Second Richard Oehme Golf Tournament Scheduled By Ann Mead Ash

When Jerilyn Oehme planned the first Richard Oehme Memorial Golf Tournament in memory of her father in 2018, she had three goals. After losing her father to suicide, Jerilyn wanted to raise funds for Mental Health America of Lancaster County (MHALC) to help with that organization’s

Suicide Prevention Coalition projects. She also wanted to raise awareness of and change the stigma surrounding suicide. Lastly, she hoped that her father’s male friends would come to the outing to remember her father and work to process their loss together. The tournament attracted more than 100 golfers and raised $10,000 for MHALC, and many of her

father’s friends did take part in the tournament. A photographer who took pictures of the players talked with the groups as they played and noted that Richard’s friends were sharing their memories of him. “It was helpful because men don’t always talk about feelings and emotions,” Jerilyn said. “I think it was nice for them to have this way to remember him.” See Golf Tournament pg 3

LCBC To Host Global Leadership Summit By Ann Mead Ash

This year’s event is scheduled to be held at the church, 6 Hahnstown Road, Ephrata, on Thursday, Aug. 8, and Friday, Aug. 9. “You can expect nationally known speakers in
