Volunteers Like Shirley Flickinger Make Lititz the Community It Is
BY JEFF FALK
Shirley Flickinger is always keeping busy in the Lititz community. Next time you see her around, tell her, “Hey, Shirley, keep up the good work.”
For Shirley, volunteering is good work, perhaps the best kind of work.
“I do (volunteering) because I love being helpful,” said Shirley. “I love helping people. I love making our community a better place. It just makes my heart feel good. It’s a good feeling.”
Recently, Shirley was recognized for decades of giving back to the Lititz community.
In May, Shirley was named the Volunteer of the Year by the Pennsylvania Downtown Center (PDC), an organization that helps promote local business districts
Mural Project Allows Heart Artists To Express
BY JEFF FALK
A mural is a massive painting or picture portraying a scene or depicting an idea. It typically adorns a large inside wall or the outside of a building.
For artists, a mural is a creative outlet, self-expression, its own art form. For Heart Artists, a mural can be therapeutic, represent inclusivity and become an avenue for connecting with a community.
“I think (murals) are different for everyone,” said Trisha Goldsborough, Friendship Community’s marketing coordinator. “The (Heart) Artists get to see their work displayed on such a public place. It makes them feel like

Lynn Walker was worried.
In 2013, after her son Caleb had undergone his third brain surgery, a friend sent the family away for an extended weekend trip to Ocean City, N.J. Caleb had been gone for more than two hours on a beach bike expedition, and Lynn was getting anxious. “Caleb comes bursting through the door and says, ‘I know what I’m going to do! I’m going to start a foundation!’” Lynn recalled.
Caleb explained that while biking by the ocean he had felt normal for the first time in four years. “He said, ‘When you get away from everything else, you get to feel normal. This is what I want to give people,’” said Lynn.
For the last 11 years, the organization Caleb formed, A Week Away Foundation, has been providing families with weeklong vacations. “Our mission is to provide respite weeks for families that are battling a life-threatening illness, thereby enabling them to come back refreshed from some time away so they can re-engage and continue to fight their disease,” said Lynn, who is the director of the registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
There are no age limitations for people going on the trip, which is for a patient diagnosed by a medical doctor and undergoing treatment, as well as family members and friends who have been caring for the patient since the diagnosis.
The site of the respites must be drivable and within a 500-mile

across the commonwealth. During the PDC’s Townie Awards gala on May 28 in Bedford, the 82-year-old resident of Warwick Township accepted the award from PDC and was shown a video recounting her local volunteer activities.
“When I first found out about the award, I cried. I was very emotional,” said Shirley. “I was very surprised. (The award presentation) was pretty cool. It was very exciting and very humbling. It was an awesome thing.”
Shirley was nominated for the Volunteer of the Year award by the Venture Lititz Board of Directors, on which she served for nine years. Shirley still volunteers for every Venture Lititz event and activity.
But Shirley is also a longtime active volunteer with Lititz AMBUCS, the Lititz Women’s Club and Lititz Springs Park. In addition,
she and her husband, Bill “Flick” Flickinger, are regular volunteers at their church, St. Paul’s Lutheran in Lititz.
“I just think in order to have a community like Lititz, it takes a lot of volunteers,” said Shirley. “I love doing that. I love being a part of it. I always have. (Volunteering) is very important to our family.”
“I care for (the Lititz community) a lot, and not just making the downtown wonderful,” added Shirley. “I try to do what I can in the community. We always shop Lititz. I love the school district. I worked there, so it made me feel good to be a part of that also.”
Since retiring from her position as a receptionist and secretary at the Warwick School District in 2005, Shirley has had an opportunity to volunteer more. She currently volunteers about 10 to 15 hours a week, some weeks more than others.
But volunteering has always been an important part of the life that Shirley has led.
“I always volunteered, but since I retired it’s picked up,” said Shirley. “Sometimes there’s a lot going on. Most of our AMBUCS things are done together (with my husband). For Venture Lititz events, Flick helps me whenever I ask him to.”
In addition to providing shared experiences with Flick, volunteering helps Shirley remain active. It’s not why she does it; it’s just a beneficial side effect.
“(Staying active) is very important,” said Shirley. “I try to go to the Lititz recCenter every day, and I think that helps me with my energy level. It is a little scary when you first retire because you’re not really sure how it’s all going to work out.”
For Shirley, it’s hard to imagine a life that doesn’t include volunteering.
“People need to know that for the community to stay vibrant, it takes volunteers,” said Shirley. “I love doing everything. Volunteering doesn’t cost you anything, just some time and energy. But it’s important, very important.”

CASA Receives Grant
CASA of Lancaster and Lebanon Counties was awarded a $10,000 Impact Grant from the United Way of Lebanon County for the second year in a row.
Court-appointed special advocates are trained volunteers appointed to advocate for children who have been placed in the foster care system because of abuse or neglect. With the support of this year’s United Way of Lebanon County Impact Grant, CASA hopes to recruit, train, and swear in 20 new advocates and serve an additional 20 children. Three volunteers are currently in pre-service training.

Saquon Barkley is Special Guest at UDSF Gala
United Disabilities Services Foundation (UDSF) recently hosted its largest and most successful gala and event to date. Commemorating its 60 years of service, the Diamond Jubilee Gala hallmarked all the work the organization has
done and included a special guest, 2025 Super Bowl champion and Offensive Player of the Year for the 2024 NFL season, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
This year’s annual gala
Saquon Barkley signed a football for the live auction, as well as a helmet and a jersey.
a big-time artist. Just the community involvement was a positive, getting them out there and meeting other people. It gets them publicity for their art and expands their portfolios.”
Recently, a mural created by Friendship Community’s Heart Artists - local individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism - was hung on an outside wall of the Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum’s gift shop in Manheim Township. The mural was designed and painted to commemorate Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum’s 100th anniversary.
The bright, colorful mural was officially unveiled during a mural reveal ceremony on May 23. The community mural is designed to be a permanent feature at Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum.
“Art is a way for everyone to communicate without speaking,” said Goldsborough. “We have a lot of artists who are nonverbal
or have trouble communicating (verbally), and this gives them a way to talk. It’s also expressing yourself. Everyone wants to be heard.”
The 8-by-13-foot mural was designed and painted on portable, lightweight parachute material at the Friendship Community’s main office studio at 1149 E. Oregon Road, Lititz, before being transported to Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum. The mural took about a week to complete.
“There are a lot of colors and animals,” said Goldsborough. “It makes you happy to look at it. It’s supposed to give you the vibe of the Lititz area and the community we live in.”
“Local muralist Katie (Trainer) worked with us,” Goldsborough continued.
“She made an outline on a small piece of paper, and then we went through each step. She traced everything out, and then the Heart Artists painted. The colors were their choices, but they had a general design to follow.”

More than 20 Heart Artists from all over Lancaster County contributed to the community mural.
“They’re really talented individuals who bring out so much joy through their art,” said Goldsborough. “You get that by looking at the mural. Each and every one of them always has a positive attitude. When you look at the mural, you can see how much joy they bring.”
“For me, my favorite part of the project was meeting people and working with the artists,” she added. “It’s been so rewarding. When we say Friendship Community, it’s true. We’re friends, and we’re a community.”
Founded in 1972, Friendship Community also operates a studio and gallery for Heart Artists at 118 N. Water St., Lancaster. Currently, Friendship Community serves nearly 140 local individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism through its art studios, residential services, day programs and employment support.
“The fact that it’s been going so long shows there’s a need for our services,” said Goldsborough. “Every single year we’re growing. There aren’t too many organizations out there that do what we do. We’ve just evolved and gained support.”
“We’re trying to be a safe space,” continued Goldsborough. “We’re trying to cultivate capabilities of individuals. We’re giving people independence and showcasing their abilities. We want everyone to have a
way to be seen in the world. We want people to feel that they’re a part of their community.”

A Week Away
radius of A Week Away’s coverage area, which is made up of Adams, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Delaware, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, Perry, and York counties, along with Philadelphia.
A Week Away has granted 305 respites. Beaches are a popular destination, and the foundation also provides trips to the Pennsylvania mountains and will send families to urban areas if the patient has a particular interest in a cultural activity.
“The life of anyone involved with fighting cancer or any chronic life-threatening illness is turmoil,” Lynn said. “It’s like living in a cement mixer, and they never, ever get a break. If we can take them out of that world, that reality, for a week and give them a stress-free experience at no cost for them, we can buy time. And if we have time, we can give God and science a chance to work.”
Before he was diagnosed with brain cancer after having a seizure, Caleb was a seemingly healthy senior at Lampeter-Strasburg High School two months
before graduation with plans to study pre-med and wrestle in college.
He was briefly paralyzed following the first of his six brain surgeries but bounced back and was able to run and ride a bicycle.
Lynn recalls a visit to the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania when Caleb was 18. “He put his head on my shoulder and started crying,” she said. “That wasn’t like him at all.”
Caleb had noticed a young mother holding a tiny infant and said, “We’re so blessed. We have our family and our faith. Who helps them?”
Lynn said, “That was the day the seed (for the foundation) was planted. On the boardwalk, it sprouted.”
When he realized he would not have time to graduate from Millersville, Caleb took on a variety of jobs in the city to raise money for A Week Away.
The Light the Tree campaign is one of the foundation’s big fundraisers. In 2014, Caleb arranged for an ill child to hit the button that turned on the lights on the Christmas tree in Penn Square. In October, he suffered 40 seizures in
one day, and doctors told him he likely had less than a month to live. “You have to get me to my fundraiser,” Caleb responded.
He survived long enough to see the foundation grant its first respite and deliver a speech during the tree-lighting ceremony. Caleb died days later on Dec. 3, 2014, after becoming unconscious while writing thank you letters. It was one week before his 24th birthday.
Lynn keeps a collage on her desk featuring photos of some of the businesses and community members who have helped the foundation raise more than $2.5 million. “It’s a reminder that so many people have been with us for 11 years,” she said.
Lancaster County Motors Subaru sponsors the annual August golf tournament, which is already sold out. Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Speedwell Construction, and Hess Auctioneers are also major contributors. “My favorite donation is someone who gives $2 a month,” Lynn said. “That always puts a smile on my face.”
There are many avenues to help A Week Away,
including the donation of a property that can host respites. “God has blessed this organization. He has taken care of it,” Lynn said. “(The organization) always needs money, but the best way to help us is to give us referrals. We want to help people.”
For more information about the A Week Away Foundation, go to www .aweekaway.org.
“It’s Caleb’s legacy,” said Lynn, who keeps a quote in her office that reads, “I’ve not heard your voice in years, but my heart has conversations with you every day.”
“This is my way of being able to support his dreams,” Lynn added. “There’s a little selfish part, too. It puts me in touch with people who loved him and who he loved.”

Make It With Wool Contest Announced
The 2025 Pennsylvania Make It With Wool Contest will take place on Saturday, Oct. 4, in the PA Preferred Banquet Hall at the Farm Show Complex, 2300 N. Cameron St., Harrisburg.
Youths and adults who sew, knit, or crochet garments with wool or other animal fibers may participate. The categories will be preteens, for those ages 8 to 12; juniors, ages 13 to 16; seniors, ages 17 to 24; adults, age 25 and older; and made for others, for which the model and contestant may be any age. Ages are as of Jan. 1.

Judging will be based on the following criteria: appropriate to contestant’s lifestyle; fit and overall appearance; coordination of fabric or yarn with garment style and design; contestant’s presentation; construction quality; creativity in design and use of wool; and conveys or promotes the beauty, comfort, and versatility of wool.
All fabrics or yarns used in the body of the garment must be 60% or more animal fiber. Interfacings, linings, and trims do not need to be wool.
The Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool Growers Association and other donors will provide the funding for prizes for the winners in each category. The winners in the junior and senior categories will be eligible to compete at the National Make It With Wool Contest in Reno, Nev., in January 2026.
The goals of the contest are to promote the beauty and versatility of wool fabrics and yarns; to encourage personal creativity in sewing, knitting, crocheting, spinning, and weaving with wool fabrics and yarns; to recognize creative skills; to help participants develop life skills, including being responsible for oneself, being a good sport, and accepting judges’ decisions; and learning about and appreciating diversity.
