Week in Review: May 1-7

Did you miss any of this week's news?

There isn't always time to sit down and read the news. So in case you missed any of the week's stories. Here's a look at what happened in the greater Media area over the course of the week. The week started off with President Obama's huge announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed by U.S. Navy Seals. Media Patch talked with a military family who welcomed home their daughter from Afghanistan just a day earlier and they were able to celebrate with her. Dining Under the Stars kicked off on Wednesday, well kind of, since it was a bit rainy that day. Penncrest's AM Prom committee moved the venue this year to Springton Lake and surely all the students will have a fabulous Prom night Saturday. Check out these stories below and more to get a full recap of all the week's news.
