News From Save the Boyertown Pool …
"The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here.
CONSTRUCTION HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN at the Boyertown Community Pool!!!
This is more than construction-it’s the beginning of bringing back a place where memories are made, friendships are built, and summers come alive.
While there’s still plenty of work ahead, today marks a HUGE milestone, and we couldn’t have reached it without the incredible support of our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and this amazing community.
Thank you for believing in this dream and helping us make it a reality. Stay tuned as we share construction updates along the way-we can’t wait to take you on this journey!"
News From New Hanover Township Parks and Recreation ...
"If you're visiting New Hanover Community Park or Swamp Creek Park, be sure to check out the new playground equipment!
These exciting additions were made possible through a generous grant from the Pottstown Regional Community Foundation.
The Foundation is committed to strengthening health, education, and economic opportunity throughout our community, and we're grateful for their investment in New Hanover Township's parks and families.
Thank you, Pottstown Regional Community Foundation, for helping create fun, active spaces where our community can play, explore, and make lasting memories!"
Boyertown Mayor Lori Carnes Requests ...
"I would like to ask all of the people who live in Boyertown to please clean up the weeds on your sidewalks. Whether or not you own or rent, it is the home you live in and it shows great pride and responsibility to take care of your property.
I would like to ask all of the businesses to set an example and start with your properties.
Also, if you live next to someone who could use your help, please do so.
A few ideas - the weeds are easier to pull after it rains; a solution of vinegar can help; hire a landscaper or someone to assist.
Please let’s get our beautiful town cleaned up."
Bechtelsville Shares ...
"The Bechtelsville Recreation Association is a recently organized Pennsylvania nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Its purpose is to assist the Borough of Bechtelsville in raising funds to upgrade its recreational facilities without placing the financial burden on Borough residents.
Our first project was to install a playground on the Borough’s Railroad Street property. The former playground at the Park was removed for safety concerns. This has left a void in our community for our children to gather and play. We are developing plans for future stages of improvements that will benefit residents and our community children.
We are also planning community events to gather together with our neighbors, family and friends. Some of those events may include: Community Day, Movies in the Park, Car / Motorcycle show, Band night, Spaghetti Dinner.
Obviously, we are going to need your input, ideas and HELP!!! There are many ways to help.
Volunteer – be willing to give us a hand during events and preparing for events. Join us to plan and organize events. Meetings are the first Monday of each month, 6:30 pm at Borough Hall. In the event of a holiday, the meeting is held the second Monday of the month.
Donations – it is an easy, tax-deductible way to further along the community recreation so all can enjoy! Checks should be payable to “Bechtelsville Recreation Association” and can be mailed to Borough of Bechtelsville, 18 Railroad Street, Bechtelsville, PA 19505. Checks should indicate “recreation fund” on the memo line.
Sponsorships – is a great way to advertise your business and help your local community at the same time. And did we mention it is tax-deductible?
Up to date information on the events going on in the community is on the Borough’s FaceBook page: Bechtelsville PA, or on the Borough’s web site: Bechtelsville.org.
If you need additional information or have questions, please contact us at:610.367.8100
With sincere thanks! Bechtelsville Recreation Association"
