MHA Plans Annual Pasta Fundraiser By Ann Mead Ash

One of the reasons Mental Health America (MHA) marketing coordinator Charlotte Leckow works so hard gathering items for the live and silent auctions held during the organization’s annual pasta buffet is that the fundraiser helps support the work of Gretchen Gaudioso, client and family advocate with MHA, in area schools. “Gretchen goes into classrooms to talk about mental health issues,” said Leckow. “She talks about what depression is and encourages (students) to be open about these topics and to support each other and to advocate for themselves.” The goal, according to Leckow, is to remove the stigma associated with mental health issues and help the students feel more comfortable discussing them. On Friday, March 8, MHA will hold

the fundraiser, now in its third decade, at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 64 Hershey Ave., Lancaster. Dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m., and the live and silent auctions will begin at 6:45 p.m. Silent auction winners will be announced throughout the evening. In addition to her duties with MHA, Gaudioso does much of the cooking for the pasta buffet. “We will have two kinds of pastas and offer meat and regular sauce,” said Gaudioso, who added that salad, as well as meat, sausage, and plain lasagnas, will also be on the menu, along with bread donated by a local bakery. According to Kristin Labezius, assistant program director and intensive case manager with Community Services Group of MHA, volunteers of all ages will gather at the church on the evening of March 7 when the cooking begins. Gaudioso noted that 10 large chafing See MHA Fundraiser pg 5

Dayspring To Host Noted Speakers Remember America Series To Continue By Dayna M. Reidenouer

Sometimes genealogist Darvin Martin finds himself in the role of scientist. More specifically, Martin has found himself becoming well-versed in genetic science. He has developed an understanding of DNA and how it is passed from generation to generation. With the advent of basic genetic testing available through companies like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com, a whole new aspect of genealogy has opened up. “There are huge benefits of DNA testing, but they lie in the deeper testing - not the basic ethnicity testing - which can reveal relatives,” Martin said. “You can share family trees and see how you connect.” See Conference pg 3

Lancaster Family History Conference committee chair Darvin Martin (left) and member Gordon Reed hope folks interested in learning about their ancestry and other facets of genealogy will attend the 40th annual conference, which will be held from March 26 to 30.
