GOTR Fall Registration To Open

By Ann Mead Ash

Seniors looking for retirement community apartments that allow couples to remain together longer even as they face health issues will find more options in the Wheat Ridge Apartments to be constructed at Fairmount, 333 Wheat Ridge Drive, Ephrata. When the organization broke ground for the 45-unit building, which will offer 11 different floor plans, on July 23, president/CEO Jerry Lile shared how Fairmount has been paying attention to the needs of potential residents. “Over the past two years, we heard from those on our waiting list that we should create more independent units because of growing demand in our market,” he said. “We have listened, and after numerous planning sessions, we are ready to begin.” See Fairmount pg 10

The Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society (LMHS) takes on such a challenge with by-the-box discounts beginning on the third day of its annual Bookworm Frolic. On the final day, the box price will be even lower. Although LMHS provides boxes, bookworms may bring their own. “The rule is for it to count, you have to be able to lift (the box of books) yourself,” explained Joel Nofziger, LMHS director of communications, who added jokingly, “Don’t bring a refrigerator box.” See Bookworm Frolic pg 2
