Here’s what else is going on in South Whitehall Township this week:

• The weather may start out Monday morning seeming unseasonably warm, but wet, but don’t let that fool you. Temperatures will start to plummet by mid-day and conditions will be downright frigid after nightfall. On Tuesday, the temperature may not exceed single digits. A warm-up is expected by the end of the week, however.

• The South Whitehall Township Board of Commissioners meet for a reorganization session and meeting at the township building on Walbert Avenue at 7 p.m. Monday.

• The Parkland Community Library hosts its monthly Night at the Movies at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Every month the library hosts an exclusive screening of a unique and often award-winning film. Under the licensing agreement, the library is not permitted to list titles. Please call or come into the library for the information.
