My friend and Infinity member Sue mentioned that she saw a 5 cent deduction on her Shop ‘n Save receipt last week, and she thought it might have been a credit for using her Infinity reusable bags. Sure enough, I stopped for a few groceries and there is a 5 cent deduction for my reusable bag on my receipt! (Click on the photo for a cool effect.) If I only use my bag once a week, it will pay for itself in less than a year!
Don’t have your reusable bags, yet? Visit the link in the upper right corner of this page, or call 724.548.5897 for information.
Thank you, Shop ‘n Save.

Dennis Cramer’s retirement concert last evening not only benefited the ACCF’s Michael Petronchek Musical Scholarship Fund, it benefitted the audience as well! Kudos to all the performers for a wonderful evening. We are so blessed in Armstrong County to have so many musicians and artists who generously share their talent with us.

I heard so many enthusiastic comments afterwards, all echoing Karen Hughes, “This was a treat!”
West Hills Primary Elementary School asked for a grant to help fund an “outdoor classroom.” In partnership with the Armstrong School District Education Foundation and other groups, the ACCF’s Richard G. and Barbara A. Snyder General Charitable Fund provided West Hills Primary teachers and students with a resource center, a butterfly garden, and butterfly habitats, so the students could experience hands-on learning.

Mr. Paul Treacy, Kindergarten teacher and Penn State Master Gardener wrote the grant application and invited me to share the fun. I was so privileged to be invited to the butterfly release–it is great fun to see the joy and excitement of the children! We got to be in the middle of a Painted Lady Butterfly “dance” as the freed insects explored their new habitat outdoors.
