Holly DeKarske, executive director of Venture Lititz, is looking forward to A Night Out With Venture Lititz, an upcoming annual event that the organization is planning. “The theme is ‘Havana Nights,’” explained DeKarske. This year’s night out will be held at Brownstone Manor, 2 W. Orange St., Lititz, on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 7 to 10 p.m. Attendees should enter at the Broad Street door. “It’s a celebration with a theme, and people tend to dress to the theme,” said DeKarske. For those who do not wish to dress in tropical attire, DeKarske suggested “business casual cocktail” attire. DeKarske added that the décor inside the venue will include sets that are designed to make the area resemble a courtyard. Activities and games at the event will be inspired by the culture of Cuba.

The Patriotic Stitchers for Veterans do not meet on a regular basis. The two women who oversee the program, Jean Summers and Kathy Baker, coordinate picking up quilts and afghans from members and then see that the comforters are delivered to one of four area hospice centers to be distributed to veterans. However, on a summer morning, 14 members of the group gathered at Our Lady of Lourdes in New Holland to get better acquainted and discuss a possible future fundraiser that is being planned with the Upper Leacock Township War Memorial Association (ULTWMA), See Patriotic Stitchers pg 2
