Marking 100 years of literary friendship

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

In 1924, Helen Breneman gathered a group of women to form what she envisioned as “a cozy little literary club.” For 100 years, the Mountwaybia Clubnamed for the hometowns of the original members, Mountville and Columbia, as well as the Lincoln Highway that joins the towns - has been drawing women together.

Over the years, many things have changed for the club. Gone are the musical selections played on the Victrola during club meetings and the $1 annual dues. But despite the decades, most things are unchanged, as the club

still provides an opportunity for women to gather in members’ homes to carry out the motto “Culture, Friendship and Service.”

in May. At each meeting, a club member serves as hostess, and another gives a report before tea and other refreshments are served.

“It was an outlet for women to do something academic, stretching themselves and learning something new.”

The Mountwaybia Club meets twice a month on Wednesdays from October to April, concluding the year with a spring social

“We run our meetings differently than other book clubs,” said club member Marianne Nolt. “Some people just read a book and then they all discuss it. We have a business meeting to start, and then each person takes a month to be the reporter.” The woman presenting the report may choose the topic, focusing on a book or a subject of personal interest.

At a recent meeting, club vice president Deanna Lawrence offered a biography about Robert Frost and then read one

According to a study published by the Amputee Coalition in February 2024, more than 5.6 million Americans live with limb loss and limb difference today. There are a variety of challenges individuals may experience with limb loss, and it affects people of every age group and background. But many Americans are unaware of the issues amputees face on a daily basis.

BY JEFF FALK

Sometimes we try too hard. Sometimes we overthink things. Sometimes the answer is right in front of us.

The PA Family Travel Fair has a unique way of simplifying things. The lively event focuses on recreation, on Pennsylvania, on family.

“Recreation is so important to your well-being,” said Wendy

Royal, organizer of the PA Family Travel Fair and editor of Where & When Pennsylvania.

“It’s crucial to your health to check out of your job. It can just be a long weekend. But it’s time with kids too. It’s important for families to spend time together. It’s important to get away and make those memories. You only get 18 summers with your kids.”

The sixth edition of the annual PA Family Travel Fair, hosted by

Meghan Clair and Jessica Schenk constructed a bulletin board to educate members of the amputee support group and to share words of encouragement.

Amputee support

group from pg 1

Every year, April is recognized as Limb Loss and Difference Awareness Month as one of many ways people can advocate for amputees across the country and learn about their community. In Lancaster County, Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital, 675 Good Drive, Lancaster, seeks to raise awareness of limb loss and limb difference in the local community by hosting a support group for amputees from 6 to 7 p.m. on the last Wednesday of every month. Another goal of the support group is to educate people on amputations and to provide resources to members of the limb loss community.

“Amputees are oftentimes overlooked and underserved in our communities,” said Meghan Clair, a clinical liaison at Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital and a facilitator of the support group.

“The process of losing a limb is traumatic. Going through the grief process alone without the appropriate support leads to other complications and medical issues, including mental health. It can isolate people and changes their entire world view

and the way they live their daily lives.”

The amputee support group has operated out of the hospital for many years until a break related to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, and it began to hold regular meetings again in the fall of 2022. The monthly get-togethers give amputees an opportunity to bond with individuals who understand their unique struggles and receive support from others who empathize. Additionally, Clair and fellow facilitator Jessica Schenk strive to commemorate group members’ triumphs, from regaining mobility without the use of a wheelchair to engaging in activities they enjoyed prior to their amputation.

Through the support group, Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital has developed strong connections with several prosthetists in Lancaster County, many of whom regularly attended the monthly meetings to offer support and guidance to attendees.

“By making sure we are educating, providing resources, and generally supporting our community members, we not only help them, but we help our community become more aware of what they go through,” Clair said. “Jess and I are empowered by our attendees. We love celebrating their wins, whether big or small. It’s exciting to see.”

For more information or to register for the monthly meeting, call Clair at 717-371-9129.

Concert to conclude church anniversary celebration

On Sunday, April 21, nationally renowned concert organist Daniel Aune will close the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Grace Lutheran Church, 517 N. Queen St., Lancaster, with a 4 p.m. organ recital.

The program will include several larger organ works and a number of short, hymnbased pieces. Highlighting the three-manual Schlicker pipe organ at Grace Church, the concert will feature Bach’s Fantasy and Fugue in G minor; a setting of “Now Thank We All Our God” by former Grace Church organist Timothy Albrecht, who went on to be the organ professor at Emory University in Atlanta; “Humoresque: A Toccatina for Flute” by early 20th-century composer Pietro Yon,

organist at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City; and “Finale” from the Sixth Organ Symphony by Charles-Marie Widor.

Aune will share personalized program notes with the audience.

Aune is organ professor at the Peabody Institute of Music of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He also serves as organist/ director of music at Christ Lutheran Church in the Inner Harbor section of Baltimore. He holds a doctorate in organ and a sacred music diploma from Eastman School of Music, Rochester, N.Y. There is no admission charge. Parking is available in the North Queen Street parking garage, a halfblock south of the church at North Queen and James Streets. Parking vouchers will be available to anyone upon request.

Performing arts camp slated

Children who enjoying singing and have hopes to someday perform on stage are invited to take part in a Discover Your Voice Camp being offered by Sopranojam Music Studio. The camp was created for students ages 8 to 14 with limited to no experience.

Discover Your Voice Camp is an eight-day performing arts camp that utilizes a signature program to help singers build confidence. There are no auditions, and every participant will have a feature performance. Sessions of the camp will be held on Sunday, July 14, from

2:30 to 5:30 p.m.; Monday through Friday, July 15 through July 19, from noon to 4:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 20, from noon to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, July 21, from 1 to 6 p.m. followed by the showcase concert at 7 p.m.

Early registration discounts and payment plan options are currently being offered.

Sopranojam Music Studio is located in Dayspring Christian Academy, 120 College Ave., Mountville. For more information and to sign up for the camp, visit www.soprano jamstudio.com/dyvc.

of her favorite poems of his, noting that she met the renowned poet as a 10th-grade student in York. Club secretary-treasurer Elaine Savukas gave a business report. Club president Kathy Hengst served as a hostess and also as the main presenter, giving a short talk about Longwood Gardens followed by a slideshow of the attraction.

When it was founded, the Mountwaybia Club included 12 women from Mountville and 12 from Columbia.

“It was an outlet for women to do something academic, stretching themselves and learning something new,” Lawrence explained.

Club member Joanna Smith noted that when she moved to the area in the 1960s, she read about the club in the local newspaper, and she recognized club member names as the movers and shakers of the community.

Early on, the club set a priority on supporting the community, and today the group continues that mission. Each Christmas season, the members take up a collection to benefit organizations including the Columbia Food Bank, and the group donates annually to the Mountville, Columbia and Mount Joy libraries. The club membership has dwindled over the years to about eight active members. Although the group is looking for more women to join, the members noted that it takes a commitment. “You have to be willing to give a

report and be a hostess to join,” said member Maria Wassell, who, with Linda Burrichter, rounded out the attendance at a recent meeting.

Burrichter, who calls her self an “emeritus member,” moved to Lebanon a few years ago but found she missed the group so much, she wanted to attend meet ings when able.

“There is no literary club out there that is like Mount waybia,” she said. “This is a really unique group.”

Roberts to race for a cause

Jim Roberts of Mount Joy will compete in the 2024 One Lap of America, departing in early May. This year, he will have a new transit driver, his racing crew chief Joe Yacobenas from Lancaster. Yacobenas will help with the highway miles and maintaining the car, and Roberts will do all the competitive driving on the tracks. The pair will use Roberts’ new orange Corvette and travel to race tracks in Indiana, Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and

back to Indiana in support of the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC). Roberts and Yacobenas will travel about 3,700 miles for the event and almost 5,000 miles by the time Roberts arrives back home again in just over a week. Along the way, they will compete against about 90 other teams.

Lawrence agreed, adding with a laugh, “I probably joined because I liked the idea of the tea. I was not a prolific reader. But I like the camaraderie in the group. Everybody wants to learn something. We’re still life long learners here.”

Club members are in search of descendants of former Mountwaybia mem bers who may have memo ries to share of the club. For more information on the Mountwaybia Club, contact Smith at jorings@yahoo.com or 717-653-2019 or Lawrence at 717-490-0111.

This will be Roberts’ 15th time competing in One Lap of America, and the last several years, he has raised funds for the PBCC. He now has raised

giveaways, face painting and balloon artists.

“There’s nothing else like this in the state of Pennsylvania,” said Royal. “We call it a travel fair because it’s fun and informative. I’m amazed by how little people know about things to do in Pennsylvania. I’ve had so many people say to me, ‘Why doesn’t the state do this?’ The state of Pennsylvania tourism office’s job is to bring people in. Our goal with the travel fair is to keep some of those tax dollars here. We’re trying to get people to spend some of their money in our state.”

More than 40 exhibitors will be represented at the PA Family Travel Fair, including visitor’s bureaus, museums, state parks, amusement parks, historical sites and Keystone State destinations. The low-pressure, laid-back atmosphere is enhanced by food trucks, live shows,

In addition to substantial giveaway drawings from exhibitors, Where & When Pennsylvania will be giving away a Potter-Tioga getaway for four. The grand prize includes four nights of lodging at the Penn Wells Lodge; passes to museums, attractions, and tours; food vouchers; and more.

“We cater to our exhibitors,” said Royal. “They’re handing out free information. The cool thing is you get to talk to someone. You get first-hand knowledge and advice from someone who knows. When you’re there, it’s a lot of fun because we involve the kids.”

According to Royal, Pennsylvania is a unique travel destination.

“You can’t really compare it to other states,” said Royal. “The country was born in Pennsylvania. It all started in Philadelphia, and at one point, Pittsburgh was the wild west. So much has happened here. There’s so much history, and there’s so much fun.”

The PA Family Travel Fair was started in 2018 as a way to meet a need for affordable family vacations. Since then, the need for recreation or for family togetherness hasn’t changed. In fact, if anything, it has grown stronger.

“Way too many of us are leaving vacation days on the table at the end of the year,” said Royal. “(Family vacations are) a time when we can connect. We encourage families to spend time together and disconnect from technology. There are a lot of fun things to do with the family, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Or you can make it a history trip.”

For LCCF, well-being and vibrancy are worth celebrating

BY JEFF FALK

Lancaster County has enjoyed a rich history of health, spirit and comfort. That prosperity is deliberate, nurtured and purposeful.

It’s the type of prosperity that also helps form a community from a county.

As the Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) continues the yearlong celebration of its platinum anniversary, it has now turned its attention to well-being and vibrancy. That universal concept of prosperity will provide the focus for LCCF’s next celebratory event.

“Lancaster County is a vibrant place to live, work and play,” said Val Schade, LCCF’s communications manager. “That’s why we want to make it more vibrant. We want it to continue to be vibrant for everyone who lives here. From a community perspective, it’s providing access for all people, whether it’s physical, financial or mental resources, to make that possible. It’s about investing in programs that are working in the community. Well-being and vibrancy are multifaceted.”

Touted as an afternoon of health and wellness activities, Cultivating Well-Being and Vibrancy will be presented as an outdoor tent event on Saturday, April 20, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Buchanan Park, 901 Buchanan Ave., Lancaster. The event is free, and everyone is encouraged to attend.

“We’re celebrating as an entire community,” said Schade. “The question becomes, ‘What can happen in a community when we promote well-being and vibrancy?’ If we want our community to reach its full potential, we have to invest in it.”

Included in the after -

noon’s activities will be presentations on writing from the heart, financial well-being, positive aging, health resources, collaborative art, nourishment and replenishment, core and gentle movement, alternative health and the sharing of voices with WITF. Keynote speaker

Janine James, vice president of Work Wisdom, will deliver an address in the middle of the festivities.

The recipients of LCCF’s next round of Shaping Tomorrow awards will also be announced.

“We’re hoping for a big crowd,” said Schade. “It’s community-led, and folks can choose their own adventure. People will be there checking it out. You can engage in what you want to engage in. We’re making these events so they’re open to everyone.”

Cultivating Well-Being and Vibrancy is the second in a series of four LCCF-sponsored events celebrating the nonprofit’s 100th year of stewardship in conjunction with the county’s endowment. The first, Celebrating Creative Expression, was held on March 27 at Rock Lititz.

On Saturday, Sept. 28, at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, 750 E. King St., Lancaster, LCCF will present Elevating the Next Generation, an event centered on youth and looking ahead. Then, at the Farm at Eagles Ridge, 465 Long Lane, Lancaster, on Thursday, Oct. 17, LCCF will conclude the series with Protecting Our Planet, an evening of nurturing and celebrating nature.

“The community foundation exists because in

1924, visionaries in Lancaster County were thinking about all of us,” said Tracy Cutler, LCCF’s executive vice president. “As a community, we have an opportunity to spark ideas and to consider commitments we can make and action we can take today to set Lancaster on a path for future generations and the next 100 years.”

“At Lancaster County Community Foundation, we care for the county’s endowment,” said Schade. “We are inviting folks to be a part of that. Everybody is invited to help shape the future of Lancaster County. We get together with folks from the county and form partnerships that create opportunities

to help shape a better future for all of us.”

“The Ride Ahead” follows 21-year-old Samuel Habib, who wants to enter the adult world - including dating, leaving home, and going to college - but he drives a 350-pound wheelchair, uses a communica -

A pre-show community panel discussion will begin at 6:15 p.m. It will feature Thomas Neuville, professor of special education at Millersville University; Jaclyn Nagle, executive director of the Disability Empowerment Center; Theo W. Braddy, executive director of the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL); and Marco Di Giulio, associate professor in the programs of Judaic studies and public health at Franklin & Marshall College.

“Probably the best ice cream in the world.”

To us, the best means producing a truly authentic, premium product. We start with happy, healthy cows who live at our American Humane Certified™ dairy and focus on top-quality ingredients that result in superior taste you can savor. While you may be seeing more and more “frozen dairy desserts” on the shelf, we still offer REAL ice cream made with less air & higher milkfat for a creamy bite every time. FARMS

Try it for yourself and we think you’ll probably agree!
