Thank you. From the Ambridge Connection team Dear Larissa & Felicia, I've been meaning to send you a message for a very long time, but am just sitting down to do so now. I just wanted to thank you both for all you are doing for Ambridge. I am not a resident of Ambridge, and have never lived in Ambridge. My mom was born and raised there, and lived there until she married my dad in her 20s. They moved to the North Hills to raise a family. Growing up, my brother, sister, and I spent nearly every weekend in Ambridge at my grandparents', as well as a lot of our summer vacations.
