SERVING THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES SINCE 1954

VOL LVII • NO 26

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 sit-down 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. Individuals may call Dana at 717-2788271. A link to the bidding page will be posted at www.solidrock quarryville.com/online-auction.

Solanco CROP Walk To Mark 40th Anniversary BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

When the 2020 Solanco CROP Hunger Walk takes place on Saturday, Oct. 17, participants may help to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first walk, which was held in 1980. There will be several photo opportunities, said planning committee member Mary Etta Reinhart. “We’re trying to make it a fun event but a socially distanced event,” she noted. Reinhart shared that the planning committee discussed the walk in light of coronavirus mitigation guidelines and decided to go ahead with holding the event because it takes place entirely outdoors. Some of the procedures have been modified for safety. Registration
