Come join us on a tour of the little Longswamp Historical Society museum. The museum is a little small, but we can tour it in groups if we need to. Our new plan is to go to the Maple Grove Inn for dinner following the tour so please RSVP on the sign up list below and indicate if you are attending the tour and whether you are also planning to go to dinner.

We have been collecting plastic since last summer and have so far gotten one bench which was placed at the Boyer Park along with our Peace Pole on September 2.
Please email or text your picture and the weight toMelissa Kirk or Laura McBrideto get it recorded at NexTrex.
Although we had 4 entries in the Q2 drawing we did not win a prize in the drawing. But we did recycle a lot of plastic and did a bit of good for the environment!
To celebrate this area of focus, the Kutztown Rotary Club held a baby bundles drive in the months of July and August and, along with the Strand Theater, sponsored a double feature movie for the community to view a movie in exchange for a baby item donation.
Members delivered the Baby Bundles donation items to Friend, Inc and got a tour of the fabulous new facility. We enjoyed a pizza dinner from Tommy Boys and got to hear all about the renovations (current and future) and the amazing big plans Friend has to help the community.
Please follow this link to see more pictures of the Baby Bundles Drive.
