From the Board of Commissioners

   Our annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, held on December 7, was a tremendous success! Thank you to

	Jim Persing (Community Center decorations); Carol Thompson, Nancy Bowden, Nancy Sipple, and Barbara DiMario (refreshments committee); Bill Mayo with students from Temple University’s Esther Boyer College of Music (musical performance); and  Santa Claus for his visit with the children.  Thank you to each and every person who worked to make this night a special event.
