Take A (Final?) Seat At Potpie Dinner “If folks enjoy eating in, they may want to make sure they get here this time for nostalgia’s sake; the Lions are looking at making the event a takeoutonly event in the future,” said Mountville Lions Club member Eric Weaver, speaking about the annual fall potpie dinner the group will hold on Saturday, Oct. 20. “It’s been harder and harder to get helpers each year, and getting away from the dining room operation may be the only way the Lions can continue to make the event work,” Weaver explained. “Although they love the community spirit that shines when people break bread together, the number of volunteers needed to run a dining room and takeout operation is getting to be more than the club can handle.” The Lions Club will prepare and serve the meal at St. Paul’s United Methodist
Church, 100 W. Main St., Mountville. Takeout containers of potpie and coleslaw will be available at noon, and seating for the family-style dinner will begin at 3 p.m. Weaver noted that the Lions will serve potpie until it is finished, which is usually around 6 p.m. The menu will include all-you-can-eat potpie, coleslaw, pepper cabbage, peas, rolls, coffee, iced tea, and water. Separate prices for admission have been set for children and for adults and may be paid at the door. Homemade desserts, including pies and cakes, will be offered for an additional cost. Also at the event, folks may purchase brooms made locally by Amish crafters. The brooms are an artifact from when a club-supported occupational training program for blind and vision-impaired people focused on broom-making, among other skills. See Potpie Dinner pg 3

Pam Barnard collected a yellow tile printed with a Chinese character, looked at the row of similar tiles in front of her, consulted a sheet of paper at her side to see if she had any worthwhile combinations, and set it down in the discard area. “It’s quite challenging,” Barnard said of the game of mah jongg. “It requires a lot of focus. But I’m up for the Women who participated in an introductory challenge; it’s intriguing.” Barnard learned to play session on mah jongg in preparation for the mah jongg at the home of second annual Mah Jongg Madness event set Natalie Freedman, an for Oct. 21 included (from left) Carol aficionado of the rummy-like Woodman, Pam Barnard, Natalie Freedman, game and organizer of Mah Audrey Reedy, and Marie Donnelly.
