Last week we presented a check to The Bridges Foundation-Bavts for their partnership with us at our annual Nite at the Races! We are happy to be able to support such a meaningful organization and their mission of supporting BAVTS students and investing in the workforce of the future.

We were also joined by Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School students Tess, Joey, and Parker. All three students are enrolled in the Protective Services program and provided insight regarding their experiences at BAVTS, as well as their future aspirations.

Diane Donaher presented updates on the Pollinator Garden and other ongoing projects at Centennial Park. She also discussed a global grant initiatives focused on mental health and wellness.

The slate of board directors and officers for 2026-2027 was submitted for approval:

• Lauren Quintrell
• Cheryl Doll
• Diane Donaher – President Elect
• Lori Knerr - Treasurer

The slate was unanimously approved by voice vote. No nominations were received from the floor for secretary or vice president.
