Plymouth-Whitemarsh in the News

Because no one can be everywhere:

Montco couple's gift transforms library

Philadelphia Inquirer

"Over a decade of multi-million-dollar philanthropy, Nicholas and Athena Karabots of Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County, have channeled much of their largesse to major urban institutions the likes of the Franklin Institute, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Museum of Art.

But no project has gotten the kind of hands-on attention the two have lavished on a tiny, little-known library in Lafayette Hill, less than four miles from home."

They never seem to see a fresh planting of hyacinths or daffodils at Easter. If a Christmas wreath ever added any warmly seasonal remembrance as the snow piled up on a grave, it was probably a long time ago.

One family is making sure that at least on one holiday every year, the resting places of American veterans are being honored."
