| + | steps. | ||
| - | + | 1. Pick up the trash that blows around the borough. Trash is to be kept in | |

| + | community. | ||
| - | + | 3. Enjoy the Spring air and sunshine with your family and friends! | |
| - | *Our Volunteer Fire Company enjoys the support of our community because they courageously answer the call to protect our Borough as well as the surrounding communities. They also take time out of their schedules to assist the Lion’s Club Pancake Breakfast, to provide for the safety of our children during Trick or Treat and help to deliver the Borough Newsletter. These dedicated individuals deserve our respect and thanks. | + | |
| - | |||
| - | *For the second year, the “Scarecrows” are enjoying the Fall season. The Scarecrows have prompted many positive comments from Borough residents and residents of surrounding communities and they demonstrate the sense of community that Paxtang enjoys. Started at the suggestion of an Avenue resident, the Scarecrows are quickly becoming a seasonal highlight. | ||
| - | |||
| - | *While the candy seems to be never ending, the Halloween season is drawing to a close. Many thanks to the Lion’s Club for another tremendous Halloween parade and to the Paxtang Firefighters, Police Officers and Fire Police who offered their services to provide a safe and enjoyable Trick or Treat night to our children. It was such a wonderful evening to watch all the children (and adults) in their costumes parade through the Borough. | + | Warmest Regards, |
| - | + | Mayor Stambaugh | |
| - | *In September Paxton Presbyterian celebrated their 275th anniversary which makes them the 2nd oldest Presbyterian Church in the United States. Congratulations to the congregation members and Pastor Green!! | ||
| - | |||
| - | Paxtang also recognizes: | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | *The newest Borough attraction in the grassy land at the entrance of the Greenbelt. Built as service project by a local Eagle Scout and tended by a Borough residents, this will be enjoyed and used by many future generations. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | *The Hospice and Visiting Nurses Association's First Annual Butterfly Release to remember those who have passed before us. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | *The re-opening of Town and Country Day School which once again has children’s voices and laughter filling the hallways. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | *Finally, I encourage all residents to support our local businesses. It doesn’t have to be “First Friday” to support a local restaurant. After school, after soccer or baseball practice, before a meeting, take a short walk, greet a neighbor and dine out in Paxtang. | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | We are Paxtang proud! | ||

Spring has arrived!
The flowers are starting to bud and I began my yard cleaning once again. As I was raking leaves and cutting branches, I thought it would be nice to have a community wide cleanup in April and May. I hereby challenge the residents of Paxtang to roll up their sleeves this spring and start with a few simple steps.
1. Pick up the trash that blows around the borough. Trash is to be kept in bags and placed in trash containers with lids. Spring time brings furry creatures, young and old looking for food. They will stay where the food is plenty. Proper trash receptacles will deter the animals and avoid the mess for you and your neighbors.
2. Straighten up outside your home as you would inside your home. Maintain lawns and flower beds and keep the weeds or grass from growing to the height of small children. I know I am personally in constant battle with the weeds on my property during the summer months. I wouldn't ask for perfect properties as we are all short on time however, keeping weeds maintained makes a huge difference in the curb appeal for your home and our community.
3. Enjoy the Spring air and sunshine with your family and friends!
Warmest Regards,
