“Christmas In July” Event Set For July 23 By Dayna M. Reidenouer
For the past seven years, the residents of Woodcrest Villa, 2001 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster, have hosted a Christmas in July event to collect school supplies for students in need in Lancaster County. While the collection drive usually ran for several weeks and culminated in one special event, this year’s Christmas in July will be held on one day only. “We wanted to try something new,” explained event chair Stephanie Kaufhold. She is supported in planning the event by six committees that each have at least five residents. Over the past seven years, Christmas in July efforts raised $14,000 for the purchase of uniforms for School District of Lancaster (SDoL) students, collected approximately the same amount in school supply donations,
and generated $4,500 to purchase school supplies. This year, rather than earmark proceeds and cash donations, the event will raise money for the Families in Transition (FIT) program, which serves SDoL and the other districts in Lancaster County. FIT staff members will take care of purchasing uniforms and school supplies for students whose families cannot afford them. “This will provide more flexibility for the school districts,” said financial committee member Dennis Good. “They can decide where to divvy up the funds.” The Christmas in July celebration will be held on Tuesday, July 23, in the Gamber Auditorium of the VIVA Centre on Woodcrest Villa’s campus. Bidding on the silent auction items will be open from 3 to 7 p.m. Entertainment, which will be a mixture of music and other
Woodcrest Villa residents display three of the more than 100 lots that will be sold at a silent auction during the eighth annual Christmas in July event on July 23. The public is invited to attend the event, which will support See Christmas In July pg 5 Families in Transition, a program to aid students in need.
