EAST STROUDSBURG, MORNOE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Veterans Day is Monday, November 11 and we are highlighting one of the many organizations that honors those who have served in the United States Military.

Promoting Americanism and fellowship among veterans, that is the goal of the American Legion George N Kemp Post 346 in East Stroudsburg.

“We’re always looking for people that need our help,” continued William Groome, U.S. Navy veteran/American Legion adjutant, “something simple as just food to help somebody. It could be oil to help heat their home. We’re always active with the youth of the community.”

The post is one of five in Monroe County alone, with more than 200,000 members across all of the keystone state.

Happy Birthday to Ms. Krause, who devotes herself to the musical each year and the arrangement of the German exchange student program.  Ms. Krause is also an Toronto Maple Leaf hockey fanatic.

Three level one SHS students placed in the “Anything Goes” competition in the MCTI Cosmetology program hosted by Advisor Leatha Nonnemaker. First place was snagged by Zoey Balcik, ‘27, and third place winner was Jorai Hunter, ‘27. Isabella DeFalco,’27, won the Most Original category. 

The competition gave students a chance to use their creativity while designing both everyday and original looks.

DeFalco said, she adapted the style to her liking but was “using skills [she]  had recently just learned like Dutch braiding small sections and curling the hair with a Marcel iron.” 

This competition allowed students to showcase their growing talents in the MCTI cosmetology program.
