Welcome to the Friday, July 15, 2016 Edition of NarbNet!
Are you a traveling Narb or a staycation Narb?
Whether you’re here or over there (or wherever), please remember you have a great big little town (hey, what a
great title for a song) to support!
Our merchants and restaurants stay here and await your return (just like the dog), but don’t forget them!
Before you head out (or in) do a little shopping, pick up a bite to eat and spend some money in our downtown.
Buying local keeps your money local and helps our great little big town economy.

following divisions; K Rookies, K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6th grade. Your division is based on the grade you will be

Pool Survey for the Cynwyd Club:
As you may have heard, the Cynwyd Club, a private club on Trevor Lane in Bala Cynwyd
(www.cynwydclub.org), is contemplating the elimination of three tennis courts and their replacement with a
members-only pool, and has obtained all necessary zoning approvals from the Lower Merion Township
Zoning Hearing Board to do so. Once land use plans are complete and approved, opening of the pool and its
related facilities can be expected in the summer of 2017.
In order to assess interest among its neighbors in this undertaking, the Club has composed a brief survey that I
ask you to complete (see link below). The Club is especially eager to attract new members from the
neighborhood to invigorate and expand its membership.
Accordingly, please assist by answering this brief survey.

Many thanks to all who volunteer, donate and support the NARBERTH COMMUNITY FOOD BANK to help
end hunger in our community. We also thank the Narberth Community Library for having a receptacle by the
circulation desk for much-needed donations of non-perishable food items to make it easier for library patrons
and other Narberth citizens to drop off donations during library hours (10:00 to 8:00 Monday to Thursday and
10:00 to 5:00 Friday and Saturday). The food bank is always in need of canned chicken/turkey/tuna,
unsweetened hot or cold cereal, granola bars, jelly, canned fruit, popcorn, rice, quinoa, boxed milk and gluten-
free pasta, soups and crackers. A few extra cans or items from your shopping trip makes a difference to help
address the significant need right here in Narberth and Lower Merion. Of course financial support is also
always welcome and donations can be made online through PayPal
