At Lansdale Borough Council's work session Wednesday, no department was off limits in being thanked and commended for its response before, during and after Hurricane Sandy. A special reception honoring staff is set for Nov. 28 at 6 p.m.
No department in the Borough of Lansdale was overlooked Wednesday night as councilmembers thanked and commended those who prepared before, and responded during and after, Hurricane Sandy. Chief Robert McDyre told the public safety committee Wednesday that the police department weathered the storm very well. He said eight officers were assigned to each of the three shifts.

In light of the recent super storm, Hurricane Sandy, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the hundreds of staff working for both KenCrest and Lynch Services, two large nonprofits supporting people with special needs and autism in the Delaware Valley, Delaware State, and Connecticut.

Working in human services organizations, the supports we provide are around-the-clock, through bad weather, 24/7, empowering the lives of people with disabilities. Together, about 50 KenCrest and Lynch community living homes and facilities supporting people with special needs lost power. Our staff …

I would like to give a big THANKS to everyone that came out to help make the Lansdale Cruise Night another great borough event that Lansdale can be proud of and an enjoyable fundraising event for Manna on Main Street. With perfect weather on hand the streets of Lansdale was a rolling car show. A large variety of vehicles cruised back and forth through town while onlookers filled the sidewalk benches. Some further THANKS to the Borough of Lansdale, the Lansdale Police Department, Discover Lansdale and especially all of the Lansdale area businesses that gave in some form in support of the cruise. And a final THANKS to my co-organizers Debbie Henning, Ray Liberto and Tara McNally, along with a handful of other people that helped out. And …
