Pocono Lake dental office moves

Recently Lifetime Dental of Pocono Lake relocated to Stroudsburg, changing its name to Lifetime Dental of Stroudsburg West. The new location is at 106 Skinner Hill Road in Stroudsburg.

The longtime Pocono Lake dental practice was originally James A. Rinehimer, DDS and Dr. Rinehimer acknowledged mixed emotions about making the move.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my years practicing dentistry in Pocono Lake and so part of me was disappointed to relocate, but at the same time I’m really happy about what our new location provides,” he said. “The new location is more comfortable and more spacious, which I think our patients appreciate. The tight working spaces in our former office

worked well for a long time, but we grew and we reached the point where we needed a change and we’re delighted to say we found a great space.”

While there is a new name and a new location, the phone number for Lifetime Dental of Stroudsburg West remains the same as the Pocono Lake office, 570-646-9444.

“Patients see the same faces, we’re just in a different location,” said Rinehimer. “I think our patients like the new office and our team is really beginning to make the space our own.”

Lifetime Dental of Stroudsburg West is part of Lifetime Dental USA.

New Site Helps You Volunteer

Want to get involved in your community? United Way of Monroe County has just launched a new website to link up volunteers with local organizations in need of assistance. Visit: VolunteerMonroe.org.

This new volunteer matching service allows anyone in the community to find and respond to volunteer opportunities posted by non-profits across the county.

According to Michael Albert, president and CEO of the United Way of Monroe County, “We are super excited about this new site. It is really user friendly and offers an innovative socialmedia-type interface for volunteers.

It also provides great tools for nonprofits to engage volunteers. Partner agencies such as the Salvation Army, Pocono Alliance, Meals on Wheels, the Red Cross, Women’s Resources and dozens of other local agencies have already posted volunteer opportunities or events to get people connected with their community. We hope this site will make it easier for non-profits to find volunteers and for volunteers to find opportunities that they enjoy and find meaningful.”

For more information about the United Way of Monroe County or to invest in and support our community service efforts visit unitedwaymonroe. org, or call 570-629-5657. To look for volunteer opportunities visit www. volunteermonroe.org and to post a volunteer opportunity, simply click on “Learn How Get Connected Can do for you” on the site’s home page.

Cost is $5 per person. Pre-registration is required.

Cost is $40 for a series of six classes or $8 for individual classes. Classes run every other Thursday from March 24 to June 2. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, call 570-842-1506.

• Thurday, March 24: Backyard Beekeeping: Summer Apiary Management, 6-7:30 p.m. Backyard Beekeeping is a yearlong program appropriate for honeybee enthusiasts and was designed to support new and seasoned beekeepers through an entire apiary year. Participants will be introduced to apiary produce and proper preparation for an optimal crop. Topics will include the growth and development of honeybee colonies, the role and support of the queen, the queen-less colony and re-queening, apiary produce, preparation and placement of honey supers, what to expect and what to look for as your apiary flourishes, an overview of produce extraction, and a review of the apiary calendar.
