, Nov. 15, I had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast with a wonderful group of veterans and members of the Fountain Hill community. Fountain Hill Borough, Iglesia Cristiana Shekinah, St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the Fountain Hill Community Coalition hosted the second annual Veterans’ Day and First Responders Breakfast and Recognition Celebration.
Eating a delicious breakfast with men and women who have served our country is a great way to start the day!
