LI pray Saavni is found safe & returned to her family. I heard the Amber Alert on WIP. I pray that whoever took this precious baby do the right thing & leave her in a public place where she'll be found by someone who will call 9-1-1 and tend to her till authorities arrives. This makes me heartsick....

pray to the grandmother and baby if it was drug related her fault for going into it but sadly the chance of finding that baby is very low... due to the lack of experiance with suburbia police but the state police will do alot of help

I would really, really, really like to know who "we" are and where you got your information? Your comment reflects your intelligence, somewhere close to a rock, without the moss.

People are simply ignorant. The pastor of my church on West Marshall Street is daily picking upRead More empty snack bags, soda cans, and trash that either walkers drop, or motorists throw. We tried to get a trash can, and the borough refused.

Mary Ellen, if you would like to share a neighborhood for The Norristown Project to clean, bringRead More pictures of the area when you come to the Moore Street cleanup. Our volunteers pitch ideas for future cleanups which is how we decided on Moore Street. Maybe Kohn or Main will be a project in July. The possibilities are endless as long as we have volunteers coming out and pitching these ideas.

Dang! I wish I read this when it was posted. I would have loved this opportunity! I know a girl atRead More NAHS who just started a club called F.L.O. (For Ladies Only). The discuss fashion, beauty, etc. If they knew about this they could have fund raised to be apart of this. Being that its one month away, I doubt $750 will be just lying around. I hope Harcum will offer this next summer as well, it's a great school and a wonderful opportunity to get the skills needed to survive in the Fashion Merchandising realm of College.
