Last call and final call for the Dormont Video Game Summit! This is an awesome opportunity for the youth of Dormont to tell us what they want to see from their local government. Whether an experienced gamer or a noob, join Borough Manager Ben Estell for some fun gaming and to talk about what Dormont can do for its youth. Among Us and Rocket League will be the focus as they are popular and free so everyone has a chance to play. Don’t be an imposter, this is for the youth of Dormont. Let’s stick to middle school through early college if you’re sus, you’re out! If you, or someone you know (we’re looking at you, parents) are interested, please have them contact Ben at [email protected]. Games will be recorded and clips may be used for an upcoming video, but video will consist of gameplay and audio only.

THANK YOU, Dormonsters! Last week, we asked for your help to reach our donation goal of 30 for our Vitalant Blood Drive. Not only did we hit the 30 donation goal, but we crushed it with 45 total donations! Great job and thank you again!
