We're proud to promote Arcadia University students' Callie Lutter and Dana Smith's fundraiser for Cheltenham Township's Emergency Medical Services. Come out today, April 20th, for family activities like face-painting and raffles.

Don't forget to stop by Rita's in Elkins Park and show this flyer. 20% of all proceeds will go to support Cheltenham's Emergency Medical Services. Come out, check out the firetrucks, ambulances, and police cars, eat some water ice (or custard!), and ease into the weekend!

So here is one of the things that happened when we went on ASB this year!🐶

The students found the homeless dog while helping to repair houses in hurricane-ravaged Dickinson, Texas. Then they raised money to save him - and bring him to Pennsylvania.

We are pleased to announce a cost decrease for the upcoming Alternative Spring Break in Texas!

The trip has been REDUCED from $625 to $450. This price change comes from the fact we are now working with United Methodist's Texas Recovers. This group manages long term recovery efforts and have just begun their rebuilding efforts this month.

We have remaining openings to fill so if you know anyone interested in attending this trip please let them know about the price drop and direct them to us!

If you have already payed the full $625 you will be refunded the $175 unless you wish to donate the remainder to the trip.
