LVGR and AOW Presents Checks to Local Hospices

LVH.jpg

Officers from the Lehigh Valley Garden Railroaders and the Staff of America On Wheels Museum recently presented checks to representatives of both St Luke's Hospice and Lehigh Valley Health Network Hospice.

 

The funds represent a portion of the proceeds of ticket sales during the 2017 Holiday Train Display at the AOW Museum located at Hamilton and Front Streets in Allentown.

Each year the museum allows the LVGR club to designate recipients for the donation, and this year, after the recent deaths of a number of club members, LVGR choose these two dedicated hospice organizations.
