HAMILTON TOWNSHIP 272 MUMMERT’S CHURCH ROAD ABBOTTSTOWN, PA 17301 OFFICE (717) 259-7237 From the Secretary at Hamilton Township: Hamilton Township has been very busy these past few months. The Road Crew has been patching roads and filling pot -holes. Residents in East Berlin will be happy to know that within the next few months, Hamilton Township will be re-surfacing Beaver Street. The office staff and our intern from Penn State, Christopher Bianco, have been working on our own Newsletter that will come out in the fall. Regrettably, Hamilton Township has had to cease recycling services here at the township. In the past few months, someone has been taking any and all of the bags of aluminum cans and some of the barrels that Adams Rescue Mission provides, have disappeared. We have also had problems with people dropping off items that cannot be recycled and discarding these items is costing the township. Board meetings are held the 1st Monday of each month. Planning Commission meets on the 3rd Tuesday each month. http;//twphamilton.com CONGRATULATIONS!

This was EBACC’s 3rd Year of providing Summer Enrichment Camps to the children in our community and were the most attended to date with 21 camps to chose from over 9 weeks of the summer! The 263 campers had as much fun playing and learning as the instructors did instructing this summer! Each week, there were 30 to 50 campers that tested themselves both physically and intellectually. The campers chose from either a sports related camp or leisure camp such as arts/crafts, theater, cooking, or jewelry making. We kept our favorites, arts and crafts, cooking, sports sampler, basketball, volleyball, playground games, cheerleading and dance. We added a few new camps; Lego, Science Experiments, Soccer, and Martial Arts. Our most popular camp this year was science experiments. We had quite a few explosions and lots of chemical reactions. Whatever camp the children chose, there was always a huge smile on their faces at the end of the day and a wish that the week was just a few more days longer. A special thanks to all our camp leaders, camp assistants, and the community center volunteers who helped make our summer so fun and successful. We could not have achieved EBACC’s summer camp program without the staff, volunteers and the children working together. Remember to tell all your friends what an awesome year you had at EBACC’s 2015 Summer Enrichment Camps and we look forward to seeing you again in 2016! TAIL CHASERS GROOMING & PET SUPPLY STORE 503 W.
