Golfers Invited To Take A Swing Against Homelessness

Cavod Theatre To Present “Shrek The Musical Jr.”

EPC To Host Annual Outing By Kaylee Rex

When nursery teacher Dawn realized that Sherry, the mother of one of her students, was on the verge of homelessness, she connected her to Bridge of Hope @ Good Samaritan Services (GSS). The program saved Sherry, the mother of four, after a family conflict jeopardized their living arrangement. Dawn also pulled together a “neighboring” group at their church, which became an essential support system for Sherry during her two years in the Bridge of Hope program. Through those essential two years, Sherry learned budgeting skills, was promoted in her full-time work and found permanent housing for her family. Sherry is just one example of the many women whom Bridge of Hope @ GSS has helped become independent and successful. See Golf Outing pg 6

Cordell Huyard, director of the Cavod Theatre production of “Shrek The Musical Jr.,” featuring Cavod Academy student actors, is thrilled to be presenting a show that he feels was such a good choice for the organization. “(The show) fits Cavod really well,” he said. “It’s family-friendly.” Huyard also deemed the music “incredible,” noting that several of the more than 30 musical numbers should resonate with audience members. “Shrek” will be staged at Cavod Theatre, 685 W. Main St., New Holland. The show will be presented at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 3; at 2 and 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 4; and at 2 and 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 5. See Cavod Theatre pg 4

“The Lititz Pretzel Fest (will be) very different this year,” explained Pretzel Fest chairperson Karen Davis. The annual event, which is organized by the Kiwanis Club of the Lititz Area, has traditionally included tastings and games on a single day in May. For 2019, the

event will be divided into two days. The first will be a day of tastings, dubbed Pretzel Fest, geared more to adults, that will raise funds for the second, dubbed Kids Fun Day in the Park, a day of games designed to appeal to children. Pretzel Fest, which will include up to 20 treats and beverages to try at Lititzarea venues, will be held on Saturday, See Pretzel Fest pg 4
