Since there is a lot of talk about the 4th of July Committee, we would like to speak for ourselves. Here is our official statement:
After nearly 80 years, we, the Narberth 4th of July Committee, have made the difficult decision to dissolve our corporation and not continue with our events moving forward. Our events over the years are vast and include the Easter Egg Hunt, Summer Concert Series at the park, 4th of July daytime events and evening fireworks, Halloween Parade, and Santa at the Train Station.
This was not an easy decision as many of our members have been involved for literal decades. A HUGE factor in this decision has been lack of volunteers. Also, changes in leadership within the Borough has lead to decreased support. Our mission from the beginning has been to give back to the children of Narberth and we have stuck to that mission from the beginning. Purchasing playground equipment, sponsoring sports teams, and providing an enjoyable space at the Narberth Park gazebo for friends and families to gather, to name a few.
While it has been years of a lot of hard work and struggle, it has been our pleasure as a community organization to provide these events and we hope that the community will remember these traditions and fun memories and potentially find a way to make new memories and traditions moving forward.
