Learn To Sew And Quilt By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Donna Lucidi is passionate about sewing, and she is eager to help others develop their skills. “Sewing was one of my fortes,” she said, reminiscing about her career as a family and consumer science teacher at high schools in Cambria and Lancaster counties. Lucidi also taught sewing classes for Penn State Extension and at quilting and fabric stores in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. She is a founding member of the Red Rose Quilters Guild. “People feel better about themselves when they can make something,” Lucidi remarked. “The idea (behind my classes) is to show people it’s fun to do these things.” Lucidi will teach three classes for the Manheim Township Recreation and Park Planning Department. Participation is open to everyone, not just Manheim Township residents. A class on sewing a jelly roll pillow will meet from See Sewing Classes pg 3

To quote Bob Dylan, “the times they are a-changin’.” After six years in September and two years in May, Schreiberpalooza will be held for the first time in February. Dan Fink, director of marketing and public relations for the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, explained that in 2016 and 2017, the music festival that is Schreiberpalooza was held on the same weekend as the Rubber Duckie Race. “It was not sustainable, primarily for staff (members) and volunteers,” he said. “We’ve held it on Mother’s Day weekend in May the past two years and ran into schedule conflicts with other May events (such as) graduations, proms, and the like that probably hurt attendance a bit. We recognize that moving the date again creates some challenges, but we know
the area entertainment calendar is more open, (with) fewer competing events, in February.” Thus, Schreiberpalooza will be held on Saturday, Feb. 8, from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. at Clair Brothers, 1 Clair Blvd., Manheim. Local bands Vinyl Groov, 3rd Power Family Soul, and The Usual Suspects will be the featured performers. The Usual Suspects blends Dorden Biving, lead singer of Mama Tried, and Good 2 Go members Jim Darby and Scott Bacon and will be participating in Schreiberpalooza for the first time. 3rd Power Family Soul, which bills itself as the ultimate dance band, and Vinyl Groov, a special occasion dance and show band, will both appear in the music festival for the second time. Vinyl Groov is led by vocalist and rhythm and blues aficionado Harold “Lark” Lowery. Trumpeter Todd Fulginiti, who recently left Vinyl Groov See Schreiberpalooza pg 2
