Attorneys At Law
One of our favorite team traditions is to spend an evening watching another great team, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs! We braved the chilly spring weather, enjoying a terrific time at the ballpark as the Iron Pigs scored an amazing 13 runs to win their game vs. Louisville, 13-1.
The results are in from this year’s Five Alarm 5K and Two-Mile Fun Run! Thanks to the efforts of 72 runners, 28 business sponsors, 26 raffle prize donors, and many volunteers, $6,000.00 was raised as a result of the November 4 event.
We recently had the pleasure of joining our event co-presenters — Bucks County Community College’s Upper Bucks Campus and Sisters U — to present the proceeds. The Perkasie Volunteer Fire Company received $5,400.00, which they will use to buy accessories for the BullEx BullsEye portable fire extinguisher training unit they purchased with the 2016 Five Alarm 5K proceeds. The Bucks County Community College Foundation received $600.00 for firefighter scholarships.
“We’re grateful for the initiative and generosity of the presenting organizations,” said Brian Irvin, Perkasie Fire Company president. “This is the second year that they’ve come to us with the desire to do something for the fire company. These funds will definitely be put to good use.”
The Five Alarm 5K is a timed race, with timing services provided by Pretzel City Sports. Stephanie Savastano repeated her win in the Women’s category with a time of 20:39. Ethan Saville’s run time of 17:08 earned the overall top spot in the Men’s category.
Our traditional night at the Lehigh Valley IronPigs game was made even more special by getting to see Ryley, daughter of our Administrative Assistant Carey Michalak, throw one of the ceremonial first pitches. Great job, Ryley!
Our fun evening outing was capped off with a fireworks display.
It’s no cliche; we really do thrive on giving back to our community. This year we held a Holiday Food Bag Drive to benefit the families served by our friends at Pennridge FISH.
The result? Nineteen bags of food destined for the tables of local families in need. Each bag contained a complete holiday meal including applesauce, yams, green beans, fried onions, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, cranberry sauce, corn, canned fruit and a ham.
We are longtime supporters of Pennridge FISH. In addition to attorney Michael Kracht serving on the board, our 2015 Winter Clothing Drive – thanks to you and the help of local businesses – yielded 897lbs of clothing.
We recently bid farewell to our beloved co-worker and friend, Karen Chellew. After 30 years with the firm, most recently as firm administrator, Karen is moving on to exciting new endeavors. To say we will miss her is an understatement but she will always be a part of our “work family.”
We are equally eager to introduce you to our new firm administrator, Dacey Keller, which we will do in an upcoming blog post.
