PASR Delaware County Chapter volunteers lead by John DellaGuardia, chair of the Social Services Memorial Honor Fund repacked, tagged, and delivered Poinsettia to our members in retirement communities and nursing facilities. Our members look forward to this event each year and appreciate the efforts of our Chapter in sharing holiday wishes.  Helping to make our 2018 deliveries our members, from left to right, Nancy Graham, Bob Cenname, Chris Eaton and John Della Guardia. Our PASR Delaware County Chapter held it’s Fall Luncheon at the Granite Farms Estates on November 1, 2018 featuring a Celebration of Service. Awards were given to individuals that provide service to our Chapter and to the greater community. Their acts of service and volunteerism exemplifies our motto - To serve not to be served. The awardees are listed below with the title of their award.
In keeping with the theme of service and giving and the efforts of our Community Services Committee, attendees brought donations of non-perishable food for the Bernardine Center and warm clothing items for Kozy Kidz.  Sue Stevens receives the John J. Dillion Service Award from Harry Hill past award recipient. In 2018 PASR established the Fred A. McKillop Award honoring the memory of former PASR longtime lobbyist Fred A. McKillop. This award was given to Steve Kupsov, immediate past president of the PASR Delaware County Chapter. Steve received the award at the PASR 2018 Leadership Conference for his longtime work and advocacy in promoting the PASR legislative positions and for educating members about the importance to actively advocate with legislators for the welfare of public school retirees. Steve is the chair of our Chapter Legislative & L/PEC Committee. Information on the efforts of the Committee can be found on our L/PEC page.

In July members of our Chapter and friends enjoyed a luncheon buffet and show at the Candlelight Theatre in Arden Delaware. The show Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? was both poignant and funny. For more RECREO trip information check out http://www.delcopasr.org/recreo-trips.html .    The Delaware County Chapter of the Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees (PASR) marks the 80th anniversary celebration of PASR by donating 80+ books to the Bernardine Center in Chester Pennsylvania. The mission of the Bernardine Center is to provide a helping hand to low-income Chester area residents. The book donation will be used as part of the family education programs offered by the Center. Chapter volunteers helped label each book with a bookplate commemorating the 80th Anniversary of PASR. This Spring, members enjoyed two RECREO events a day at the Phillies Game at Citizens Bank Park and a trip to the Museum of the American Revolution. Immediately after the Phillies vs. Giants game seniors were invited down on on the field for the Seniors Stroll the Bases event and to top off the day the Phillies won!
During the visit to the Museum of the American Revolution members got to explore the dynamic story of the American Revolution through its collection of Revolutionary era artifacts, dioramas, films, & interactive exhibits. Learn about the entire period from colonial unrest to the Treaty of Paris. A special treat was seeing the multimedia show of George Washington’s Tent.
