On Sunday evening, a full-capacity crowd gathered in the pavillion at the Knox Community Park for a meaningful Memorial Day Service honoring "250 years of remembrance." 🇺🇸
Members of the Knox Civic Club hosted the tribute to the brave men and women of the United States military who gave their lives in service to our country and our freedom.
May we continue to honor their legacy of sacrifice and courage, as we remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Here are a few photos from the memorable event. Photos are identified in the comments.

The Civic Club was honored to host a very special day on Thursday! A new lighthouse monument was placed in the Keystone Elementary courtyard in memory of former members, Jeanne Graff and Anna Peck. Jeanne and Anna started the Lighthouse Awards in 2001, to recognize Keystone Elementary students who led by example in the areas of Politeness & Courtesy, Citizenship & Respect, Self-Control, Work Ethic & Responsibility, Best Friend & Helper, Most Improved, and Hardest Worker. The families of Jeanne and Anna were on hand for the new lighthouse dedication, and to help hand out 110 awards to students. Many thanks to all who donated supplies and helped to build the new monument, and congratulations to all of this year's Lighthouse Award recipients!

PSSSST.... Have you heard the news? Peanut Park is getting pickleball courts! It's a big project, so we're looking for sponsors to donate money, materials, or services to make it happen. Businesses who contribute may get a PA state tax credit through the Neighborhood Assistance Program. All levels of donations are welcome and appreciated! Please help us to spread the word and reach out soon if you would like to help!
