Helping Decorate the National Veterans Cemetery for Memorial Day 2016

Alan Agree, Jerry Redington and Irv Perlstein pitched in and assisted the Guardians of the National Veterans Cemetery in Washington Crossing in planting new flag poles and raising new flags to honor those comrades in arms laid who have been laid to rest at the Cemetery.  It is one of several annual projects undertaken by the Guardians with which Club members volunteer their time.

Adopt-A-Highway Spring Clean-up

This morning, the members of the Club braved the threatening rain and picked up trash along its adopted highway on Yardley-Langhorne Road,  its participation in the State’s semi-annual “Great American Cleanup of PA” program.  While empty soda & beer cans, plastic bags & bottles and an occasional hub cap are the most visible items, the team was surprised by the hundreds of cigarette butts discarded by careless drivers along the roadway.
