L A N C A S T E R C I T Y is special. It’s something we all know—but I can’t say it enough.

Learn about them in our Changemaker pages you’ll find placed throughout this issue. Then, explore our section on B Corp Certified businesses in Lancaster in partnership with ASSETS.

This certification will help continue our focus on building a bright future for our City along with the inspiring landscape of socially conscious community leaders creating a strong, sustainable foundation for success.

C H A N G E M A K E R : Lisa Taylor offers a space that encourages holistic wellness at Evolution Power Yoga, and strives to empower all those who walk through the doors.

Q : Why is it rewarding and critical to empower others?

A : I love to see others become a spark or a starter of community building. I see when they go through the classes and trainings at Evolution, confidence builds and a personal creativity grows. Who wants to live alone at the top of nothing? Without others bringing their fullest to life, there is little for ourselves to be inspired by. We

all create uniquely; I learn and am inspired by appreciating the offering of others.

Fresh Face: Metro Pet Vet T H E R E ’ S G O O D N E W S for pets who live in the city: a beloved local vet is opening its very first downtown Lancaster location! Metro Pet Vet is the latest addition to North Mulberry Street, within walking distance of Downtown and the Northwest section of the City. Metro Pet Vet, located within the Lancaster City limits, is owned and operated by the team behind the full service Manheim Pike Veterinary Hospital. With more than two decades’ worth of experience practicing veterinary medicine throughout Lancaster County, owner Dr. Jeff Steed has always dreamed

of bringing a vet’s office to the City. He and his family attend First United Methodist Church Downtown and are active supporters of the Fulton Theatre, cherishing their time spent in the City. Over the years, Dr. Steed has begun to notice more and more pet lovers out and about on the sidewalks and in the parks of Lancaster City. One night, he and his wife happened upon a “Dogs’ Night Out” on the patio at the Gallery Row restaurant Pour, and decided it was time to make that Downtown vet’s office dream come true. “We’ve witnessed all the new energy, passion, and business coming to

Downtown,” says Dr. Steed. “We want to be a part of that energy, and provide a convenient service for Lancaster’s pet owners.” At Metro Pet Vet, you can expect the same friendly, professional environment and expert care that Dr. Steed and his team have been practicing for the past 19 years. The office’s pet-themed art gallery features work by local artists. With access to the full service Manheim Pike Veterinary Hospital, Metro Pet Vet is the logical choice for city-living pet owners.

CHANGEMAKER:

Lindsley Development Consulting develops and executes successful capital campaigns in Lancaster and beyond to further enrich communities.

Todd Lindsley & Susan Broomell Q : What kind of impact has Lindsley Development had on organizations?

A : Lindsley Development Consulting

has been directly involved in more than 250 capital campaignsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;many in Lancaster and in PA. With our client partners all over the country, we have raised more than $1 billion dollars for everything from colleges, hospitals, theaters, museums, retirement communities, private schools, YMCAs, social service agencies, historic

properties, community centers, land conservancies, affordable housing, orphan efforts, and so many other great causes!

Q : What is rewarding about successful campaigns?

A : Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun! There is great joy in

successful campaigns. The goal of fundraising is to enrich lives, change lives, and save lives. Almost every day we see what volunteer hours and dollars can do to help people.

Part of our job as consultants is to connect the donors who care about enriching, changing, and saving lives with the organizations who do it well and consistently. We love it when a person with a generous heart and a specific idea for making the world a better place meets the nonprofit that has a plan and a determination to make those things happen. That is fundraising gold.

GIVING BACK Making a difference in the lives of others.

Giving Back: Timbrel Chyatee F O R T I M B R E L C H YAT E E , the dream of sharing her culture with her community through fashion has always been her mission. It was a thread that weaved through her life, connecting her to her heritage and history while also tying her to her passion and purpose —to impact and elevate other women here and across the globe. Timbrel was born in India but raised in Lancaster. For as long as she can remember, she wished that there was a place in her hometown that celebrated and connected her and others to South Asian culture. As a stylist and designer with a passion for social enterprise, she founded such a place: Lush Bazaar on Queen Street. Timbrel is thrilled to fuse her Indian and American influences to create a one-of-a-kind shopping

destination for the women of Lancaster. Lush Bazaar offers everything from couture clothing and wedding dresses to accessories and home furnishings. Offering hand-dyed, handcrafted, gorgeously detailed pieces is just part of what makes Lush Bazaar extraordinary. Beyond the gorgeous clothing is a pattern of beautiful purpose and mission creating a story of hope and renewal through each creation in the store. Giving back has always been an important part of Timbrel’s personal values and business plan. Each item offered at Lush Bazaar is lovingly and meticulously crafted in India where Timbrel works closely with underprivileged women. Her work helps provide these women with a

stable environment and a fair income in exchange for the talent and passion that is woven into each garment. Through one-of-a-kind boutique pieces, Timbrel invites the Lancaster community to connect to the stories of these women in India and to become part of the fabric of socially conscious fashion. “Stories mean so much to me and there’s a story behind everything in this store—from the woman who stayed late to pin the last pearl on a special piece to how a fabric is lovingly chosen; I’m honored to share the inspiration of those stories here.” Learn more about Timbrel’s mission and shop clothing and accessories for women, men, and bridal at lushbazaar.com.

Fresh Face: Anita’s On Walnut A N I TA S K R O C K I has been successfully making and selling biscotti out of Reading for over a decade but recently, she and her husband Bob felt the tug to start making something more. As they tossed ideas around with their family, the cafe that now warms 324 East Walnut Street went from a pipedream to a reality and Anita’s on Walnut opened its doors to customers. As obstacles melted away and things fell into place, Anita and Bob knew that this venture was meant to provide Lancaster with more than a delicious retail bakery and cozy cafe, but also with a place to land, a place to be seen and

welcomed, and to belong. With their faith as a compass, their love for people as motivation, and their deep Italian roots, Anita’s entices people to stop in for more than just their mouthwatering pastries. Anita’s on Walnut not only aspires to offer the community a delicious place to eat and a quiet moment to sip coffee but also an opportunity to connect, recharge, and be reminded that they matter. With an ever-changing menu, Anita’s is open Monday – Saturday for breakfast and lunch, and offers a variety of sandwiches, soups, and pastry. Already, each customer, contractor,

employee, and vendor have left an imprint on the cafe. Anita and Bob point at fixtures and facets of the cafe and lovingly recount the story of how it came to be and why it’s important. They’re excited about connecting with and encouraging everyone who walks through their doors and are humbled to be part of revitalizing and positively impacting their neighborhood. “We just love people. We love listening and we love sharing. We know we’re here for a reason and we’re grateful to be here.”

The American Hospital Association recently awarded LG Health the 2018 Foster G. McGaw Prize for Excellence in Community Service. This national award is given every year to one healthcare organization that has shown exemplary commitment to establishing and facilitating programs that improve the overall health and well-being of its community.

LG Health received the Foster G. McGaw Prize because of its collaborative relationships with organizations across Lancaster County, and their explicit efforts to go upstream to address community health.

LG Health utilizes a holistic, strategic improvement model to identify and address community health priorities, focusing not only on providing highquality medical care, but also on addressing the social determinants of health. Social determinants are nonmedical factors that affect individual and community health, and include education, employment, poverty, housing, social structures, and access to healthy food and transportation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 80% of an individual’s and a community’s health is related to these social determinants.

“We are honored that the American Hospital Association has recognized our community health improvement model as a way to improve health and wellbeing of a community like ours,” says Jan Bergen, LG Health’s President and CEO. “We are grateful for the partnerships we

Better jobs in turn can create a healthy community where prosperity is shared by all. This innovative project used the globally-recognized B Impact Assessment. ASSETS regularly uses this tool to help businesses across Lancaster County measure and improve their social and environmental impact. LG Health credits its continued success in large part to its partnership with other community-based organizations who make up the fabric of Lancaster.

“Any accomplishments we have had in advancing community health over the last 25 years happened because of the irreplaceable contributions of our partner organizations,” says Jan Bergen, LG Health’s President and CEO.

Chris Laboy came to Lancaster as a seasoned mechanic with a goal of opening his own business. He successfully applied for a loan from Community First Fund to purchase a vacant property and transform it into an auto repair shop. As his business grew, Community First provided capital for Chris to expand his business by renovating more space and purchasing additional equipment.

Community Impact

Michele and Michael Stauffer, owners of Ricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bread, are committed to providing their customers with high quality products. Several years ago, they came to Community First Fund to refinance the original loan for their purchase of the bakery. When increased demand for their popular baked goods exceeded the capacity of the Queen Street shop, they returned to Community First Fund for working capital to open a satellite location and purchase additional equipment.

Community First Fund recently provided financing to the Children Deserve A Chance Foundation for working capital to expand their operations to aid in the financial, emotional, and spiritual development of underprivileged and disabled youth. Through its Attollo Prep Program, they work closely with students to develop individualized plans of action with one goal in mind: getting every child into college.

What if we told you that same museum presents 8-10 special exhibitions and over 20 programs every year—and that admission was 100 percent free?

Since that time, Fulton Theatre productions have expanded in size and scope and audiences have grown to 166,000 patrons. This amazing growth has tested the limits of the theatre’s infrastructure. It is time, once again, to invest in the “Grand Old Lady of Prince Street”.

The monumental expansion on Prince, King, and Water streets includes new rehearsal spaces, larger backstage areas, an expanded lobby, additional restrooms, guest artist housing, and new retail space on King Street. Part of the fabric of downtown, the Fulton Theatre’s expansion will have cultural and economic significance in the City of Lancaster.

BS SF LOCAL BREW TOUR:

Wacker Brewing Company

The craft beer movement has been sweeping across the country, led by a desire for high quality flavors and an urge to support local economies and communities. Lancaster City is no exception, and BSSF wanted to showcase some of the unique local breweries with a new sponsored series called BSSF Local Brew Tour that will appear in each Fig Lancaster issue in 2019. Cheers! W A C K E R B R E W I N G C O M PA N Y goes way back to 1853.

consumed in the United States, and was considered the “Munich of the States.” After more than a century building a reputation as a beloved Lancaster beer, Wacker closed in 1956. It remained a fond memory to Wacker drinkers for decades, until 2014. That’s when Bryan Kepner, a chemical engineer, serial entrepreneur, and local restaurateur who grew up in Lancaster’s beer business, decided it was time to revive that memory. Bryan reopened Wacker Brewing in 2014 at its current Grant Street location at a time when the industry had begun to experience a resurgence. The idea was to tell a beloved local story, with a fresh spin. For Bryan, the story is personal: His great grandfather worked for Wacker as a delivery man and his father owned a beer distributor in Lancaster, where he scored his first job. For Bryan, running a brewery may have always been a dream, but the day to day isn’t as dreamy as you might think. A typical day is spent cleaning, cleaning,

and then cleaning some more. Because brewing beer is a biological process, sanitization is important to preserving the perfect finished product. For a trained chemical engineer like Bryan, it’s even more important. “The beer industry is a huge part of our history here in Lancaster,” says Bryan. “And our intention is to remind the community of what brewing means to us, not just today but for the past 150 years or so.” Visitors can experience the classic Wacker beer, which is preserved in the Bohemian Pilsner, German Pale Ale, and Little Dutch beers, and explore a rotating list of specialty brews like fan-favorite Oatmeal Stout. “The challenge for us is straddling that line, staying true and authentic to Wacker’s historical legacy as an industrial, blue collar beer but also fitting into the current microbrew scene and satisfying those flavor seekers who are looking for exciting new beers.”

A : Our desire is to make

important for many reasons: they help us to be fully human, to experience beauty, to overcome our differences, and to unite us as a community. We will attract a wider audience from outside the community of Lancaster, as well as our support from our own community.

Esther Huynh

Q : How does your

organization engage with the community to make an impact?

A : One of the biggest

ways we make an impact is through our events, one of the most successful being our Race Against Racism (RAR), which takes place on the last Saturday in April every year. It is the longest consecutive running RAR in the country and brings more than 3,000 people together in one morning, rain or shine. The Race Against Racism funds YWCA Lancaster’s Social Justice and Advocacy programs, and supports those who seek peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

Q : Why is it so important

for people to support the Race Against Racism, add their voices to help social justice, and be advocates for positive social change?

A : We all know that one

race isn’t going to change the social and racial inequities in our City and our community. But, when individual members of

10 NORTH LIME STREET

our community—parents, coworkers, neighbors— participate in this race and learn more about the YWCA and its services, the hope is that they begin to learn more about the different and unequal ways that people are treated— ways they’re treated for reasons that can’t be changed like skin color, family make up, number of parents raising children, etc. And that’s what social justice is. We all need to understand what diversity, equity, and inclusion really mean, and work toward those ideals for all who are marginalized. This should happen in our homes, our institutions, our workplaces, and neighborhoods. “Coordinating school aged kids to run puts our work in perspective. These kids are getting the confidence they need in life by completing something as meaningful to them as the Race Against Racism, both in the reason and the physical endurance. Something they may not get to do otherwise.”

Sarah Yukie Gingrich, Founder of Create Karma WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF A POSITIVE, HEALTHY COMMUNITY?

WHY IS A HOLISTIC WELLNESS SO CRITICAL TO SOMEONE’S LIFE?

We live in a world where the standard of living is such that many people have the ability to lead a life that empowers them and makes a difference in what matters to them. Right now, obesity is estimated to cost between $147 – 210 billion dollars yearly, more than our budget for education. When wellness can be the foundation for so much positive change in one individual’s life, magnifying that impact to form a positive, healthy community will make a real difference.

Holistic wellness means giving people the tools to use self-inquiry, communication, and structures to look at all aspects of wellness for themselves: including community engagement, connection to inner awareness or the ability to be present, and the capacity to experience our emotions without being dominated by them. Frequently in our culture, we confuse fitness (or yikes, thinness!) with wellness, and I am passionate about changing our vision of wellness to include our community, our spirit,

our mental health, and our ability to be powerfully and positively connected with our whole being. Our programs “create karma” by transforming participants into responsible, generous, inspiring, and WELL leaders. When we are generous and compassionate with ourselves, our lens of the world changes and we have the energy and capacity to create the actions (or karma) that create a fulfilling life. In changing our perspective from what we believe we are “supposed” to want to observing what actually has us be complete, we can all create a life that works.

In each 2019 issue of Fig, Stifel is sponsoring this feature on an organization that is showcasing a strong mission of community transformation to uplift and inspire our readers. When Bob Brandt founded Benchmark Construction in 1985, his son Bobby was seven years old. More than 30 years later, Bobby is the new Benchmark president while his father steps back, transitioning toward retirement. (Bob will serve as chairman of the board until 2020.)

The Ware Center at Millersville University Smart Health Innovation Lab at Penn Medicine Lancaster General

For a forward-thinking company like Benchmark, a transition as big as this one has been years in the making. With a vision for the future, a long-term plan, and an excellent leadership team in place, Bob is confident that his legacy will be well preserved. “I have always hoped that Benchmark would continue beyond my time there,” says Bob. “And to be able to execute a transition that upholds our corporate values of integrity, loyalty, leadership, and balance is a dream come true.”

Bob & Bobby Brandt

Bob and Benchmark CEO Mike Callahan have always been intentional about building an executive team that could support the inevitable conclusion that was their retirements. This included hiring consultants to help identify gaps and develop leadership skills, expanding the role of Human Resources, and providing training programs. “For me, this opportunity is less about the business we are in and more about the opportunity to carry on the business,” says Bobby. “Our company has put together people and processes to achieve for our community and employees and we will continue that legacy.”

Q&A with Reynolds Middle School Architectural Firm Marotta/Main WHICH DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS DO YOU BELIEVE ARE THE MOST ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT? Lancaster’s Historic School Buildings designed by C. Emlen Urban. WHAT CITY PROJECT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT RIGHT NOW? Reynolds Middle School. This was the last building designed by C. Emlen Urban, a leading Lancaster architect who designed 13 public schools here during his 45-year career in the early 20th century. He is known for strong, navigable layouts, abundant natural lighting, durable and appropriate materials, and exteriors that signify the building’s purpose. In his address at the December 1905 dedication ceremony for the Lancaster Boys High School, Urban spoke of the requisite use of high-quality materials and workmanship in architecture, “to build strong and substantial,” in order to produce solid and enduring work.* WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU IN DESIGNING EDUCATIONAL SPACES? Sustainability. Our studio employs a sustainable design approach on all projects, using U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) standards—which include considerations such as acoustics, lighting, indoor air quality, and energy and water use. We believe high-performance buildings are integral to a healthy environment and conserving natural resources and protecting the environment is good for people, business, and the planet. *To Build Strong and Substantial: The Career of Architect C.

Landmarks L ANCA STER Y WCA 1915 was a good year; it was the year the design contract was signed to commence work on the new Lancaster YWCA to be located at the intersection of East Orange and North Lime Streets! The contract was awarded to a young and rising Lancaster City architect by the name of Henry Yeagley Shaub who partnered with a Pittsburgh architect, H.S. Estep. The 28-year-old Shaub and Estep joined forces to win a design competition for the project. This highly sought after opportunity had drawn the attention of architects from as far away as the Midwest. Founded in 1889, the Lancaster YWCA was already pioneering change for social justice and women’s empowerment. A new building would embody its worthy mission in bricks and mortar for all to see. The architects chose Georgian Revival for its timeless style and visual strength. The use of Flemish bond red brick, cast stone details, fanlight windows, and an elevated portico with Tuscan columns assured that this fivestory structure left a lasting impression for all who entered or walked by the building. After the YWCA, Shaub went on to design McCaskey High School, Shaub’s Shoe Store, Posey Iron Works, Groff’s Funeral Home, and the Lancaster County National Bank. Last year, the YWCA celebrated its 100th anniversary in Shaub’s building and continues its commitment to make a difference in the lives of women in our community! The building, like the mission, is timeless.

W H AT N E E D I S SWA N T RY I N G T O M E E T ? On any given day in Lancaster, it is estimated that 4,600 children have a parent or parents in prison. Sadly, when a parent goes to prison, their children often suffer physically, mentally, and emotionally. They may experience the trauma of separation and abandonment, as well as homelessness, and continued or deepening poverty. This often results in behavioral issues and substandard academic performance. These children are often invisible, sometimes by choice. They suffer in silence, due to the stigma that surrounds them and the absence of relevant supports.

Lancaster has proven itself a place that is mindful of how our choices affect our community and how our community impacts the world around us.

They are grappling with how to reflect and honor the deeper values of the business, their customers, and communities. Enter Craig Dalen, Director of Impact Business Strategy at ASSETS.

WHERE DID THE IDEA FOR BO PEEP’S BONNETS COME FROM? When my mom started chemo treatments for ovarian cancer in 2012, I found myself scouring the web trying to find fashionable knit hats to keep her warm. That’s when it dawned on me to take my love of knitting to the next level! I would sell my hats on Etsy and use the profits to fund a hat charity for cancer patients. And voila! Bo Peep’s Bonnets was born! Now we offer knits for all ages, as well as original knitting patterns, (etsy.com/shop/ BoPeepsBonnets), and anyone with cancer can request a free hat on our website at BoPeepsBonnets.com.

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR DESIGNS? My cats! It may sound like I’m a crazy cat lady, but so many wonderful opportunities have stemmed from the cat-inspired products I’ve designed. My cat hats have been featured on the Today Show, in runway shows, and in the Disney movie “Bad Hair Day.”

Empowering stories about women who have big ideas, get things done, and rock motherhood.

HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE BALANCE? I think the key to achieving balance is being adaptable. Somedays I work 12 hours so that the next day I only need to work four. That’s the wonderful thing about working from home—you can make it work for you.

WHAT’S YOUR BEST BUSINESS ADVICE? People are your best resources. Give the kindest, most sincere, and thankful customer service possible in every circumstance. Truly treat your customers better than you would want to be treated. They chose to shop with you over so many other vendors—that’s amazing! I am overwhelmingly thankful for each and every customer, and it is my sincere honor to knit for anyone facing cancer. I believe in the power of prayer and healing. I’ve seen it. I’ve had it happen to me. I hope that whether you purchase a hat or receive one as a donation, that you feel the love and thankfulness from my hands to your head.
