Events - Candidates Forum - October 14th, 2009 7:30 p.m.

Every Election Year, the Narberth Civic Association sponsors and runs the Candidates Forum on behalf of the citizens of Narberth.

In support of the upcoming election in the Borough, the Narberth Civic Association on October 14, 2009 at 7:30 p.m., will sponsor a Meet the Candidates Forum following the 7:00 p.m. Fall Membership Meeting at Borough Hall in Narberth, PA.

Box 88, Narberth, PA 19072.
