Welcome to the Friday, October 16, 2015 Edition of NarbNet!
“Have you ever wondered what would happen, if all the geniuses, the artists, the scientists, the smartest, most
creative people in the world decided to actually change it ? Where, where could they even do such a thing ?
They'd need a place free from politics and bureaucracy, distractions, greed - a secret place where they could
build whatever they were crazy enough to imagine...”
Narberth? A roundabout?

Narberth Community Food Bank Summer update!
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!
