Benefit auction to provide hope for Haiti
BY JEFF FALK
Hope comes in many different sizes, in many different shapes and in many different forms. Hope comes from various origins, various places and various sources.
Yes, there is hope for Haiti. It’s alive and well in Ephrata.
“Haiti has been in the news, and it’s almost always negative,” said Kristen Hertzog, who’s visited Haiti 79 times over the last 30 years, many of which have been as missions of mercy. “It seems like there is constantly drama there. I’ve been asked, ‘Why do you keep going back for more?’ I think the reality is that when you’re on the ground and meet
the people down there, it gives it a different dimension.”
Hertzog is also a board member for the Hope for Haiti Benefit Auction and a liaison between the fundraiser and the people of
“We’re
giving people we don’t know hope for a better life.”
Haiti. This year’s edition of the annual benefit auction will be conducted on Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. until everything is sold, at the one-room Metzler School, 535 Metzler Road, Ephrata.
Admission to the Hope for
Haiti Benefit Auction is free.
“It’s a typical country auction,” said Hertzog. “But every year it’s different, which is why people should come again. Our auction is unique because everyone is invited to volunteer and participate. You can come casually, or you can come to buy something.”
Some of the items that will be made available for bids at the auction include collectibles, tools, sheds, furniture, gift cards, quilts, antiques, flowers, plants, outdoor items and locally made craft goods. There will also be a large food court offering homemade dishes; a children’s tent featuring games, activities and prizes; a Spikeball tournament; and a bake sale.

The annual Wheels and Wings Festival & 5K was established in 2017 to benefit Lancaster city youths. Since then, the Rotary Club of Lancaster’s fundraiser has really “gotten rolling”; it’s really “taken off.”
“It’s really a fun, family day,” said Amy Lewis, who’s been a member of the Rotary of Lancaster’s board of directors for two years. “We encourage families to come. There’s music
that gives it a classic car vibe. It’s a chance to explore Lancaster Airport in a way you don’t usually get, support the Rotary and support this amazing cause.”
The Wheels and Wings Festival & 5K is part car show, part running competition and part airplane show. The sixth edition of the event will be held on Saturday, May 17, from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lancaster Airport, 500 Airport Road, Lititz.
The day will begin at 8 a.m. with the running of the 5K

For more than three decades, the Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy has rolled through the county, lifting spirits and raising funds for local children battling critical illnesses. The 36th annual event will be held on Saturday, May 10. It will kick off at Manheim Pennsylvania Auto Auction, 1190 Lancaster Road, Manheim. While truck parking and driver registration will run from 6 to 10 a.m., the public is invited to a Family Fest
from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The convoy will depart at 1:30 p.m.
In the past, the convoy has been held on Mother’s Day, but organizers made the decision to move the event to the day before the holiday in the hopes of improving attendance, enhancing volunteer availability and encouraging more participation from drivers and wish families.
“Everything else that folks love about the event remains unchanged,” said Lori Dietrich, Make-A-Wish director of development for Lancaster County.
Auctioneers accept bids for items at last year’s Hope for Haiti benefit event.
Visitors check out some of the more than 300 vehicles that were displayed at last year’s Wheels and Wings Festival & 5K Race.

The Warwick Education Foundation will roll out the red carpet for its annual Education Rocks gala on Friday, May 9, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at Foundry 48, located in the Listrak building, 100 W. Millport Road, Lititz. This year’s theme is “Vintage Vegas.”
The event will bring the sparkle of 1960s Las Vegas - tuxedos, cocktail dresses, champagne toasts, and classic swing music - to raise funds for local classrooms.
Frankie Roma and the Pack Rats will headline the event with a ninepiece big-band tribute to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and their legendary cohort.
The event will also include student grant displays, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, live and silent auctions, and a wine and bourbon pull, and a foundation presentation. Vintage Vegas-style attire is
encouraged, but not required.
Individual tickets, corporate table reservations, and sponsorship packages are available at www .warwickef.org/educationrocks.
All proceeds will fund Warwick Education Foundation grants to teachers for innovative programs, visits by experts in residence, and technology resources. Since 1997, the foundation has invested more than $3.8 million in the Warwick School District.
The Warwick Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to enhancing educational excellence within the Warwick School District. Through community partnerships and donor generosity, the Foundation funds programs intended to inspire curious, confident, and resilient learners. For more information, visit www .warwickef.org.

Led by Evie Bergey, the group will discuss “Daughters of the Flower Fragrant Garden” by Zhuqing Li.
Attendees may bring a lunch to eat during the discussion, if desired. Masks are optional.
The forum discussion series
aims to offer a safe learning environment in which to discuss and explore diverse topics and beliefs with respect to everyone sharing. Each person obtains materials for the course unless specified otherwise in the information provided on the yearly schedule. The schedule is subject to change.

Silver Singers to present concert
The Silver Singers
Mailed outside our circulation area for $36/year. Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. | PO Box 500, Mount Joy, PA 17552 TOWNLIVELY.COM
The Silver Singers of Lititz will present “Broadway Bound,” a concert featuring all Broadway tunes, on Saturday, May 17, beginning at 3 p.m. at the East Petersburg United Church of Christ, 2340 State St., East Petersburg. The concert is free and open to the public.
The Silver Singers have been harmonizing for almost a decade at the Traditions of America
community in Lititz. This year, singers from the East Petersburg Traditions of America community are joining forces to lead the audience through selections from “Mame,” “The Sound of Music,” “Hello, Dolly!” “The Fantasticks,” “Annie,” “Oklahoma!” “Wicked” and “The Greatest Showman.” Solo sections will be covered by Dave Bruce, Pat Boxleitner, Bob Mech, Peter Weber, Nancy Winter, Jane Basciano, Joanne Liddy and Rick Thompson. Sparkly gloves, special hats and a visit by “Dolly” herself will round out the program.
The chorus is directed by Darla Bair and accompanied by Kay Decker on piano and Lori Dietz on flute. For more information, contact the director at musicto healourworld@gmail.com or text 585-494-1795.
“All of these unique groups are coming together,” said Hertzog. “It’s a different vibe because of that. We don’t all believe the same things, but we’re all coming together for that one purpose, to better the lives of people who don’t have it as good as we Americans. If we can open our hearts for other people, that’s a win for me. It’s OK that we’re all different, and it’s OK that the Haitians are different.”
Nearly 2,000 people are expected to attend the Hope for Haiti Benefit Auction, which is supported by the work of 125 volunteers. During its 12 years of existence, the benefit auction has raised nearly $500,000
for education and business support and training for the people of Haiti.
This year, all the proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward a pair of Haiti-based programs, the Hope Library and Christian Training Center in Port-au-Prince and the Transformation Haiti’s Paradigm Shift Program in Cap-Haitien. Specifically, the funds will help provide books, reliable internet, computers and opportunities for higher education.
“(The organizers and supporters of the benefit auction) have been investing their time and resources for years to benefit a place they cannot visit,” said Hertzog. “That ups the ante for me. The name

Hope for Haiti came from an Old Order Mennonite woman, and she said we’re giving people we don’t know hope for a better life. When she did that, she was never going to experience the end result.”
Located in the Caribbean, Haiti has struggled with harsh economic conditions for decades and is known as the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Many of Haiti’s nearly 12 million residents live below the poverty level.
“The average Haitian lives on two dollars a day,” said Hertzog. “For years and years, the political turmoil has been so bad. I’ve been there enough to know that the world’s goods are not equally
divided. I told myself, ‘I’ve got to start something.’ I think that bigger-picture stuff is important. At the end of the day, people are important. That was the beginning of the Hope for Haiti Benefit Auction.”

The Wheels and Wings Festival is free to attend for spectators, but a fee to park will be charged.
“We used to do a fundraiser at (Franklin & Marshall) College,” said Lewis. “But we picked this up, and it took off. It has certainly grown. One of the things that’s grown is the number of planes we’ve been able to get. I think people see these planes, look at them and remember them from their history books. It’s all different kinds of planes.”
The event’s mood will be enhanced by live music, five food trucks serving breakfast and lunch, door prizes, games, a children’s area and vendors. More than 1,000 guests are expected to attend.
Organizers of the Wheels and Wings Festival & 5K are aiming to realize $40,000 in proceeds, which will be donated to the Rotary Club of Lancaster’s Summer Youth Experience program, which is supported by United Way of Lancaster County. The program is designed to benefit Lancaster city youths ages 5 through 17 through activities that teach leadership and aim to help prevent the “summer slide” that can occur between school years.
“The Rotary has a long history of working with the School District of Lancaster,” said Lewis. “We’re trying to bridge that (summer) gap so students can retain from year to year. It’s an area where some kids have fallen behind. We learned that some kids were struggling over the summer. It’s meant to build academic skills and build confidence.”
Living the motto of “Service Above Self,” the Rotary Club of Lancaster engages in fundraisers and community activities to benefit the 4-H Club of Lancaster County, a youth exchange and host family program in conjunction with the School District of Lancaster, Power
Packs food program in Lancaster, Preserve Planet Earth and the Salvation Army. The Rotary Club of Lancaster, which meets every Wednesday at noon at Farm & Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, was founded in 1915 and currently includes 103 members.
“The Rotary Club of Lancaster has a rich history of helping in Lancaster County,” said Lewis. “We’ve become entrenched in the community, especially for at-risk youth. Wheels and Wings is just another way to do that.”
“We live by a four-way test, ‘Is it the truth? Is it fair? Is it going to build goodwill? Is it going to be beneficial?’” added Lewis. “Everything we do runs through the four-way test. We want to benefit as many people as possible. I think that’s what’s kept us flourishing for more than a hundred years.”
