Updating The Past NHAHS Re-Creates 1949 Photo BY ANN MEAD ASH
At 2 p.m. on Dec. 19, 2021, a crowd gathered in front of the Kauffman Building. About 40 New Holland residents dressed in Christmas sweaters and hats, as well as local photographers, took their places with a goal of re-creating a photo from more than 70 years ago. Steve Loewen, one of the founders
of the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS), said that the idea originated in 2019 when a blowup of the original photo was displayed in the historical society museum where Santa Claus was greeting children. The original photo includes a 1948 Mack fire truck and a ladder to a second-floor window. The museum is located in the Kauffman Building, 207 E. Main St., New Holland. See NHAHS pg 2

When Kim Skinner, volunteer coordinator with Lancaster County Office of Aging, looked at the county map in early 2021, she saw that the ELANCO and Pequea Valley areas had no Apprise locations. Apprise offers help to new and existing Medicare beneficiaries by providing certified counselors who can help recipients reduce Medicare costs during the annual open enrollment period, which ran from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 in 2021.

Fairmount Friends Hold Food Drive BY ANN MEAD ASH
A little over a year ago, two friends and co-workers at
Fairmount, 333 Wheat Ridge Drive, Ephrata, held their first food drive. The pair - Valley View LPN Holly Keim and RN Katie Seibert, who

works in rehabilitation - had first conceived of the idea in early 2020. A second drive was held during the summer of 2021 and a third drive from Nov. 29 through Dec. 13. “It’s something we wanted to continue to do because there’s a need,” said Keim, who noted that she hung up flyers and sent out emails encouraging staff and residents to bring unexpired, nonperishable food items, as well as personal care items to the lobby, in the Wheat Ridge building. Carol Swailes, Fairmount public relations coordinator, included the information in “In Touch,” the biweekly newsletter to all campus residents. See Fairmount pg 7
