Helping Veterans This Holiday SeasonThe holiday season is a good time to consider giving to programs that support Pennsylvania veterans, active military and their families. The four tax-deductible programs administered by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs are the Military Family Relief Assistance Program, the Veterans’ Trust Fund, Residents’ Welfare Funds, and the Pennsylvania Veterans’ Memorial Trust Fund. You can find information on these programs and how to donate online or by mail here. Mock Senate With Scouts and Students
It was a pleasure to meet with Scouts from Tafton in my Hawley District Office and with students at Ross Elementary School this month to discuss the role of a legislator and to hold a mock Senate session the boys and girls could participate in. I always enjoy getting the chance to sit down and talk with our future leaders, listen to their questions, hear their concerns and discuss all of the posirive things going on in our schools and communities.
