Today, we solemnly remember the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting. For me, this tragedy is deeply personal, as some of the victims and survivors were people I knew through my work in the Squirrel Hill community. The pain of seeing a familiar place and community marred by such hatred is indescribable. My heart is with the Pittsburgh community, the survivors, and those grieving this unimaginable loss. May the memory of the victims be a blessing and serve as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to combat antisemitism and hate. Together, we must build a future grounded in compassion and understanding.

On Sunday, November 3, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., older adults aged 65 and over are invited to a complimentary day filled with health presentations, food, fun, and fitness.

Participants can enjoy a variety of activities designed to promote well-being, including blood pressure screenings and 20-minute fitness classes.

The day will be infused with a Philadelphia Eagles pre-game theme, adding a festive spirit to the event. In addition to the health-focused offerings, there will be prizes, discounts, and opportunities for social interaction. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to engage with your community and take steps toward a healthier lifestyle!

Deadline extended until October 30!

Here's your monthly reminder that Haverford Township households interested in diverting their food waste (and pizza boxes) through a curbside composting service can try FOUR months of free composting service! This is limited to NEW customers only, one per household. 600 incentives are available.

Residents directly contact and contract with their composting service provider of choice or EZ Composting or Mother Compost. For both companies, residents sign up directly on their website. The location of the household triggers either enrollment in the incentive program or an alert that the household is eligible for it.

Funding for the Residential Curbside Composting Incentive Program is provided through a USDA Composting and Food Waste Reduction (CFWR) grant.

This Sunday, October 27, stop by the Skatium for our final 50th anniversary public skate celebration!

There will be a D.J. playing all the hits, plus cupcakes for skaters to enjoy, and more!

The party begins at 12:15 p.m.
