Musical Endeavor Brothers To Raise Funds For SWAN
hen three musical brothers are assigned a summer project, it is only natural that they would decide to hold a concert. In the case of Noah, Lucas, and Marcus Unruh, who live in the Conestoga Valley School District, that concert will benefit SWAN (Scaling Walls A Note at a Time), which offers free music lessons to School District of Lancaster (SDoL) students affected by parental incarceration. The Unruh brothers will display their musical talents with a little help from their mother, Anu, and younger sister, Liesl, when they hold a fundraiser for SWAN to “give music” and “empower dreams,” according to the event flyer, at Gospel of Grace Community Church, 45 N. Kinzer Road, Kinzers, at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 11. A mix of music, including gospel tunes, will be played on a variety of instruments. Admission will be

charged, and a meal, including a sub sandwich from Pasquale’s, chips, and a beverage, will be offered for a nominal cost. Those wishing to attend are asked to contact Noah at noah.unruh@gmail.com or Lucas at lucas.unruh@gmail.com by Friday, Aug. 5, for reservations. Noah, age 13, will play the saxophone and piano in the concert. “There’s a piece called ‘Irish Wedding,’ and it’s the longest piece I have ever played, and I will be playing that,” said Noah. Lucas, who is 12, plays the piano, violin, ukulele, and guitar. He will play a hymn, and he will play the guitar to accompany Anu, Marcus, and Liesl when they sing “Do-ReMi” from “The Sound of Music.” Marcus, age 8, is a pianist. He reported that his favorite song to play is the “William Tell Overture.” Lucas explained that when the family discussed the idea of holding a concert to raise funds for SWAN, he responded, “Why not? It sounds like fun.” See SWAN pg 4
Forgotten Friend To Visit CMBC Awana Kickoff To Feature Reptiles
UDS Plans Annual Golf Tournament BY ANN MEAD ASH
Lori Breece, manager with United Disabilities Services (UDS) service dogs, especially likes coming to work on Wednesdays because that is when Quincy, a UDS ambassador dog, spends the day with her. “(Quincy) is the best dog,” said Breece. “This morning, I dropped a paper towel, and he picked it up and gave it to me.” Quincy was trained to be a full-service dog, but health issues kept him from that role.
