The organization is struggling in another way, as well, noted Linda Good, vice president and a member of the archives committee.
“People don’t know we’re here,” she stated. “We want to get the word out that we’re alive and well.” Good, a former teacher, hosts programs for homeschoolers and presents history lessons at local schools, hoping to encourage young people to help preserve Maytown’s past.
“We need to start with the young people, because when you get the kids involved, there’s hope for the future,” she shared.
Good has also been instrumental in setting up an ongoing display at the Maytown municipal building focused on the historical society to help spread the word about the group.
Fundraising for the society and museum includes special events throughout the year, such as Mayfest, which the group plans to host in May of 2022. The society will also host a speaker series beginning in November and a will hold a picnic for members and prospective members on Tuesday, Sept. 14, at 6 p.m. The museum is open on a flexible schedule, said Skip Nell, president of the society. “We are really available anytime,” he noted. “If someone wants to come by, just call and we can meet you.” Gordon said the society’s mission is not only to preserve history, but also to preserve the very organization created to fulfill that mission. “An awful lot of work, time and effort went into creating the museum and starting the historical society,” he stated. “We want to see both continue.” For more information, search for “Maytown Historical Society” on Facebook.

Although educational goals, skill building and job attainment are always on the forefront for adult learners entering our program, skilling up after the pandemic takes on a whole new meaning and will be an important step for many workers who lost their jobs during COVID-19 restrictions. For some, it will mean improving basic literacy in reading, math, or English. For others, it will mean career exploration and sharpening skills to move into postsecondary education or training.
The Success Centers in Lancaster and Lebanon counties are places where adults can get the support they need to build skills so that they can transform their lives, sustain their families and strengthen their communities.*
What skills and knowledge do you have to share with an adult student to help them reach their goals?
