Shopping Fair To Support Cat-Rescue Efforts By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“We’re partnering to get cats adopted,” Pet Pantry of Lancaster County executive director Melody Sanders said of her organization’s collaboration with Furever Home Adoption Center. “We put the animals first, and we try to figure out the rest afterward.” Until recently, that partnership has primarily involved working to ensure that rescued or surrendered cats receive the medical care and safe homes they need. Furever Home operates a feline sanctuary and adoption center at 5984 Main St., East Petersburg, while the Pet Pantry, headquartered at 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster, cares for cats and other animals, offers lowcost vaccinations and spay/neuter services, and supplies pet food for households experiencing financial distress. The Pet Pantry’s veterinarians have been
able to treat illnesses and injuries in cats taken in by Furever Home, and Furever Home has cared for felines accepted by the Pet Pantry that do better in a cagefree environment where they can socialize with other animals. The two organizations also share volunteers. Now, the Pet Pantry has signed on to help with hosting Furever Home’s fourth annual summer shopping fair. “This is a way for us to support (Furever Home),” Sanders said. “This shows our staff members and volunteers working together. The community needs to see organizations working together to better the lives of animals in Lancaster County.” The shopping fair will be held at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 21. The event will be open to the public free of charge, and well-contained pets will be welcome. The Pet Pantry’s canine See Shopping Fair pg 11

Program To Discuss Publishing Process Giving Back To The Community With the invention of electronic books and the introduction of tools to self-publish printed tomes, it has become easier than ever for writers to become published authors. The publication process will be the subject of a new program, “Telling Stories: From Idea to Publication,” offered by Quarryville Library, 357 Buck Road, Quarryville. “I came up with the idea of having an author present a three-part writing series that would cover from the time you have an idea to having the book published,” said library director Sylvia Drennen, who explained that she developed the program with “Banebringer” author Carol A. Park. “She was here for Author’s Night, and during some of our communication she expressed how she enjoys talking about the writing process,” Park related. “I ran the idea by her, a general breakdown of what I was thinking of for each session and asked her if she was interested.” She said, ‘Yes!’” See Library Program pg 11
The Lancaster County Fire Chiefs Association launched a recruitment campaign this year in an effort to meet the growing need for volunteer members of the 67 fire departments and companies throughout the county.
LCFCA Seeks Volunteers With Recruitment Campaign By Chelsea Peifer
“Banebringer” author Carol Park will lead a three-session program on the publication process at the Quarryville Library.
Jared Artus began volunteering as a junior firefighter simply because he had always loved helping people - and he
loved fire trucks, too. He is now the deputy fire chief at Fivepointville Fire Company and has 24 years - and counting - of experience as a volunteer firefighter. “You have a great opportunity to make a huge difference in someone’s life, especially since 99 percent of the people are in their worst nightmare See Recruitment Campaign pg 8
