Sertoma Club To Host Informational Picnics The Strasburg Area Sertoma Club will host two picnics for those wanting to find out more about the service club and to meet current club members. The informal picnics will be held on Wednesdays, July 18 and Aug. 15, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the pavilion at the Strasburg Community Park, Precision Avenue, Strasburg. Sertoma is a combination of the words “Service to Mankind.” The Strasburg Area Sertoma Club, chartered more than 20 years ago, is one of hundreds of such clubs across the nation that are unified with the purpose of serving their respective communities and improving the quality of life for local folks in need. Members of the Strasburg Area Sertoma Club typically meet for a casual dinner once a month and raise funds by making and selling subs and helping to direct guests to parking at the Strasburg Rail Road
Company’s Day Out With Thomas the Tank Engine. Since the club’s inception, the majority of the funds raised by the Strasburg Sertomans annually is used to help maintain the Strasburg Community Park. In addition, the group has contributed to many other local nonprofit entities such as the StrasburgHeisler Library, the Strasburg Scout House, Santa’s Helpers, and the Strasburg Cemetery. The club also sponsors scholarships for LampeterStrasburg graduates who have communication disorders or who are going to college to help those with hearing or speech challenges. One major contribution made to the community is the organization and implementation of the annual Memorial Day Parade in Strasburg. The proceeds from poppy sales at the parade are donated to local veterans organizations. See Sertoma Club pg 2

Library To Welcome Mentalist-Magician Moms’ Day Out To Focus On Hope Reading this sentense is easy for many people ... reading minds is another story. Mentalist and magician Ran’D Shine, a Philadelphia native who has become a global phenomenon, will show off his unusual skill set in Strasburg on Monday, July 9. His highly interactive show will be held at the Strasburg-Heisler Library, 143 Precision Ave., Strasburg, at 7 p.m. Strasburg-Heisler Library director Kristin Fernitz had a one-on-one mind-reading experience with Shine in January. “If I hadn’t experienced this myself, I wouldn’t have believed it,” she said. “I can be very skeptical.” Shine is one of the most sought-after mentalists and magicians on the college circuit, and his show is intended for older teenagers and adults. His brand of magical comedy and entertainment has been on display at Hollywood’s “Magic Castle” as well as “Monday Night Magic,” New York’s longest-running Off-Broadway magic show.

W hen Cristin Germaine planned the first Dare to Dream Single Moms’ Day Out in 2016, she was not sure how well the idea would be received. “When I started the journey, I didn’t know what to expect. I was just hoping to reach some single moms,” shared Germaine. That first year, 90 mothers took part, and in 2017, 125 women participated. “This year, within the first week of opening the registration, I had 70 single moms signed up, and now we’re at about 160,” said a delighted Germaine. “It’s fantastic how friends are bringing their friends.” The 2018 event has been planned for Saturday, July 21, at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster, See Moms’ Day Out pg 2
