Celebrating Solid Rock School-year programs for students in kindergarten through ninth grade will begin at Solid Rock Youth Ministries, 34 E. State St., Quarryville, on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Information about the after-school and evening offerings is available at www.solidrockquarryville.com/ school-programs. Additionally, the Christian ministry has planned two fundraising events that will take place in the coming weeks. An online auction will be held from Monday, Oct. 19, to Thursday, Oct. 29. The third annual 5K and fun run has been set for Saturday, Oct. 31. Registration for the 5K must be completed by Monday, Oct. 12, to be guaranteed an event T-shirt. Dana Nixon and her daughter, Andrea Nixon, have coordinated the auction for the last three years. Typically, live and silent auctions are held in conjunction with a ham dinner, but a sitdown meal for 200 people was
not feasible with social distancing guidelines. “ We’re hoping it’s a good thing,” Dana remarked. “We hear people do better on virtual auctions than in person.” She noted that participation in an online auction is not limited to the capacity of the fellowship hall where Solid Rock’s in-person auctions were held. Individuals from anywhere may place bids, as long as they are able to pick up their items at Solid Rock from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 31. Payment will be made at pickup, and cash and check will be preferred. Fall and home décor, jewelry, indoor furniture, a vintage table, gardening supplies, gift certificates, and more have been donated for the auction. Union Presbyterian Church continued its tradition of contributing a hand-knotted comforter, and Wesley Church repeated its popular package of a fire pit and s’mores supplies. The Nixons will accept additional items for the auction through Friday, Oct. 9. See Solid Rock pg 3

Bill Musto’s ice truck turned 100 years old this year. The 1920 Model T came from Sag Harbor, N.Y., near where Bill grew up. “If you’re old like me, you had an ice box (as a child). The man came around and delivered ice, but not in a refrigerated truck. It was an open truck,” Bill explained. Bill, who is 80 years old, and his wife, Pat, divide their time among Long Island, N.Y.; Pennsylvania;

The members of the Middle Octorara Presbyterian Women (MOPW) know that good records are key to a successful outcome, and they are depending on this concept for the annual turkey supper set for Saturday, Oct. 10. “We like to take notes after each event and plan for the next year,” said MOPW member Debbie Hoover. “The notes from last year said to plan for 500 (meals).” In previous years, between takeout orders and on-site diners, the MOPW served about 400 meals. Last year’s turnout was so good
