Ron Young (left) and Dave Garner worked on replacing a portion of a local resident’s ceiling as part of The Manheim Project, which took place from July 16 to 27.
The Manheim Project once again brought together hundreds of individuals from local churches this summer as they collectively worked toward the same goal of showing love and compassion through good deeds to the Manheim community. From July 16 to 27, volunteers sporting blue T-shirts emblazoned with The Manheim Project name and logo could be spotted assisting Manheim-area residents with work projects including repairs to porches and ceilings, power washing, patio cleanup, scraping and painting projects, carpentry work,
plumbing repairs, weeding, landscaping, trash removal, and other miscellaneous tasks. Ephrata, Lititz, and Manheim all host similar work camp projects in their communities. Each one is coordinated through Love INC of Lancaster County, which refers to the initiative as The Compassion Project. The project is publicized several weeks in advance through flyers and newspaper advertisements with a telephone number for area residents to call if they have a need. Love INC then fields all the calls and connects each church with service work according to the number of volunteers and skill sets they have to offer.

Cleaning windows was among the tasks that Pat Loercher completed as part of The Manheim Project. The service project matches volunteers from area churches with work projects requested by area residents in need of assistance.

The 2017 All Pontiac Show hosted by the Susquehanna Valley GTO (SVGTO) drew 187 vehicles. “We typically get guests from eight to 10 states,” SVGTO president Vic Schreck said. “Many will trailer their cars. We’ll secure an area hotel with an event discount for those who wish to stay overnight.” Last year’s show was the 10th hosted
by the SVGTO. In June this year, the club used its expertise to host the 39th annual GTO Association of America (GTOAA) International Convention in Valley Forge. More than 300 Pontiacs from the United States and Canada were entered in the event.
