reach to other great community resources, that is a blessing for everyone,” said Tom Ellis, interim president of the foundation. In celebration of the organization’s anniversary, a gala and art auction will be held on Friday, Sept. 30, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at The Trust Performing Arts Center, 37 N. Market St., Lancaster. Tickets, which will go on sale on Monday, Aug. 1, at www.longspark.org, will be limited. Board member Janice Henry is chairing the event. A segment of the event will be devoted to a presentation by wellknown local architect Gregory Scott, whose firm originally designed the amphitheater. Scott will look back on the history of the iconic building, which began when the Sertoma Club put together a leadership team in 1959 and then built and commissioned the amphitheater before turning it over to the city. The live auction of original art, which will benefit the foundation, will showcase members of the Echo Valley Art Group. A highlight of that portion of the event will be the sale of a commissioned piece created by artist Lisa Madenspacher. Her rendition of the amphitheater pays homage to the concerts and fireworks with which the building is associated. Another auction item will poke fun at the amphitheater’s long association with wild birds. “We have a bird feeder that was created as a fundraiser,” said Ellis, who noted that the roof of the feeder has the same profile as the amphitheater. “We are calling it an amphi-feeder.” The feeder was fabricated and painted by Viocity Group and donated by Woodstream Corporation. Food for the gala will be created by former White House chef John Moeller, known for owning and preparing cuisine at the Greenfield Restaurant and Bar.

Book Aims To Empower Families BY ANN MEAD ASH
For more than a decade, Joel Jakubowski, who is now the men’s ministry director with The Potter’s House, has given presentations in Pennsylvania and around the country to help educate family members of those who are ex periencing addiction to drugs or alcohol. A little more than four years ago, Jakubowski started listening to all the people who were encouraging him to write a book on the subject. “One lady squeezed my arm and said, ‘Joel, please write a book,’” Jakubowski recalled. “I went home and looked at my (presentations),” Jakubowski recalled. “I wrote the book in like six hours.” Over the two weeks after writing the draft, Jakubowski edited his writing. “I wanted to make it so people knew they could read it quickly,” he recalled. “It’s a rescue tool.” See The Potter’s House pg 5
