NEW BETHLEHEM – While many nonprofit organizations in the area are struggling to keep going due to the aging of their long-time members, some recent activities show the many benefits of working together to get young people involved for their benefit and that of the community. That was evidenced recently with several cooperative efforts in the New Bethlehem and Brookville communities that paired up local organizations with the area's students. In late April, through coordination with Redbank Renaissance, Boy Scouts from Troop 403 in New Bethlehem helped clean up Gumtown Park, the Red Bank Creek Gardens near the New Bethlehem dam and the gardens known as the 'Bear Patch' next to Evermoore's Restaurant.
