LCCS Plans Second Legacy Workshop BY ANN MEAD ASH
h en describing the thought process behind presenting Legacy Planning for Uncertain Times, a financial workshop to be held at Lancaster County Christian School (LCCS), Doctor Sandy Outlar, who works in community relations for the school, turned to John Wesley, Methodist Evangelist and famous theologian, for inspiration. “‘Make all you can, save all you can, and give all you can,’” quoted Outlar. “I think that sums up what we’re trying to do.” He added, “We want to be maneuvered in God’s hands as to what we do with what God has given to us. This (workshop) is meant to be inspirational and informative.” This year’s workshop, the second held by LCCS, will take place in the large lobby of the school at 2390 New Holland Pike, Lancaster, on Saturday, March 13, from 9 a.m. to noon. The workshop will consist of
“(Attendees said) they appreciated learning ways to get the most out of investments and provide funding for beloved organizations (t h e y w o u l d ) l i k e t o support.” “Tax Paying With a Purpose” will be presented by Jason McDougall and will explore ways to redirect funds and utilize tax strategies. The final workshop, presented by Lamar King, will be “Investing in Periods of Fear.” Material will look at keeping stewardship purposeful in times of uncertainty. Outlar said that positive
feedback from the 2020 workshop, which was attended by more than 50 people, inspired the school to schedule another one. “(Attendees said) they appreciated learning ways to get the most out of investments and provide funding for beloved organizations (they would) like to support,” he stated. “There was praise for the quality of the speakers and the content.” Outlar added that the upcoming workshop is designed for people who may not have spent much time thinking about estate planning and who might “appreciate getting more out of their money with certain types of investments.” The workshop is free and open to the public, but those wishing to take part are asked to register by calling 717-556-0711, ext. 213, or emailing soutlar@lccs.cc by Wednesday, March 10. A continental breakfast and child care will be provided. More information about the workshop may be found by visiting www.lccs.cc.

Debbie Luther, market facilitator for the Vintage Revival Market, recently recalled the origins of the gathering. “A group of ladies used to meet in a Walmart parking lot to share vintage items found at yard sales and auctions,” said Luther, adding that she thinks those meetups began around 2012. Eventually the group began holding markets at an Akron church, and the event was held at that location for some time.

Lancaster Mennonite High School (LMHS) senior Eden Addisu had been receiving emails from Questbridge, a nonprofit scholarship program for exceptional students from low-income backgrounds, for quite some time; however, she had not seriously considered applying to the organization. But during the COVID-19 quarantine, Addisu had more time than she might have had school been meeting on campus. “I thought, ‘Why not?’” said Addisu. The application process for the Questbridge College Match program has been called rigorous. Addisu noted that the application includes four essays rather than just one and that the deadline in September of 2020 of each year is earlier than most programs require. She completed her application for submission in early Eden Addisu, a Manheim resident and senior at Lancaster Mennonite High School, will attend Brown University on a Questbridge scholarship in the fall.
September 2020, and she learned on Oct. 20 that she was a finalist. More paperwork was required by Nov. 1, and on Dec. 1, she received the news that she was a scholarship recipient and had been matched with Brown University, her first choice for college. Addisu was elated.
