Driving Forward HVMI Slates Golf Outing By Ann Mead Ash
Kyle Robinson, executive director of Handi*Vangelism Ministries International (HVMI), has a lot on his plate. Not too long ago, the ministry purchased the land at 3261 Rothsville Road, Akron, and work to receive approvals to locate camps, retreat centers, and day programs there is underway, with HVMI planning a capital fund campaign to begin in the fall. With all that looming, Robinson is well aware of the importance of maintaining the general budget. “Our golf outing is driving programs that are happening now,” explained Robinson. “Our general fund should be strong as we go into our capital campaign. We need to appropriately handle all the things God has given us.”
HVMI will hold its 17th annual golf outing at Tanglewood Manor Golf Club, 653 Scotland Road, Quarryville, on Thursday, Sept. 12. Contests will include a hole-in-one competition, closest to the pin, longest drive for men and women, straightest drive, and a putting competition. Registration and light fare will be at 11:30 a.m., followed by a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start. Dinner will follow the round. HVMI offers recreational camps and more to people with disabilities and also includes Minds Renewed, BASIS, and REST Ministries. Plans for the land include a camp featuring a chapel/ dining hall, a cabin, a pavilion, and more. Recreational features that HVMI hopes to add will include a pool, a playground, a basketball court, and playing fields with ADA-compliant paved walking paths. Currently, the ministry rents two camps to offer seven weeks of See Golf Outing pg 12

Cavod Campers To Stage Musical At Junction Center
By Ann Mead Ash
On July 1, more than 40 people waited at Groffdale Mennonite Church in Leola for a bus to arrive from New York City. The group consisted of host family members who were eager to meet the 26 Fresh Air children who were scheduled to arrive at 3 p.m. The Sellers family of Denver, Caitlin and Keith and their three children ages 8, 5, and 3, were looking forward to sharing their home in the woods with their assigned child. “We thought it would be a good opportunity to open our world to a child with limited experience,” said Keith, who noted that camping in the backyard was on the family’s agenda. “We have plenty of outdoor activities planned,” added See Fresh Air Fund pg 4
