To the Editor:

On March 23, Garrett Rhoads and the Eastern Pa. Business Owners sponsored an electronics recycling event at Willow Lane Elementary School.

At a meeting of the Angel Networks of the East Penn schools, Mr. Rhoads offered to collect donations on their behalf at the recycling event, which he presented solely as a service to the community.

However, Mr. Rhoads used the event to campaign, both verbally and with literature distribution, for the East Penn school board. He permitted two other candidates to campaign as well.

As a nonprofit, the Emmaus High School Angel Network does not participate in any political campaign nor does it support or oppose any candidate for public office. Its mission is to provide resources for students in need.

The Emmaus High School Angel Network wishes to clarify to the community it was not informed there would be any political activity at this event and disavows any association with these or any campaigns.
