Our Hambden Grange 2482 is back for another season of amazing pancake breakfasts. The next one is a Valentine pancake breakfast on Feb. 15 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The all-you-can-eat breakfast includes pancakes with maple syrup, corn fritters, fruit, sausage, juice, cocoa and coffee.

The cost is $7 for adults and $3 for children 10 and under. The Grange is located at 9778 Old State Road in Hambden.

Fox 8 Cool School

Thanks to everyone who voted to make Hambden Elementary School the Fox 8 Cool School last week. The video was awesome and showed what a really wonderful school Hambden has filled with great teachers and students.

Township Hall Rentals

If anyone is interested in renting the hall for a gathering, please call administrative assistant Mary Ann Dottore Tuesday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. You can also leave her a message and she will get back to you the next business day.

Lately, there has been a real problem with persons renting the hall leaving cigarette butts in the area near the side doors. We realize that the smoking area is across the parking lot, but this is the only area where smoking is permitted and there is a receptacle there for disposing of cigarette butts.

The rental agreement has recently been amended to provide that if the road crew has to clean up this area after use because of this problem, the $100 security deposit will be forfeited.

Please read the agreement carefully when renting the hall and abide by all regulations. We want to keep it available for our residents, but the road crew is small and they don’t have time to clean up after rentals. Please note that the hall is only available for rent to Hambden Township residents.
