More of a recreation complex than a community, the society applied to have their recreation center designated as a separate municipality in 1977. The borough of S.N.P.J. was created so that the society could, among other things, get its own liquor license. North Beaver Township, the municipality in which the center was originally located, restricted the sale of alcohol on Sundays (blue law).

It has 60 rental cabins, 115 mobile home slots, and an artificial lake. It is open to the public as a summertime resort and facility for bingo, weddings, and dances.
