A fun fact though is that back in the early 90\u2019s and from 2010-2012, I lived in Hellertown, PA. So, it is great to be back in town again! I look forward to being actively involved in the Hellertown community. I am also eager to meet new faces while seeing familiar ones too. Thank you, Hellertown, for having me. My Rita\u2019s team and I look forward to serving you in the 2022 season and beyond!\u201d<\/p>\n
