\"\"<\/a>The recent passing of Tyrone Salvation Army Service Center volunteer chairperson Bob Maser put into question how the Service Center would move forward.
\nMaser spent countless hours over the years keeping the service center up and running.
\nThose worries of who would run the service center were put to rest when members of Maser\u2019s family stepped up to fill his position.
\nHis step-daughter, Sheri Hartsock, will now be the volunteer chairperson, and she will be primarily taking care of the books and managing the overall activities of the center. Maser\u2019s wife, Arlene, will continue to run the store as she has been doing for many years now. His step-son, Ron Beckwith, will be helping with the kettles during the Christmas season.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been working with Bob all along, so it\u2019s not like we\u2019re stepping into it not knowing what we\u2019re doing,\u201d said Hartsock. \u201cWe know how he did it and what he did. It\u2019s just going to be different not doing it with him.\u201d
\nThe community needs a place like the Tyrone Salvation Army Service Center, and if it wasn\u2019t for Maser\u2019s efforts, a place like it might not exist.
\nIt was unclear if services would continue in the area when it was announced in June of 2004 that the Salvation Army Worship and Service Center located on Tenth Street would close its doors to the community.
\nHowever, numerous volunteers, including Maser, stepped up to take on the responsibilities of the local Salvation Army by continuing its services to the community as a service unit. This allows for the Salvation Army to offer the same services to those in need in the Tyrone area, which includes Tyrone, Bellwood and Warriors Mark.
\nFirst, the Service Center housed its office at the Tyrone Social Center then moved to its present location of 908 Pennsylvania Avenue.
\nHartsock said that\u2019s why she felt it was so important to step up and take on the responsibility of running the service center.
\nShe added, \u201cWe just didn\u2019t want to see all of Bob\u2019s hard work be lost.\u201d
\nHartsock said that volunteer co-chairperson Reverend Norman Huff has offered to help, and Major Karen Garrett said she would also help. Major Garrett was stationed at the Salvation Army Worship and Service Center located on Tenth Street before it was closed, so she knows the Tyrone area community well.
\nThe regularly scheduled hours at the Tyrone Salvation Army Service Center have recently changed. The new hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon.
\nAlong with helping those in need with their household bills, the Tyrone Salvation Army Service Center is able to furnish clothing and food items.
\nIt always accepts donations of clothing and food items. It also accepts appliances, bedding, etc.
\nMonetary contributions can be mailed to: Salvation Army Service Center, P.O. Box 142 Tyrone, PA 16686 and can also be dropped off at the 908 Pennsylvania Avenue location. The phone number is 684-1664.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
