Mensch Offers Palmer/Forks Office Hours

State Sen. Bob Mensch is offering office hours across the 24th Senate District and both sites locally are in Palmer and Forks Townships.

As part of his commitment to make state services readily accessible to his constituents, Mensch’s extensive outreach program involves regularly scheduled visits by staff members to assist constituents in their hometowns throughout the 24th Senatorial District.

"During these tough economic times, it is essential that government agencies continue to find ways to reduce costs.  Utilizing public libraries, municipal buildings and community centers, we have been able to expand our services and make ourselves more readily available to residents."

Mensch kindly asks constituents to call before visiting the district offices since inclement weather may alter the hours. 

Scheduled visits under Mensch’s outreach program include:

Northampton County

• Forks Township Community Center, 500 Zucksville Road, Easton, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on the first Tuesday of every month.
• Palmer Township Memorial Library, 1 Weller Place, Easton, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month.

Information about pending legislation, state laws, agencies and programs is also available at Senator Mensch’s website: www.senatormensch.com. The website also provides special sections of interest to senior citizens, veterans and kids and links to other governmental and civic organizations.

"Constituents can contact me through the website, sign up to receive periodic updates on issues and events in Harrisburg and around the 24th Senatorial District and may contact my office to schedule appointments outside of normal operating hours," Mensch said.  Constituents may also follow Senator Mensch on his Facebook page by visiting www.facebook.com/senatormensch.
