Touring Bryn Athyn with Chief Odhner
|
I had the honor of being invited by Chief Odhner to ride along with him throughout Bryn Athyn last Tuesday. We drove through the borough enjoying the beautiful day and discussing the needs Bryn Athyn has and how I might be able to help.
If you haven’t been—or haven’t been in awhile—it’s a wonderful time of year to tour the streets, wooded areas, and architecture of this historic district.

My office is full of new faces ready to help you!
Join me in greeting, Grace, Marty, and Leslie to my District Office in Hatboro. They join Laura and Sue to round out my staff. Stop in to say hello and ask what we can do for you.

I’ll let them introduce themselves in their own words:
“Hi, my name is Grace Stewart, and I am the new Constituent Services Advisor for Representative Nancy Guenst! I am from Harrisburg and I recently graduated from Penn State University with a Political Science major degree. I’m excited to be back working in government after my previous work with the Pennsylvania Treasury Department and a Legislative Fellowship through the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. I’m looking forward to learning more about Hatboro and Montgomery County and getting to work with people in the community!”
“Hey there, I’m Marty Henley. I most recently come from Montgomery County Voter Services where I helped staff and trained pollworkers who serve you on Election Days. Before that I was a trainer at Reed Technologies which employ a lot of folks in our area. While both were important work, I am overjoyed to come work for Representative Guenst as Communications Advisor and to serve you all.”
“My name is Leslie Jones. I recently retired as a teacher in the Lower Moreland Township School District, where I enjoyed teaching first and second grade for more than 30 years. I also volunteered in Hatboro in different capacities over the years, and I’m excited to be back helping the community through Representative Guenst’s office.”
