South Side Civic Association of Easton, Penna.

On a different note, please remember with the Holiday this Monday, trash pickup will be a day later than normal.

As we are unable to gather at Mc Keen Park this year, to memorialize our family members and neighbors who gave their lives in times of war, and as we are also unable to participate in the grand parade through our downtown for the same propose, let us take a moment this weekend to offer a prayer or thought for their service to keep us free.

Just want to mention Miller Hardware in West Easton is open for Buisness
