Church Farm School

Thanks to presenting partner DNB First and dozens of other event sponsors, the 17th Annual CFS Golf Classic raised more than $100,000 for the school’s mission of providing a financially accessible education to its 180 young men.

It was a blustery day at the Coatesville Country Club, but that didn’t dampen spirits. The more than 100 people in attendance enjoyed meeting some of CFS’s seniors, hearing the choir perform the National Anthem, and playing 18 holes on a beautiful course.

Congratulations to the Hankin Group team, which took first place. CFS’s student-golfers took a very close second.

Delaware County Community College

Surgical Technology students at the college are once again joining the Association of Surgical Technologists across the nation in an effort to “gLOVE” the world one person at a time.

Surgical technologists, generally found in operating rooms helping surgeons into sterile gloves, want to extend their caring hands to help warm residents in need. Students are collecting gloves, hats, scarves, and outerwear for local shelter residents. Collection boxes are being distributed throughout the college’s Marple Campus, as well as at clinical sites throughout Delaware, Chester, and Philadelphia counties. The campaign runs through Dec. 1.

For more information on the “gLOVE” campaign, please call Anne Marie O’Shea, instructor of Allied Health, Emergency Services, and Nursing, at 610-517-6928.
