RECENT "SURPRISE" TESTIMONIAL From Kate Szumanski
"There is nothing like working with someone who knows exactly what she's doing. The experience is not only
enjoyable but also comfortable and relaxed. Many photographers can take good photos, but Avi Loren Fox
brought other intangible qualities to our shoot: an experienced artistic eye, in-depth knowledge of our location,
and kindness in the ways she interacted with each member of my family. Avi took great care to capture the
quiet moments and the more playful ones, and everything in between." - Kate Szumanski (full review here:

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 receptacle 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!
