FIELD DAY
Members of the Southern Pennsylvania Amateur Radio Club (SPARC) will be participating in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise on Saturday, June 22, from 2 to 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 23, from 10 a.m. to noon at 1715 Breneman Road, Manheim. This event is open to the public free of charge. For more than 100 years, amateur radio (sometimes called ham radio) has allowed people from all walks of life to experiment with electronics and communications techniques, as well as provide a free public service to their communities during a disaster. Field Day will demonstrate ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network.

FoodStock Music Festival Moves To Lancaster By Dayna M. Reidenouer
The sixth annual FoodStock Music Festival, a fundraiser to fight hunger, will be held at Buchanan Park, 901 Buchanan Ave., Lancaster, on Saturday, June 22, from noon to 7 p.m. During the event, attendees may enter to win prizes, shop at a craft show, listen to a variety of music, and purchase food and beverages. Children age 12 and under will be able to enter for free when accompanied by adults who have purchased tickets. The event has been moved to Lancaster from Manheim so that organizers can take full control of the event - the previous venue controlled the layout and concessions - and to ensure that it is family-inclusive and affordable. “Our goal is to maximize attendance
and, therefore, maximize the amount of money we can raise for hunger-fighting organizations in our community,” explained Jack Fliszar, FoodStock promotion and marketing coordinator. In the past five years, FoodStock has raised approximately $30,000. Fliszar noted that the event was created by Tom Hayden, who worked for the United States Postal Service and saw firsthand the success of the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Hayden wanted to do more, so he created FoodStock Music Festival, which provides funds for local food banks and pantries. “Food insecurity affects people and families from all age groups, and summer months are especially tough,” Fliszar said. He reported that according to www.feedingamerica.org, 1 in 8 people, including 1 in 6 children, struggle See FoodStock pg 5
