we are so thankful for our readers and the local businesses and organizations that help to make our communities thrive “ExtraGive” Is Extraordinarily Important BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER
In a year when nonprofit organizations experienced significant losses of income opportunities, the Extraordinary Give (ExtraGive) hosted by the Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) is of particular importance. For 24 hours, beginning at 12:00:01 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 20, individuals may make donations via credit card to participating nonprofits at www.extragive.org. To inspire generous donations, LCCF has solicited sponsors for more than $500,000 in matching funds and other prizes. “Every year we have a stretch goal. That allows people to ‘give extra,’” explained LCCF communications manager Aaron Spangler. See “ExtraGive” pg 4
Dairy Royalty Visits Kinder-Haus BY ANN MEAD ASH
n Oct. 12, Amy Arment, who normally works in the infant room at Kinder-Haus Nursery Daycare, located at the New Holland Church of the Nazarene, spent part of the day assisting her daughter Sarah as she spoke to children age 1 through prekindergarten about dairy farming and the importance of drinking milk. Sarah is the 2020 Lancaster
O
County Dairy Princess. She was named to that post at the end of May by the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Promotional Services. Even though Sarah was the only contestant, the organization held a virtual pageant, and Sarah was required to answer questions about her knowledge of dairy farming before she was awarded the title. In her role, she is available to speak to civic organizations, school groups, and at libraries. The presentations
Sarah gives are customized to the age of her audience. She can also man grocery store displays, and she completed a video for the virtual Family Farm Days event in the summer. Sarah first applied for the contest in April. “To be a dairy princess, you need to have some connection to the dairy industry,” Sarah ex plained. Sarah’s uncles on both sides of her family along with her grandparents are dairy farmers. Two of her cousins have also served as
dairy princesses. Amy introduced her daughter to each class at Kinder-Haus, explaining that she is a princess who came to talk to them about cows and milk. Using a puppet to first greet the children, Sarah read “Out and About at the Dairy Farm.” Sarah told students that dairy farms provide milk for cereal and ice cream and asked if students knew what else was made from milk, eliciting answers such as “cheese” and “butter.”
