“People know (the IU13) from the lens of special education classrooms, and that is the foundation of who we are, but we have a 50-year history of doing really good work,” said Shannan Guthrie, program director with the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 (IU13). “We take that dedication to other areas.” Among those areas are helping teachers with curriculum development and school districts to maximize funding. A sampling of the IU13’s activities will be highlighted during the group’s 50th anniversary celebration on Thursday, June 9, at the Lancaster offices, 1020 New Holland Ave., Lancaster, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Organizers will have a plethora of activities ready for attendees to enjoy. Among those will be the Star Lab, a portable planetarium that can hold up to 20 people, which will be set up in the IU’s large conference room. A demonstration of Brailing services will give attendees an idea of the number of books and flyers the IU transfers into Braille format each year. “We will showcase our Refugee Center and our cultural navigator services,” said Guthrie, who explained that cultural navigators help families to meet with other families and navigate the system to find babysitters, shelter, education, and health care services. A demonstration of orientation and mobility services will be held, and STEM activities will show how lessons can be adapted for all levels of learning. “It will be in an expo style with examples (of what the IU13 does) all over the place,” said Guthrie, who added that Lisa Sanchez, a representative of Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation, will talk about summer camps. Other stops on the visit might include learning about organ tissue donation or meeting Luca, a facility dog that that travels to classrooms within the IU.
“We will have free hot dogs, water, and cupcakes for families while supplies last,” said Guthrie, who noted that school resource officers will hand out icy pops, and that food trucks will be located in the courtyard.
Organizers have also prepared a special page that highlights milestones of IU13 history at www.iu13.org/history. “IUs were founded in 1965,” said Guthrie. “The IUs opened their offices in 1971.”
Guthrie emphasized that members of the public are welcome at the free event. “The idea is to celebrate (and) learn about the work we do,” she said, noting that she hopes attendees will leave with “an understanding of the breadth of IU13.” “There are so many amazing things happening that people don’t (know about),” she said.
Readers who would like to attend are asked to register so that organizers can plan to have enough food and door prizes. To register, please email communications@iu13.org. For answers to specific questions, please call 717-606-1655.
Barbershop Singers Honored At Competition
Vocal Harmonix, the Lancaster Chapter of Sweet Adelines (SA) International, attended the Atlantic Bay-Mountain Region 19 competition, which was held at the Marriott Conference Center in Lancaster from April 28 to May 1. This is a yearly competition among groups from a region that spans five surrounding states. Choruses gather, perform, and are adjudicated in their craft of female singing in the barbershop style. Vocal Harmonix won first place in the Small Chorus category and third place overall for the weekend.
Vocal Harmonix, a women’s a cappella show chorus providing musical, educational and leadership opportunities, has performed for audiences locally and throughout the world. Local venues have included Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre and the Ware Center, and Vocal Harmonix has also sung the national anthem at a Lancaster Barnstormers game. Although based in Lancaster, Vocal Harmonix draws members from Berks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin and York counties, as well as Hagerstown, Md.
The group rehearses on Mondays at 7 p.m. at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1905 Broad St., East Petersburg. An open rehearsal will be held on June 6, and prospective members are invited to participate. For more information, visit www.vocalharmonix.org or email vocalharmonix @gmail.com.

In the case of rain, the concert will take place on Sunday, July 3. The group is inspired by the early 20th-century tradition of the community mandolin orchestra. The quintet consists of Greg Rohrer on mandolin, Kevin Neidig on mandolin and octave mandolin, Tom Cook on mandola, and Henry Koretzky on mandocello and mandolin. Neidig,

Swing Street will present fun renditions of mainstream jazz standards and jazz adaptations of popular tunes.
