New knitting, crocheting group offered at Boone Library

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Peoplewho love to knit and crochet are invited to attend a new group at the Boone Area Library in Birdsboro.

The group meets on Mondays at 10 a.m. and on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. every week in the library’s bookstore room. There is no fee to participate, and registration is not required.

The leader of the group is Fatima Hall, a resident of Birdsboro, who explained how the group came together. “There is a Facebook group that started called Ladies of Birdsboro,” she said. “It was a way for the women in the town to meet each other and people with similar interests to get together and do things. They started a book club and a wine (tasting group), and

because I knit and crochet, I thought I would start a group.”

After receiving permission to meet at the Boone Library, the group held its first meeting on Feb. 13. The evening group was added to accommodate those who work during the day, although people can attend both gatherings if they choose.

Those who attend the group are asked to bring their own projects.

Hall is currently working on creating a blanket. “I am going to knit together a bunch of squares and them join them together to make a blanket.” she said. “I’m trying to use up some fine yarn.”

Hall emphasized that attendees of all ages and skill levels are welcome.

“We had two teenagers who came last week,” Hall pointed out. “On Tuesday night we had a mother, her

daughter and (the grandmother), so we had three generations.”

In addition to working on sewing projects, group members engage in friendly conversation. “That is part of it: meeting people from the town,” said Hall. “I will be here 12 years in April, and I know only a handful of people. Since COVID it’s hard to meet people. People are still not gathering the way they used to.”

In time, Hall hopes the group will grow its membership, and eventually a name will be chosen by group members. “Right now, it’s just a knitting and crocheting group,” she said.

Boone Area Library is located at 129 N. Mill St., Birdsboro. For more information about the knitting and crocheting group or other library activities, call 610-582-5666 or visit www.facebook.com/boonearealibrary.

Eleanor Isaacson’s life experiences have ranged from being abandoned as a toddler by her immediate family and surviving Nazi Germany in World War II to becoming a ballroom dancer, Christian author and motivational speaker.

A fascinating life Seeking volunteer tutors

BY FRANCINE FULTON

Making a positive impact in someone else’s life, learning about other cultures and being inspired are just some of the benefits of becoming a volunteer tutor, according to the Volunteer English Program (VEP) of Chester County, which provides oneto-one English language classes to adult learners.

Prospective tutors are invited to attend the next tutor training session, which will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, March 21; Thursday, March 23; and Monday, March 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. each evening. Since the class is virtual, attendees may dress comfortably and feel free

presented by Twin Valley Bible Academy on Thursday, March 9, at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary of Twin Valley Bible Chapel. The event is the first in a series being presented by the school as part of a program titled “America! America, Where Do We Go From Here?”

The evening will begin with a musical prelude by Twin Valley Bible Academy students, followed by a short program about the school, which is open to students in kindergarten through grade 12.

“I will welcome everyone, and we will have a video about the school and then introduce Eleanor,” said Academy principal Nate Mellinger, who noted that Isaacson is a family friend of his parents, Steve and Jennifer Mellinger, who are in charge of marketing and development for the school, respectively.

Jennifer explained that when Isaacson was a toddler, she and her family resided in the United States, but they returned to Germany to visit relatives there. “Her parents went back to Germany to visit family, and they left her there at the age of 2 with

to enjoy their own snacks at home.

“The advantage is that people are training in the comfort of their home, and they don’t have to drive to the location,” said VEP executive director Terri Potrako. “When the session closes at 8 (p.m.), they are already home and weather is not a factor. (Virtual tutor training) has been working nicely.”

According to Potrako, the tutor training workshop is designed to fully prepare volunteers to teach English to adult, non-native speakers. Volunteer tutors also help students with understanding American culture. Prior teaching experience or fluency in a language other than English is not required.

ALC to present mystery play

The Aleithia Learning Community (ALC) will present “Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars” at the Forks of the Brandywine Church, 1648 Horseshoe Pike, Glenmoore, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, March 9, 10, and 11. The show is directed by Liam Seace, a senior at ALC.

ALC will offer a dessert theater on March 9 and 10 at 7 p.m.; homemade desserts will be served while attendees watch the performance. Shows on March 11 will

take place at 2 and 7:30 p.m.

The play focuses on the Baker Street Irregulars, a gang of street kids hired by Holmes himself to help solve cases. When Sherlock Holmes goes missing, the Baker Street Irregulars investigate. For the March 9 or 10 show, tickets may be purchased online only at https://alc.yapsody.com/. Tickets for the March 11 performances can be purchased at the aforementioned website or at the door. Tickets for students will be discounted.

The Zoom sessions will be conducted by VEP’s professional staff.

“It is a live training,” Potrako pointed out. “We have three professionals certified in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and ESL (English as a Second Language).”

Potrako emphasized that the sessions are interactive so that attendees can communicate with the instructors. “We do a formal presentation within the six hours, and we also use breakout rooms of small,

clustered groups, so people are getting to know one other, which is a lovely and dynamic aspect,” she said, noting that an intermission is included in each session. “It’s not two hours of lecturing. It’s better described as facilitated learning or guided presentations. Each topic takes about 10 minutes (to cover), which keeps it fresh and interesting.”

One topic covered in the session is tailoring instruction to the individual student. “Some of the things we teach our tutors is to recognize

Jay’s Handyman Service

that there are a variety of ways to learn English. There is no one set curriculum because the goals and students’ own experiences drive where we begin,” said Potrako. “In a one-to-one situation, it’s very adaptable or flexible.”

After training and a background check, each new volunteer is matched with a student. Tutors and students, who may meet in-person or virtually, are asked to make a yearlong commitment to the program. Potrako reported that right now, there is a waiting

list of students in need of tutors.

A fee will be charged to participate in the upcoming virtual training. Attendees will be asked to pick up a hard-copy tutor training manual at the VEP office in West Chester prior to the session. Information about pickup dates will be provided after registration.

For more information about the program or to register, visit www.volunteerenglish.org or call the VEP office at 610-918-8222.

Bomberger to speak at fundraising dinner

Mercy Ministries will hold its annual fundraising dinner on Friday, March 17, at DoubleTree by Hilton, 701 Penn St., Reading. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and the program will begin at 6 p.m.

The keynote speaker will be Ryan Bomberger. He is an international public speaker, a columnist, and the author of “Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong.” He is the co-founder of the Radiance Foundation, a life-affirming

organization that illuminates the purpose of every human life. He is one of 10 children adopted into a diverse family of 15 and is an adoptive father himself. He aims to address culture-shifting issues from a fact-based, hope-filled, biblically sound perspective.

To register by the deadline of Monday, March 6, visit www.mercy pregnancycenter.org/events or call 610-376-0828.

her grandparents,” Jennifer said. “Soon after, the war broke out and her grandparents were not able to care for her, so they gave her to an aunt (and her husband). (Isaacson) would cross over enemy lines at night to get food. She has quite a story.”

Isaacson credits her survival to an “Individual Presence,” which is the title of one of her books. “She didn’t know who God was. She had never been taught, but she had this sense that there was someone bigger than herself watching out for her,” Jennifer said.

“Her stories are both humorous and serious, (and) she will also

have a Q and A,” Steve said, adding that Isaacson will have visual displays on March 9 featuring photos and memorabilia from Germany.

In addition to offering an interesting presentation to the community, the goal of the evening is to make the community more aware of Twin Valley Bible Academy and what it offers for students. “What we are trying to do is let the community know about what we are doing here. We are different than a traditional school,” said Nate.

The school implements The Principle Approach, which is a Christian method of teaching every school

subject. “The thing that sets us apart is that our subjects are taught from the principle of God’s words,” Nate explained. “We have a specific Bible class, but the Word of God is brought into every class. In math class, for example, we (share) the biblical basis of math and we highlight some Christian mathematicians. Everything has a biblically reasoning basis.”

Twin Valley Bible Chapel is located at 105 Shirktown Road, Narvon. There is no admission fee and no registration required for the speaker series, but a freewill offering will be received. For more information about the school, visit www.twinvalleybibleacademy.org or call 610-286-6646.
