HOPE International Plans Golf Event BY ANN MEAD ASH

Jeff Rutt, founder of HOPE International, is keenly aware of the worldwide impact of COVID-19. HOPE International is a nonprofit organization that seeks to alleviate poverty in all its forms - spiritual, material, social, and personal. Over its more than 20-year history, the organization, with offices at 227 Granite Run Drive, Suite 250, Lancaster, has done that by loaning out more than $1 billion and helping to start savings groups among about a million clients in 16 countries. Now, those clients, who Rutt said are already on “fragile footing,” have been teetering on the brink. “We have been trying to pull them off that proverbial cliff edge,” said Rutt. “ We have gotten some results.” HOPE has instituted a threephase plan called Rebuilding Dreams, which first provided food and water to clients who needed it to survive.

Russo Begins Eagle Scout Project Nathan D. Russo is seeking community support for his Eagle Scout project, which aims to bring awareness and recognition to those who are serving or have served in the military. Nathan is currently a Life Scout in Boy Scout Troop 594 of Middletown, which is sponsored by American Legion Post 594. With permission from Lower Swatara Township, Nathan plans to install flags at Memorial Field, the lighted baseball field at Little Hollywood Park. He has determined that the field was never named for any person or thing. Nathan will purchase five flagpoles and one flag each for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. During a dedication ceremony scheduled to occur in October, Nathan will present the five flags, and the field will be dedicated to the U.S. armed forces. American Legion Post 594 will participate in the event.

The project will require more than $4,000 for the purchase of the flagpoles and flags as well as installation and landscaping. Individuals and businesses may make taxdeductible donations that will be recognized. Various recognition levels are available. To donate, readers may email RussoEagleProject@comcast.net. The deadline to contribute is Wednesday, Sept. 30.
