Looking ahead to November's Cheltenham Celebrates America 250 event, we will be doing a Veterans Day service project compiling care packages for veterans in need. This will be followed by a speaking program and reception for veterans and a screening of documentary No Off Days (details and sign-up form to come).

For the service project, we are accepting donations of personal care items and apparel, limited snack items, and notebooks/puzzle books. Look for these signs on drop-off bins at the Township Building, Glenside Hall and Rowland during staffed programs, and at our Wall House Fair and Fall Fest events.

Those collecting Cheltenham 250 passport coins will be able to pick up a coin if dropping off to the Township Building.
Thank you for helping us take care of our veterans!
