Grant Will Help Fund Honey Brook Library Expansion Development. The grant was presented to the library by state Sen. The Honey Brook Community Katie Muth on Oct. 12. In addition to library staff memLibrary will nearly double in size thanks to a $1.14 million grant that bers and community members, parit received through the Department ticipants in the grant presentation of Community and Economic ceremony were Jennifer Spade, library director; Rocky Avvento, president of the library Board of Trustees; and Joe Sherwood, executive director of the Chester County Library System. “I met with Rocky and Jennifer, and we talked about how much more this library could give the community if adequate space was available,” said Muth, who holds monthly office hours at the library. “They presented a building program report that was prepared in February of 2019 deeming that the current square footage of the building was insufficient to serve the constituency effectively and deliver the over 275 programs that the library has to offer.” Sen.

The sailboats are being operated by members of the Chester Springs Model Yacht Club (CSMYC), which was organized more than 12 years ago to “promote remote-control (RC) sailing and to encourage others to take up the sport, learn and have fun.”
Chester Springs Model Yacht Club members recently hosted a national competition at Tel Hai Lake.
The club currently has 22 members, who sail four times a month at Tel Hai Lake between April and November and take part in competitive races. “We have skilled craftsmen in the group who build their own boats,” noted club commodore John Stoudt, who builds, restores and collects the model yachts. Other members, he noted, buy their boats already assembled. Club members, who pay a yearly membership fee to participate, come mostly from Chester County, although other members are from Montgomery and Delaware counties and the state of Delaware. Stoudt explained that the ships are maneuvered on the water by skippers, who use hand-held batteryoperated controllers. “There are two (steering) servos in each boat. One servo controls the sails, and one the rudder,” he said. “You have to be a good sailor, understand the boat setup and sometimes do repairs.” See Model Yacht Club pg 5
