Friends of Gracedale Foundation Established

Scott Parsons and Bob Werner

Former NorCo Council member Scott Parsons may no longer be a member of County government, but is still involved in County service. He was at Council's April 21 meeting to announce the establishment of the Friends of Gracedale Foundation, a non-profit charitable corporation that will be able to accept tax-deductible donations for the county's nursing home.

"It's good to see most of you," joked Parsons,who was joined at the podium by Council member Bob Werner, with whom he formed a close friendship during his tenure on Council.

"We're here to help," he added.

Though the Foundation will target corporations and philanthropists, anyone who wishes to make a tax-deductible contribution may do so with a check that can be mailed to Friends of Gracedale Foundation, Post Office Box 138, Nazareth, PA  18064.
