After almost six years of living next to Daron Northeast, Tom Prendergast knows to place the china securely toward the back of the cupboard.

PLAINS TWP. – Not only is 2008 the University of Pennsylvania Alumni Club of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s 100th anniversary, making it the university’s oldest club in the world, but it also marks the 302nd birthday of Benjamin Franklin – a celebration the group holds yearly.
Although Franklin’s birthday was actually in January, the alumni group met Sunday at the East Mountain Inn to commemorate the day. Franklin is the founder of the university.
Each year, the alumni group picks a fun topic to celebrate. This year, the group chose “Ben and Me,” a book written by Robert Lawson in 1939, which tells a fictitious tale of how a mouse named Amos is really the one to be credited with all of Franklin’s great inventions.
