Happy Retirement Fred!
A (very important) Message from the Narberth 4th of July Committee:
The 4th of July fireworks will be here before you know it!! The fireworks (and daytime activities) are put on by
the Narberth 4th of July committee. It costs the committee a great deal of money to put on the fabulous display
that you enjoy seeing every year! To help offset the cost, we need collectors to help collect the donations from
those that are coming to see the fireworks display. We need MANY collectors to make this event a success.
If you would like to volunteer some time at night (from about6:30 to 9:15) to help us collect donations, please
email Kathy & Fred Hansell at [email protected].
It's really a lot of fun and will be very rewarding for you knowing that you are helping to support the 4th of
Julycommittee and the great fireworks that you will be seeing!!
The website (narberthfourthofjuly.com or narberth4thofjuly.com) and our Facebook page - Narberth Fourth of
July have all been updated with all the latest information and times for the day!
Run + Beer = Fun!

Otters,
This weekend, June 28th, Narberth RFC will be hosting a mini-tournament for flag rugby from 12:00-2:30. I am
in need of 10 volunteers to assist with refereeing matches as we will have a total of 5 fields and close to 100
players in attendance. This is a great opportunity for you to advance your knowledge of the game by refereeing
younger players. The rules for flag rugby are very simple, think youth soccer, and I will review them with you
prior to the tournament. You will each be assigned to a field to referee kids in one of the age groups (K-2nd
grade, 3rd-4th grade, 5th-6th grade, 7th-9th grade).
Please email me directly that you are available. I will then get back to you by the end of the week with
assignments and a schedule.
Thank you
Coach

We’re getting ready! Narberth T-Ball and Coffee’s season is over (post Coffee and Sundaes) and we’re finally
getting down to all this summer business.)
We start this Sunday with our famous Narberth Music and Arts Festival from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM in our
Downtown (Narband and Zing Kings!) and we head right into preparations (i.e. is your blanket in place?) for our
all Day and Night 4th of July Festivities! (I’m getting excited just explaining it all to you..)
Join us (and stay awhile) for all our wonderful Narberth celebrations!
A (very important) Message from the Narberth 4th of July Committee:
The 4th of July fireworks will be here before you know it!! The fireworks (and daytime activities) are put on by
the Narberth 4th of July committee. It costs the committee a great deal of money to put on the fabulous display
that you enjoy seeing every year! To help offset the cost, we need collectors to help collect the donations from
those that are coming to see the fireworks display. We need MANY collectors to make this event a success.
If you would like to volunteer some time at night (from about6:30 to 9:15) to help us collect donations, please
email Kathy & Fred Hansell at [email protected].
It's really a lot of fun and will be very rewarding for you knowing that you are helping to support the 4th of
Julycommittee and the great fireworks that you will be seeing!!
The website (narberthfourthofjuly.com or narberth4thofjuly.com) and our Facebook page - Narberth Fourth of
July have all been updated with all the latest information and times for the day!

Civil War, elite opinion tended to favor the Confederacy, while public opinion tended to favor the Union Forces.
The Confederacy believed that British dependence on cotton for its large textile industry would lead to diplomatic

Thank you to all who volunteer, donate and support ending hunger in our community.
In order to facilitate donations to the Narberth Food Bank, the Narberth Community Library has become a Drop
Off point for donations. There is a recepticle just inside the library front door, in front of the circulation desk.
We hope this will make it easier for library patrons and other Narberth citizens to drop off much needed
donations at a time that is convenient for them. The library is open from 10:00 to 8:00 - Monday thru Thursday
and 10:00 to 5:00 - Friday and Saturday. www.NarberthCivic.org/news is now publishing a self-updating notice
of items currently needed for donation to the food bank at the Narberth Family Resource Center. The needs
change regularly, and so will this list. I hope this will facilitate more efficient giving. Please remember the food
bank! Even just a few extra cans or items from
a trip makes a difference. There is significant and regular need right here in Lower Merion & Narberth. Check
out the article space in the top right hand column of NarberthCivic.org/news under Family Resource Center of
Narberth. Thank you for your support!
