With Flag Day coming up, wanted to remind folks that my office collects American Flags ready for proper retirement and gets them to a local service organization in advance of Flag Day. Please bring any flags you might have to my office any time of year, but I know a lot of people replace flags this time of year and are looking for a way to properly retire them.

School is out for summer, South Whitehall! 🏫🎒

-With summer break officially starting today, our neighborhood streets, parks, and bike paths are about to get a lot busier with excited kids. We need everyone's help to keep our community safe over the next few months.

Drivers, please keep these critical safety tips in mind starting today:
🔹 Slow Down: Stick strictly to the speed limit in residential neighborhoods and near local parks.
🔹 Stay Alert: Expect the unexpected. Kids riding bikes, chasing basketballs, or walking with friends might not always see you coming.
🔹 Ditch the Distractions: Keep your eyes completely on the road—putting your phone down saves lives.

Our officers will be keeping an extra close eye on residential zones and park areas to ensure everyone has a safe start to the summer. Let’s look out for one another! 🤝🚘
