2015 GNEC Holiday Ornaments Feature Temperance House

Area residents can add a touch of historic Newtown to their Christmas trees with special edition Greater Newtown Exchange Club (GNEC) holiday ornaments on sale starting November 28th. Each year’s edition features a notable Newtown landmark. This year’s ornament features the historic Temperance House located at 5 South State Street in Newtown. GNEC sells these ornaments with the assistance of local merchants as a charity fundraiser.

They can be purchased at five First National Bank & Trust locations: the Main Office on State St. in Newtown and at the Newtown-Yardley Road, the Wrightstown, the Langhorne and the Washington Crossing branches. The $10 ornaments also will be sold at Newtown Hardware House, McCaffrey’s of Newtown, Acme of Newtown, the Temperance House and Countryside Framing located at 2 South State Street. In person sales locations will include 7 Eleven in Newtown.

Over the past 18 years, more than $70,000 has been raised via GNEC ornament sales and donated to local charitable organizations such as Family Services of Bucks County, A Woman’s Place, Network of Victim’s Assistance (NOVA), Interfaith Housing, Bucks County Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired and Pickering Manor.
