Good Morning, Upper Merion!

Welcome to Tuesday! If you’re looking to get into the holiday spirit, Salvatore’s Trattoria and Pizzeria is serving up more than great food—they’re collecting toys for CHOP kids and helping spread some cheer.

On the community front, the West Conshohocken Planning Commission is looking for new members! If you’re ready to make a difference locally, applications are due by January 6th.

And High School sports fans, it’s a big day for our Vikings—don’t miss Tuesday’s varsity showdowns. Our student athletes deserve all the support we can muster for them. #GoVikes

Keep on reading for everything else happening today!

Ciao for now!
