the veteran,” Brewer said. “Once the banner goes up on the pole, there’s not much you can do but look it at from afar. This has also been a great opportunity for veterans’ families to surprise them with the banner.” T hat ’s what happened in Beeman’s case.

For almost 60 years, Elizabethtown Child Care Center (ECCC) has been providing services to children 6 weeks of age to fifth grade. Now the organization, located within Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren at 777 S. Mount Joy St., could use your help. Applications are being accepted for board members. “A good board member is willing to volunteer their time to support an organization that has provided care to generations of children in the Elizabethtown community,” said Joe Hudzick, chairperson of the ECCC board of directors. “Board members at ECCC are dedicated to supporting the mission of providing high-quality, educational, safe and affordable early learning to families in the Elizabethtown area and supporting the staff at the center in implementing that mission.” Hudzick noted that many residents of Elizabethtown have had direct experience with ECCC or know someone who has a child who attended the center. “ Volunteering to join the board provides an opportunity to support an organization that has provided high-quality care to children in our community since 1969,” he shared. “As a

urrounded by friends and family, Gerald L. Beeman of Elizabethtown smiled broadly as his picture was taken with a banner bearing his image and dates of military service. Beeman was one of many veterans present at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church when the Elizabethtown Lions Club revealed its last batch of banners prior to their installation around town.

on the poles 10 feet above the ground, we wanted people to be able to see them and share their service experience with their families,” said Chuck Brewer, president of the Lions Club. “You get to hear some great stories.” Among those stories are tales of two Medal of Honor recipients,

a veteran who had Gen. George Patton serve as his best man at his wedding, and the tale of the sole survivor who bailed out of his B-17 after it was shot down over Germany. “We also get to take quite a few pictures of families - kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews - with

“We just wanted to honor him in a way that he would be totally surprised.” “I got drafted, but I’m glad I went because it was a privilege ser ving ,” said Beeman, who served in the Army in Germany from 1966 to 1968. “I never regretted it.” The banner reveal, held in mid-December, marked the 11th batch of banners since the Lions Club began the project in 2023. Each offered an opportunity for the veterans to view their banners up close and celebrate with family and friends. “Prior to the banners going up

For daughter Kimberly Neff, honoring her father in this way was important. “We’ve always admired his time in the service,” she said. “He raised us to be patriots and to promote patriotism. We ’re ver y proud of him, and we just wanted to honor him in a way that he would be totally surprised.” Veteran Diane Bretz , who ser ved in the Air Force from 1977 to 1979, also attended the banner reveal with members of her family. Bretz served in Okinawa, Japan, as well as in Korea, working as a cook. “My family told me they were doing a banner, but I

Lions members went to people’s houses to take pictures of old photos to use on banners, and others brought banners to the homes of veterans who couldn’t travel to the reveal events. At each banner reveal, no formal program was held. Veterans and their families were free to mingle, view the banners that were laid out on tables, take pictures and chat with each other. “One of the greatest things about this project and the way we’ve done it is the vets just start talking,” Brewer said. “Some of them know each other, some don’t. But we’ve heard them tell stories, and then a family member will say, ‘I never knew that.’” Fo r N e f f a n d o t h e r children of veterans, the banners have provided an opportunity to thank veterans for their sacrifices. “I think it’s great that the Lions Club has done this,” Neff said. “I love driving down the road and seeing e ve r yo ne w h o s e r ve d , because that’s what makes our country great.”

We contacted everybody on the list for that batch of banners and said, ‘We need you to approve your banner now, so we can get her banner here in time.’ Her banner showed up about a week before Christmas. We just made it. She had no idea, and her whole family met her here. It’s a great example of how everyone came together to make this happen.” This batch of banners will be installed over the next two months or so, weather permitting, and for now, the banner project is complete. Brewer said the Lions Club members were overwhelmed by the positive response to the project. “I got calls from North Carolina, Maryland, Georgia about this, saying, ‘I’m from E-town’ or ‘We lived in E-town when I was growing up,’” he recalled. “We were optimistic that we’d sell 150 banners, but it just took off.” In total, the Lions sold 350 banners. He and other Lions also made sure everyone who needed help getting a banner received assistance.

He passed away two years ago.” Brewer noted that the banner project required a lot of teamwork to pull off. The members of the Lions Club relied on help from other ser vice organizations, including the Rotary Club of Elizabethtown. Rotar y member Glen Bootay installed all of the banners, with help from his son Bailey and Rotary member Matt Schwartz.

In the summer, we offer a full-day program for grade school children with fun in the sun, including water play, scooter/ bike days and off-site field trips to museums, bowling alleys, area parks, etc.” Most of all, she emphasized, ECCC teachers strive

The City of Lancaster Office of Public Art is seeking artists to showcase their artworks in two glass-enclosed display cases at the Lancaster Amtrak Train Station. Artists are asked to create site-specific art inspired by or cohesive with the “A Place for Every Piece: Lancaster’s Living Quilt” design. The Lancaster Amtrak Station, the second-busiest Amtrak station in Pennsylvania, features the display cases as part of its annual art exhibitions. This year, the Art at Amtrak program will also highlight designs by Libby Modern and Jill Good, who are creating window designs for the station’s main terminal. Artists are encouraged to submit proposals for instal-

lations in the glass cases that either draw inspiration from or align with Modern’s and Good’s work. Proposals should include drawings, sketches, or renderings, along with a written description. While new, site-specific works are preferred, artists may adapt previous artworks to fit the aforementioned theme. This call is open to all professional artists and artist teams age 18 and older. Each selected artist or team will receive a cash honorarium to cover project expenses, including materials, fabrication, and installation. Submissions are due by Monday, Jan. 20. For more details, visit w w w.cit yoflanc aster pa.gov/office-of-public-art.

Motorists driving on Route 81 may have seen a Rotary billboard informing travelers that they are entering Rotary District 7390, which this year was designated by Rotary International as a Peacebuilder District. There are 39 Rotar y clubs in this district and 46,000 clubs around the world. The clubs of District 7390 - from Carlisle to Paradise and from Millersville to the Mason-Dixon Line - are teaming up with the internationally focused Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) to address root causes of conflict and division. The Rotary Clubs will tap into the global resources of Rotary International and IEP to educate

members and the public on how to spread the values of positive peace. Clubs will sponsor workshops and erect peace poles in their communities. Positive peace is defined as local and global peace built on investments in economic development as well as social attitudes that foster peace. These partnerships demonstrate commitment to building environments that are conducive to sustainable peace both locally and globally. To lear n more about local Rotary-driven positive peace initiatives and workshops, contact the Rotary District 7390 office at 717-854-7842 or visit www.rotary7390.org.
