Former Resident Gives Back, Again

Over the past two years, former Nazareth resident Thomas Ullman, has given $1,750 to the Borough of Nazareth, simply as a thank-you and way to give back to the community he still considers home.

Amazingly, he left at the age of 12 when his family moved. He now resides in Florida.
