Lansdale Borough has announced that they will be participating in “Bells Across Pennsylvania Day” in support of first responders, healthcare workers and essential employees, and their ongoing efforts during the coronavirus pandemic.
On May 3, area residents and churches are asked to ring bells at 7 p.m. for three minutes, with each minute representing one of the following principles:
To recognize and honor first responders, healthcare workers, and employees of grocery stores, pharmacies and other life-sustaining businesses who have maintained essential services while at risk of infection from COVID-19;
To show solidarity with elected officials and residents of municipalities across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, all of whom are fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines together; and
To demonstrate a collective resolve that Pennsylvanians will prevail over COVID-19 and work tirelessly to ensure that their businesses and civic life will thrive once again.
”Our first responders and healthcare workers have been hero’s during this pandemic,“ said Lansdale Mayor Garry Herbert. “It is appropriate that we recognize their hard work and sacrifice as we continue to fight through this challenging time for our community. While we cannot gather in person, we are still a community that values one another and the dedication and passion of those working on the front lines. To that end, I encourage all residents in Lansdale to participate by ringing any bell they own at 7 p.m. on May 3.”
“Bells Across Pennsylvania Day” is an initiative of the Pennsylvania State Mayors’ Association. Mayors and elected officials are encouraged to hold whatever events are feasible within the restrictions of the stay at home order and ongoing social distancing and mitigation efforts.
