Rotary Drive Up candy giveaway
The Quaker Valley Rotary Club will host a Drive Up Halloween Candy Giveaway from 10 a.m.-noon Oct. 31. The location will be curbside on Thorn Street in front of the Sewickley Borough Building. Enter Thorn Street from Peebles Street and continue on Thorn to the Borough Building. As a special treat, ROMO, the Robert Morris University Mascot, will make a special appearance. All current COVID-19 mandates must be followed.
Fall leaf collection
Sewickley’s fall leaf collection program will continue through Nov. 20, weather permitting.
Leaves are to be placed along the street line and not in the street. Placing leaves in the street can cause sewer backup and entice children to play in the leaves on the street, which creates a dangerous situation.
Brush, grass and shrubbery clippings are not to be mixed with leaves. Grass and shrubbery clippings are required to be bagged for weekly garbage collection. Branches must be cut to four-foot lengths and bundled; Waste Management, the borough’s waste collection hauler, will not pick up branches unless this is done. The borough will only pick up branches after a storm. Leaves that are not put out for collection during this time will have to be bagged for regular waste pick up.
Beth Samuel Jewish Center virtual programs
BSJC will host all programs through Zoom until further notice. Upcoming programs include:
Sisterhood Book Club, “The Last Kings of Shanghai: The Rival Jewish Dynasties That Helped Create Modern China” by Jonathan Kaufman, 7 p.m. Nov. 4.
Todd DePastino of The Veterans Breakfast Club presents “History of Hobos,” 7 p.m. Nov. 12.
