Katherine Leaman has been involved with the Marietta Community House for more than 10 years, and she said it all started with a love story. “I went on the Marietta Candlelight Tour and then to an after-party at my now-husband’s home,” recalled Leaman. The pair hit it off, dated, and were married within a year - and have been committed to each other and to investing in the town of Marietta ever since. In April, the Marietta Community House welcomed Leaman as the new president at its annual board of directors meeting. Leaman served on the
board for more than 10 years, most recently as vice president, and she praised former president Karen Sullivan for her successful tenure and ongoing dedication to the Marietta Community House. “I’ve watched it transform under Karen’s leadership,” said Leaman, noting that Sullivan spearheaded efforts that have made the Marietta Community House into something that everyone can be proud of. “We’ve gotten beyond fixing the building and are seeing some progress,” Leaman remarked. “I’m thrilled (for the Community House) to be a good neighbor.

Park Elementary School in Columbia is one of nine schools in the Lancaster area that The Edible Classroom has partnered with to develop and sustain learning gardens. Through experiential learning, the nonprofit organization aims to teach children about where food comes from and involve them in the process of planting, tending, and harvesting gardens.
