will meet on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. at St. Anne’s Retirement Community, 3952 Columbia Ave., Columbia. The club will host Eleanor Isaacson, a World War II survivor. Born in New Jersey and abandoned at age 2, Isaacson grew up in Hitler’s Germany. She survived the Nazi regime before she reached her teens. She left Germany for the United States just as the Iron Curtain was closing. The World War II Oral History Club meets on the last Tuesday of the month except December. All World War II veterans and family and anyone with an interest in WWII history are invited to attend. Anyone who is a WWII veteran or who has a family member or friend who would like to share their experiences may call 717-319-3430.

Volunteers at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 409 Cherry St., Columbia, will be hard at work in the kitchen in the coming weeks as the church’s 96th annual Fastnacht Bake commences. Fastnachts were traditionally made on Shrove Tuesday as a way to use up all of the fats in the kitchen before Lent, which runs from Ash Wednesday to Easter. At Holy Trinity, the Fastnacht Bake started with a group of ladies from the parish that decided to make and sell fastnachts as a fundraiser for the construction of the church building. Jim Knapp, who runs the fryer room, emphasized that the Holy Trinity fastnachts are made with yeast and a “very little bit” of lard and are fried to golden brown perfection in vegetable oil. “A true fastnacht cannot be a cake

doughnut,” noted Knapp. Plain and glazed options are available, but according to Knapp the glazed fastnachts are the bestsellers year after year. “The glaze is a top-secret recipe,” he added. All fastnachts must be preordered at www.holytrinitycolumbiapa.com. The website opened for online orders on Jan. 19 and will remain open until sold out. Plain or glazed fastnachts may be ordered by the dozen and picked up at the church on any of the bake days. Fastnachts will be baked on Monday, Feb. 24; Tuesday, Feb. 25; and Wednesday, Feb. 26. After that, fastnachts will be baked on Mondays and Wednesdays during the four weeks of Lent, with the last bake on Wednesday, March 25. Doors will open at 10 a.m. for pickup each day. Any not picked up by 1 p.m. will be sold on a firstcome, first-served basis. See Fastnachts pg 5
