Song Series Returns BY ANN MEAD ASH

hen talking about the Lancaster Lemonade Concert Series, Sharon Neal, board member with the fledgling 501(c)(3) nonprofit, focuses on one important aspect. “It’s the delight of the audience,” she noted. “People tap their feet. They come up and say it was wonderful, and it’s a blessing to us that they enjoy it,” she said. “Some come to every concert.” Concerts began on June 16, and they will continue on Thursdays at 7 p.m. through Aug. 11. T h e s e r i e s r a i s e s f u n d s fo r a vocal competition for local high school and college students. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the competition has not been held since 2020. Neal noted that the organization plans to bring the competition back in 2023. Upcoming concerts will take place at Highland Presbyterian

On July 28, Reji Woods Productions will present “Songs From the Silver Screen” featuring Reji Woods as vocalist/narrator and vocalists Kathryn Cook, Kayla Klase, and Nolen Petrosky, with Mike Truitt on keyboard, David Flores on bass, and Stephen Brown on drums.

The third emPower stadium-style obstacle course race will benefit North Star Initiative.

W hen Josh March, owner of emPower Training Systems, 276 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster, first heard about human trafficking in Lancaster County during a presentation at Grace Community Church in Willow Street a few years ago, he was struck by its prevalence. “Most people don’t realize human trafficking is a big issue in our area,” he said. “As a father and husband, it really hits home.” See North Star Initiative pg 2
