History
The Allentown Police Athletic League was chartered in 1956 as a perpetual organization. Under the direction of Marty Romig and Gene Gallagher 90
boys and girls bowled at the old Wal-Ten, Rialto and Boulevard
Lanes. The bowlers set up their own pins until automatic machines were
installed. In 1958 Gallagher was replaced by Ernest Lilly (LT. in traffic).
In 1960 Lilly was replaced by Andy Posch (Lt. School Safety and assisted
with PAL). In 1968 Roemig was replaced by Wilbur Held. In 1976 Held was
replaced by John Schaffer. In 2003 the PAL program was discontinued by the city.
John Schaffer continued to run the program in a reduced manner until the city
reinstated the program in 2006. At that time Schaffer decided to work in the
background and he was replaced by John Guido. Some of the programs that were
held over the years were bowling, rifle safety, football, baseball, fireworks, summer
camp called Camp Blue Line, Marathon, Basketball, Golden Hearts-giving during
Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas), Square Dancing, Wrestling and a
Home Run Derby. We have also done sponsorships for karate, Parkettes, summer
camperships to the Boys and Girls Club of Allentown and a scholarship fund.
As you can see PAL has done much over the years and has touched the lives
of thousands of our children making them a better and productive citizen.
