Moravian Manor’s Climate Is Conducive to Creating
BY JEFF FALK
Data confirms that activity and exercise can lead to a longer life. But activity and exercise can also lead to a more meaningful and more fruitful life.
Moravian Manor’s upcoming event promotes activity and interaction, which is very much in keeping with the local retirement community’s mission.
“When people move into Moravian Manor, they move here to live,” said Jennifer Shutt, who’s been Moravian Manor’s director of community life for 18 years. “It’s important to engage your brain and mind and fingers. That’s how you age well. Just because seniors are retired doesn’t mean they can’t contribute to our society.”
Moravian Manor Communities is staging this year’s edition of its
annual Festival of the Arts from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8, in the multipurpose Steinman Hall on its campus at 300 W. Lemon St., Lititz. The event, which is free and open to the public, is designed to showcase the artwork of Moravian Manor residents and local artists and stimulate interaction among residents and between residents and members of the local community.
“We are a community within a community,” said Shutt. “Our best asset is Lititz. We have a lot of residents who can contribute to the community. Moravian Manor succeeds when Lititz succeeds. We don’t have a community center on campus; we use the Lititz recCenter. That synergy between Moravian Manor and the community is what makes us all succeed.”
Among the handcrafted creations that will be on display and for

Gifts are as plentiful as ideas. Their scope is limited only by our imaginations.
Gifts are everywhere. They are all around us.
At the Lititz Art Association’s Holiday Gift Bazaar, gifts almost seem to find their future givers.
“The key to giving a great gift is the memories associated with that gift or the memories that are going to become associated with that gift,” said Catherine Zdancewic, the chairperson for the Holiday Gift Bazaar. “Different types of artwork can be very personal. Sometimes you see a gift and it makes you think of a person. When you see a piece of artwork that reminds you of a person, it makes you want to give it to that person.”
The Lititz Art Association (LAA) is preparing to present this

There are many meaningful ways to honor veterans for their service. One opportunity that’s designed to be snappy, satisfying and entertaining is an upcoming Corsair Blue Jazz Orchestra (CBJO) performance.
“The audience can expect great music, good entertainment,” said Joe Chestnutt, president emeritus and one of the foundering members of CBJO. “The
sale at the Festival of the Arts are stained glass; sea glass jewelry; ink, watercolor and acrylic paintings and prints; wood crafts; greeting cards; ceramics; weaving; leathercraft; Wheat Straw art; fabric art;

pastel and mixed media; photography; and quilts. The event will also feature a sale of gently used books.
Food will be available at Moravian Manor Communities’ Gallery Café.
“These artists are very talented,” said Shutt. “This is not a craft show. This is an art show. The quality of work that they’re putting out is pretty remarkable.”
The festival will flaunt the creations of 20 artists, a dozen of whom reside at Moravian Manor and eight of whom reside in surrounding local communities.
“These people are creative, very creative,” said Shutt. “A lot of these people didn’t work in the art field, but in their retirement, they
CBJO
have turned to the arts. They have worked on their crafts.”
More than 100 local community members are expected to join the artists, other Moravian Manor residents and their families for a celebration of the arts. A portion of the sales will go toward Moravian Manor’s benevolent fund, which helps finance the retirement community’s residents who have run out of money.
“When the artisans agree to participate, the fee for their tables goes to the benevolent fund, and so do part of their proceeds,” said Shutt. “I’m always very happy when people come on our campus and see what Moravian Manor is all about. People at Moravian Manor
are looking for ways to engage people in the community. This is a very community-minded retirement community.”
The Festival of the Arts was established at Moravian Manor in 2021. Up until this year, the resident artists’ works were displayed on the porches of their independent residences.
“The idea came from the artisans who live here,” said Shutt. “They wanted to have an arts show. I have always said that it’s not my job to tell you how to live your retirement. You tell me how you want to live in retirement, and my job is to make it happen.”
Opened in 1975 as an extension of the mission of the northern
province of the Moravian Church, Moravian Manor is a faith-based retirement community that offers varying levels of senior care. Currently, more than 450 individuals are living in independent residences at Moravian Manor.
“We excel in anticipating changing lifestyles and in the needs of the people we serve,” said Shutt. “We’re here to help people grow and live their best lives. We provide services and activities that enhance the journey of aging. We’re just lucky to have all these artists living in our community, and we want to keep them creating.”

band’s going to have a great show. When the band was founded, one of the tenets was to do things to help veterans.”
CBJO will present this year’s edition of its annual Veterans Day concert at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9 - two days prior to the national observance of Veterans Day - inside Highland Presbyterian Church’s acoustic-friendly sanctuary at 500 E.
Roseville Road, Lancaster. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The event is free to attend, and a freewill offering will be accepted during intermission.
“It’s a nice, large venue, and the acoustics are fabulous,” said Chestnutt. “From the band’s perspective, everyone’s excited. I personally think it’s one of our best gigs. It’s exciting music. The cool vibe we get is from the audience. They really get into it.”
CBJO’s 110-minute performance will feature two 50-minute sets separated by a 10-minute intermission. The concert will include 28 pieces of music, mostly patriotic and big band numbers from the 1940s through the 1970s.
During the intermission, audience members will be informed about the concert’s beneficiary, Tunnels to Towers Foundation, and its
work to build a 64-unit apartment complex in Harrisburg for veterans and first responders. Organizers are hoping to raise about $2,000 for the foundation.
“It’s something that has a direct impact on homeless veterans in our area,” said Chestnutt, a trumpet-playing veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a resident

of Manheim Township. “It’s a very visible impact in our region for doing good for veterans. I think this is really special because we will be able to go and see their work.”
CBJO comprises 20 talented, mainly local musicians playing the upright bass, the piano, drums, alto saxophones, tenor saxophones, a bari saxophone, clarinets, trombones and trumpets. The orchestra will be accompanied by four vocalists.
“The orchestra will be playing pieces from Glenn Miller to Count Basie,” said Chestnutt. “It’s big band music from all eras. It’s just the range this band has. It’s stuff people will know when they hear it, which makes it very exciting. We have one of the most talented trumpet players I’ve ever heard, and he will be featured in a number of pieces.”
“I like the whole performance,” continued Chestnutt. “Some of my favorite stuff is when the vocalists sing; they are just fabulous. But I think the highlight is the armed forces salute. We ask veterans to stand up when they hear their branch’s song, and when they do, everyone applauds. It’s just a great moment.”
CBJO, which was formed through a reunion of Manheim Township’s Class of 1978 11 years ago, typically performs 10 times a year.
“When you’re playing and you get a real positive reaction, it does something for you,” said Chestnutt. “It just makes you play that much better. It just fires you up.”
“Everybody just wants to play,”
Chestnutt added. “(The musicians) enjoy playing and performing. We aren’t paid, professional musicians, but (the musicians) have got a very good organization to play with.”
Included in the orchestra’s upcoming concerts are a 7 p.m. show at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown on Tuesday, Nov. 18; “A Swingin’ Christmas” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14, at Grace United Methodist Church in Hummelstown; and “A Swingin’ Christmas” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 21,
at Salem United Methodist in Manheim.
“When we formed, we instru mented it like Glenn Miller did his band,” said Chestnutt. “The caliber of players has improved as we’ve evolved over the years. Musical director Keith Wiley gets the best out of the band. The band is evolving; it’s not stagnant, and the musicians are playing more challenging music.”

Holiday Gift Bazaar
year’s edition of the organization’s annual Holiday Gift Bazaar from 3 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 14, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, inside the Lititz Church of the Brethren’s hall, 300 W. Orange St., Lititz. The event is free to attend, and all proceeds from the sales of the merchandise will benefit the presenting artists.
Some locals view the Holiday Gift Bazaar as the unofficial opening of the holiday gift-giving season.
“It’s festive. People are looking forward to the holiday season,” said Zdancewic. “The goal is to get the public to see some great local artisan work and given them opportunities to purchase the work to support these local artists. The customers will get to meet the artists and find out how they make their art. It’s going to start to get people into a festive mood.”

artists, most of whom are LAA members. The artists work in a variety of mediums, and available for purchase will be handmade items like fashion jewelry, fine jewelry, functional and decorative ceramics, watercolor, oil and acrylic paintings, graphic designs, holiday ornaments, greeting cards, textiles and wood carvings.
Also available at the bazaar will be quilts and textiles from the Lititz Church of the Brethren’s Golden Needles sewing group.
“It’s a large variety of items to choose from,” said Zdancewic. “These artists are extremely talented. The paintings are beautiful. Their passion comes through in the work they do. They make their ideas come to life.”
A resident of Lititz, Zdancewic will be presenting dainty and lightweight wiry rings and necklaces that she designed and crafted for purchase at the bazaar.
“I’m hoping to sell lots of my pieces for people to share with their family and friends,” said Zdancewic. “I’d love to have conversations that lead to custom work. I look at shows like this as a way to make sales and get in touch with new customers, customers I haven’t met yet.”
“I love having conversations with people when they come by,” she added, “and find out what they’re planning to give for the holidays and what their plans are for the holidays.”
Almost 1,000 visitors are expected to attend the two-day event.
“We’re hoping each individual artist has a wonderful season to help support their creating throughout the coming year,” said Zdancewic. “Each individual artist may have a different outcome. Some could get commission work after the fact. As a group, we’re not collecting money toward the art association.”
One of four major events that LAA conducts throughout the year, the Holiday Gift Bazaar was founded in 2015. The next event on LAA’s calendar will be the new-look Square Foot Show in the spring of 2026.
“We try to space our events out throughout the year,” said Zdancewic. “When we started the Holiday Gift Bazaar, we were looking for another way to get local people in touch with local artisans. The artists have gotten into a groove of knowing what to expect from this show. This year, we’ve decided to step it up a bit and give it a more elevated look, a more consistent look. There are artists who work really hard and create amazing work, and we want to showcase their talents.”
