PCA&D Creatively Develops Real People BY JEFF FALK
Before you can teach students, you must first reach them. Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) has the curriculum, the forward thinking and the professors to challenge active minds. “People often know PCA&D as an art school, but what they may not realize is how deeply connected we are to workforce development, community partnerships and the regional
Strasburg Senior Citizens Celebrates 60th Anniversary BY LOGAN MOYER
For six decades, the Strasburg Senior Citizens has been an organization unlike most others. The group is not the average Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions Club, although it shares many of the same charitable causes. The group, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in May, is a special place for those age 50 and older to fraternize, enjoy activities and forge a unique connection to the area and to each other. A member of the Graybill family has been a part of the group for most of its existence. Kay Graybill is the group’s only active third-generation member; her grandmother and mother were both also active members in the past. “This is my third year in the club,” she said. “My mom, she worked part time; it was more a way to just get out. And my grandma, at that age, she would just get a place to go out and meet other people. It just feels right to be in a group that they were a part of.” The group meets at 1 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month at the Strasburg Fire Hall, 203 W. Franklin St., Strasburg. There is a small door fee to pay for the rental of the fire hall. People from all around the county are members, although most are from Strasburg, Paradise, Quarryville, Ronks and the surrounding towns. The meetings typically consist of fellowship, live entertainment, bingo, and informative

upporting Empowering Lives Foundation (SELF) is holding a bingo fundraiser at the Millersville VFW Post 7294 on Sunday, June 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The post, located at 219 Walnut Hill Road, Millersville, will host the newly formed nonprofit’s first fundraising event. SELF, formed last summer as the offshoot of another, now-defunct disabilities group, aims to help anyone with a disability live an independent life. According to the group’s website, its mission is “to serve clients with disabilities by identifying and addressing the gaps in support, resources and advocacy - picking the pieces so no one falls through the gaps.” The event will consist of 10 normal bingo games, with the winner getting to pick a gift card prize. There will then be special games of bingo and a Chinese auction for
