Kreutz Creek Library will host its spring sale on Friday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will be held at the Hellam Township Public Works Building, 44 Walnut Springs Road, York.

Honoring the trees in Columbia
BY CATHY MOLITORISSpend some time in Columbia, and you can’t help but notice the trees. The small borough has been recognized by the national Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA for more than three decades. To celebrate, the Columbia Shade Tree Commission, the Columbia Park Rangers and Columbia Borough will host the 32nd annual Arbor Day event on Friday, April 26, beginning at 6 p.m. It will be held at Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, 41 Walnut St., Columbia.
“This event is held to recognize both the importance of trees and the many benefits they provide us and also our fellow community members who devote their time and resources to help maintain our urban forest,” said Julie Lehmer, chair of the Columbia Shade Tree Commission. “All are invited and encouraged to participate.”
Columbia Borough manager Mark Stivers will serve as master of ceremonies, and the Rev. Daniel Mitzel of Holy Trinity Church will offer an invocation. A variety of community groups will participate in the program. Boy Scout Troop and Cub Scout Pack 35 will lead the

In addition to books, the sale will feature baked goods for purchase, including cookies, brownies and cupcakes.
Managed by the Friends of Kreutz Creek Library, the book sale raises funds to support operating expenses of the branch, which is part of the York County Libraries system. “That includes a portion of staff salaries and benefits, costs to add to library collections - books, magazines and movies - and facility operating expenses,” Ritter commented.
On Saturday, from noon until the sale ends, all items will be sold at a 50% discount. Ritter also
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALDAccording to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, more than 15,000 Pennsylvanians are known to be homeless on any given day. Housing instability and crises can stem from a multitude of factors, affecting men, women and children across the state. In Lancaster and Chester counties, nonprofit organization Good Samaritan Services (GSS) is working hard to combat homelessness by offering a variety of
resources to individuals who are experiencing a housing crisis. One of GSS’ largest fundraisers is an annual golf outing that is made possible by a partnership with Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. (EPC). The 17th annual EPC Golf Outing will take place on Friday, June 7, at Crossgates Golf Club, 1 Crossland Pass, Millersville. Tee times will be at 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Golfers may also purchase tickets for prize drawings that will feature items donated by businesses in the local community. Food will

be included in the cost of admission; breakfast for the morning group will be provided by Joe on the Go Coffee Co., the afternoon golfers will receive a boxed lunch from Trio Bar and Grill. Morning and afternoon golfers will be able to enjoy a meal from Peters’ BBQ when they finish their respective rounds.
A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available. “On the same day someone becomes a sponsor, a real person on the other end has a place to call home and has security for tomorrow because of them,” said Nate Hoffer, chief executive officer of GSS. “We’re so grateful for the support from EPC and its efforts to support organizations like us. It’s impressive how much dedication and time they put into this event.”
“EPC’s longstanding partnership with GSS, alongside with members from our community, has demonstrated that individuals in need can rely on their communities for support, enabling them and their families to rebuild and thrive,” noted Jocelyn Engle, EPC publisher.
On average, GSS has served 300 people per day and 72,000 meals every year since its founding in 1999. The organization, which began with a single location in Phoenixville, has since expanded to include additional facilities in Lancaster city, Coatesville and Kennett Square, along with a new office Ephrata, which was built last year. The continued expansions have allowed GSS to greatly increase the size of its staff, in addition to the number of people it is able to serve through its programs - and it couldn’t come at a better time. “We really are serving record levels of people; we’re on pace to serve 800 women and children this year, which is a 25% increase from 2023,” Hoffer said. “Our focus is on continuing to respond to the needs of our communities across Lancaster and Chester counties.”
The many programs offered by GSS include seasonal shelter during the cold months, emergency housing to address clients’ basic needs and transitional housing as individuals receive assistance to
meet their goals. According to Hoffer, these programs are primarily sustained by funding that comes from individuals and businesses in the community. “What we do provides such a critical, basic need, but the reality is that 98% of our budget comes from the good will of the people in our communities,” said Hoffer. “It keeps
our doors open and our programs running.”
Registration for the EPC Golf Outing may be completed online before Wednesday, May 29. For more information or to register online, visit https:// epcgolfouting.com/register. To learn more about GSS and its programs, visit https:// goodsamservices.org.

noted that the book sale relies on support from outside businesses and organizations, including Flinchbaugh’s Orchard and Farm Market, Jack Giambalvo Family of Dealerships, Hellam Fire Company and Hellam Township.
Members of the community help with the sale by setting up, staffing and cleaning up afterward, said Jennifer Johnson, library manager. “It’s like a well-oiled machine,” she remarked. “At the event, you can’t help but notice the energy and enthusiasm of the volunteers.”
She noted that she’s always impressed with the community support for purchasing books as well. “People’s enthusiasm for books continues to amaze me,” she said. “People still enjoy the look and feel of print books. The excitement and anticipation for the sale shows us how much this community has a heart for literacy and understands the value of supporting its local library.”
The Friends of Kreutz Creek Library accepts
donated books throughout the year. Open donation dates are posted at the library or can be found at www.yorklibraries.org/ hellam-kreutz-creek.

Golfers support Good Samaritan Services by taking part in the annual EPC Golf Outing.
Through getaways, PA Family Travel Fair brings people together
BY JEFF FALKSometimes we try too hard. Sometimes we overthink things. Sometimes the answer is right in front of us.
The PA Family Travel Fair has a unique way of simplifying things. The lively event focuses on recreation, on Pennsylvania, on family.
“Recreation is so important to your well-being,” said Wendy Royal, organizer of the PA Family Travel Fair and editor of Where & When Pennsylvania. “It’s crucial to your health to check out of your job. It can just be a long weekend. But it’s time with kids too. It’s important for families to spend time together. It’s important to get away and make those memories. You only get 18 summers with your kids.”
The sixth edition of the annual PA Family Travel Fair, hosted by Where & When Pennsylvania, will be presented on Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at a new location, John Bonfield Elementary School, 101 N. Oak St., Lititz. The event is free to attend.
“There’s nothing else like this in the state of Pennsylvania,” said Royal. “We call it a travel fair because it’s fun and informative. I’m amazed by how little people know about things to do in Pennsylvania. I’ve had so many people say to me, ‘Why doesn’t the state do this?’ The state of Pennsylvania tourism office’s job is to bring people in.
Our goal with the travel fair is to keep some of those tax dollars here. We’re trying to get people to spend some of their money in our state.”
More than 40 exhibitors will be represented at the PA Family Travel Fair, including visitor’s bureaus, museums, state parks, amusement parks, historical sites and Keystone State destinations. The low-pressure, laid-back atmosphere is enhanced by food trucks, live shows, giveaways, face painting and balloon artists.
In addition to substantial giveaway drawings from exhibitors, Where & When Pennsylvania will be giving away a Potter-Tioga getaway for four. The grand prize includes four nights of lodging at the Penn Wells Lodge; passes to museums, attractions, and tours; food vouchers; and more.
“We cater to our exhibitors,” said Royal. “They’re handing out free information. The cool thing is you get to talk to someone. You get first-hand knowledge and advice from someone who knows. When you’re there, it’s a lot of fun because we involve the kids.”
According to Royal, Pennsylvania is a unique travel destination.
“You can’t really compare it to other states,” said Royal. “The country was born in Pennsylvania. It all started in Philadelphia, and at one point, Pittsburgh was the wild west. So much has happened here. There’s so much history, and there’s so much fun.”
The PA Family Travel Fair was started in 2018 as a way to meet a need for affordable family vacations. Since then, the need for recreation or for family togetherness
hasn’t changed. In fact, if anything, it has grown stronger.
“Way too many of us are leaving vacation days on the table at the end of the year,” said Royal. “(Family vacations are) a time when we can connect. We encourage families to spend time together and disconnect from technology. There are a lot of fun things to do with the family, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Or you can make it a history trip.”
