TriCounty Community Network to host walk

TriCounty Community Network will host Mercury Mile on Wednesday

LOWER POTTSGROVE » Join The Mercury Mile on Wednesday afternoon to combine networking and walking.

The weekly community stroll is a great opportunity to meet new people and get some exercise in at the same time. The TriCounty Community Network is hosting this week’s walk. The walk will begin at noon Wednesday from the organization’s office in the SunnyBrook Village plaza. The address is 2151 E. High St. in Lower Pottsgrove.

“TriCounty Community Network (TCN) is a nonprofit organization that provides support services for other nonprofit organizations in the Greater Pottstown Area. In addition to building the capacity of our nonprofit community, TCN also provides meaningful and sustainable partnerships to fill community needs. We continue to find new and better ways for organizations, agencies and the greater community to work together to solve community issues that cannot be solved by one group alone,” said Holly Parker, TCN executive director.

“One of TCN’s newest initiatives is The Amazing Raise. The Amazing Raise is a giving challenge that brings together the region to help raise needed funds, shining a spotlight on the work of nonprofit (organizations) in the TriCounty Area. For every dollar raised by a participating nonprofit organization on Oct. 17, 2017, a funding match will be provided,” Parker said. For more information about The Amazing Raise, visit www.amazingraisetricounty.org. For more information about TCN , visit www.tcnetwork.org.
