I was pleased to attend Royersford Emergency Services Night on Oct. 10. It was a great opportunity for people to come out and interact with fire fighters, police officers and first responders. There were demonstrations and information on fire safety, activities for the kids and vendors. Thanks to Mayor Jenna Antoniewicz and all of the volunteers for organizing this event.

The third annual Veterans’ Community Day was held at Veterans’ Island in Pottstown’s Memorial Park, and I was honored to present the Glass Tear Hero Award to Frank Strunk. Mr. Strunk served in the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. He was a leader in the creation of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Pottstown.
