Almost Like Being There PA Family Travel Fair Goes Virtual By Ann Mead Ash
When Wendy Royal, editor of Where & When Pennsylvania and organizer of the third PA Family Travel Fair, realized that the 2020 fair, which was scheduled for April 18, would have to be canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions, she was heartbroken for the more than 50 exhibitors. When she learned that all of them were committed to doing the 2021 event, she wanted to do something to help them. On April 21, Royal finalized plans to take the fair virtual starting during National Travel and Tourism Week, which was held from May 3. The virtual PA Family Travel Fair launched on May 4 and will continue through Saturday, May 30. The virtual fair can be accessed at www.whereand when.com/virtual-pa-family-travel-fair or by using the QR code found with this article.

Reaching 1,400 Girls At Home By Ann Mead Ash
CWM
Under normal circumstances, Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a 10-week in-person program that couples physical activity with specific lessons to help develop competency in areas related to social, psychological, and physical development for girls in third through eighth grades. The GOTR curriculum is designed to promote good choices for a lifetime of self-respect and
healthy living. However, since mid-March, the 1,400 girls in Lancaster and Lebanon counties who were to take part in GOTR this spring have not been living in normal circumstances. Since they are not attending school due to COVID-19 restrictions, they are not able to meet with their coaches and teams regularly after school. GOTR has responded to this situation with two new virtual lessons released each Tuesday as part of the GOTR At See GOTR pg 2
The Oles family of Manheim Township, including (from left) Luke, Mary Beth, Mary Kate, and Mark Oles, is taking part in the Girls on the Run At Home curriculum by completing weekly lessons that include discussions and exercises based on a specific theme.
Volunteers Make Masks For Seniors Milagros “Millie” Ortiz of Columbia recently led a project to aid senior citizens who may not have masks to wear during the COVID-19 pandemic and who may not be able to purchase masks. Millie, who attends the Miracle Center Church in Mount Joy, decided to create 140 masks to deliver to Trinity House Apartments in Columbia. Millie did not know how to sew and did not own a sewing machine or have the finances to purchase the materials needed. Friends and family partnered with her to help her reach her goal. Millie’s boyfriend purchased a used sewing machine for her, but the machine broke. She then borrowed another sewing machine from Heather
Lindsey of Creation Inspirationz. Millie’s sister, Jessica Ortiz, who attends Columbia Presbyterian Church, and her friend Ana Elliott of the See Masks pg 3
Milagros “Millie” Ortiz (center) made masks with assistance from her niece Alize Ortiz (left) and her friend Ana Elliott.
