Most obituaries published in the Reading Eagle are submitted through funeral homes and cremation services, but we will accept submissions from families. Obituaries can be emailed to obituaries@readingeagle.com. In addition to the text of the obituary, any photographs that you wish to include can be attached to this email. Please put the text of the obituary in a Word document, a Google document or in the body of the email. The Reading Eagle also requires a way to verify the death, so please include either the phone number of the funeral home or cremation service that is in charge of the deceased's care or a photo of his/her death certificate. We also request that your full name, phone number and address are all included in this email. All payments by families must be made with a credit card. We will send a proof of the completed obituary before we require payment. The obituary cannot run, however, until we receive payment in full. Obituaries can be submitted for any future date, but they must be received no later than 3:00 p.m. the day prior to its running for it to be published. Please call the obituary desk, at 610-371-5018, for information on pricing. The Camel Project will host a free public forum focused on youth violence prevention, healing and shared responsibility. The program, titled Power in Unity: Accountability to Our Community, will take place Nov. 15 at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, 201 Washington St. The event will feature presentations by three community organizations: Bethany Children’s Home, Green Building Alliance and The Camel Project. Representatives of each organization will share what they are doing to address violence, the progress they’ve made and what support they need from the broader community to strengthen their impact. The forum will also include a special tribute to local youth lost to violence, honoring their lives and reaffirming the community’s commitment to meaningful change. “Accountability starts with showing up for each other,” said Pamela S. Gockley, founder and executive director of The Camel Project. “This event is about more than conversation; it’s about compassion, connection and commitment to real community-driven action.” The program will wrap up with an open dialogue session, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and explore collaborative next steps to reduce violence and strengthen community trust. The Camel Project encourages area residents, educators, service providers and youth advocates to attend the free forum. Founded in 2018 by Pamela S. Gockley, The Camel Project is dedicated to preventing violence, suicide and bullying by addressing trauma and promoting positive behavioral change. The organization provides boots-on-the-ground training, education and community initiatives that build awareness, accountability and hope. If you go What: Power in Unity: Accountability to Our Community, free forum hosted by The Camel Project. When: Nov. 15, 9 a.m. Where: Boscov Theater, GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, 201 Washington St. Free and open to the public. Free onsite parking.
