Delmont-Salem Rotary Club
Delmont Salem Rotary does many great things for our Borough. When I attended the Rotary meeting following their annual Steak-Fry, I was appalled to hear the condition of the kitchen at New House Park. Evidently there was ice left that melted and produced mold and the kitchen sink was backed up.
I realized it was not the money as much as the stress of a small group of volunteers trying to pull off a successful event. Delmont has two public works employees who do an amazing amount of work all around the Borough. One of the employees was off the day before the event. I know that just prior to the event they were very busy with some sewage repairs.
I am not trying to make excuses for the conditions of the Park. Perhaps this is a wake up call that the Borough ought to hire another Public Works worker at least in the summer to adequately care for Shield's Farm, New House Park, The Wigfield parklet, Borough Building property, Sewage Issues and other duties.
I am deeply sorry for all the inconveniences you suffered, because we did not have the Kitchen ready for your event. I hope you will continue to hold Delmont Community events within our Borough. I realize that there are other venues that could accommodate this event, and appreciate you choosing to keep it here.
