What a night in Aston! 💙💛

Thank you to everyone who came out on Tuesday to celebrate the launch of the DSA of DE, Delaware County Chapter. From the minute families started coming through the door, you could feel the excitement. It was so good to see longtime Delco families, a few new faces, and our Delaware friends who made the trip to celebrate with us.

A big thank you to the Aston Fire Department for hosting, and to Lauren DiPasquale, Kelsey Mango, Christa Ventura, Lauren Camp Gates, and Susan Blessington for sharing what’s ahead for Delco. And thank you for all the great questions and suggestions. Keep them coming!

Couldn’t make it? We missed you! You can learn more about the chapter at dsadelaware.org/delaware-county-chapter.
