Eye-opening experience
Lions Club plans seventh Dinner in the Dark
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Anita Fieldsa wants Pequea Valley-area businesses and residents to know more about the annual Paradise Lions Club Dinner in the Dark. She recalls the first time the Bank of Bird-in-Hand, where she works, reserved a table at the event. “The first year we had four people, and it was so much fun,” she noted. Last year, more bank employees attended. “The staff (members who attended) said it brought them together on a whole different level,” noted Fieldsa. “It’s a good team-building activity.”
The Paradise Lions Club’s seventh Dinner in the Dark will give attendees a unique opportunity to eat a meal with limited or no vision. This year’s dinner will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 6 p.m. at White Chimneys, 5117 Lincoln Highway, Gap. In addition to the meal, there will be presentations by VisionCorps, which will benefit from the dinner. A silent auction, which will feature up to 35 items, will be held during the reception.
During the dinner, attendees
will learn about the work of VisionCorps, and part of that presentation will be education about vision loss and how different vision impairment issues impact
people in their daily lives. At each table, diners will have the opportunity to experience eating with vision limitations by choosing from items they can

Lancaster Friends of Meserete Kristos Seminary (Ethiopia) will hold its annual fundraising banquet on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 6 p.m. at Stumptown Mennonite Church, 2813 Stumptown Road, Bird-in-Hand.
The banquet will include the option of authentic Ethiopian food - injera and wat - or American fare. Admission is free, although an offering will be received to benefit MKSeminary located in Bishoftu, Ethiopia.
The featured speaker will be Bekele Bedada, who graduated from the seminary in 2003. He lives in Ethiopia and is executive vice president for Africa with Global Disciples. The title of his
address is “My Story: The Impact of MKSeminary in Advancing the Kingdom of God.”
MKSeminary is owned by the Meserete Kristos (Founded on Christ) Church, an Anabaptist-related church that has close to 1 million members. With rapid growth in recent decades, the church has an immediate need for training new leaders, pastors, counselors, peacemakers, and evangelists. The mission of the seminary is “to equip men and women for the holistic transformation of the church and society.”
The proceeds from the banquet will go directly toward scholarships for student church leaders at
MKSeminary, which draws pupils from all over Ethiopia. To learn more and to register for the banquet, contact Phoebe Nafziger at pnafziger@gmail.com.

use to change their dining experience. Items that will be available to utilize will include blindfolds, modified safety glasses, and other implements that can simulate impairments such as macular degeneration. VisionCorps will provide the basics for staging a dinner by instructing diners to envision the plate as a clock, putting meat at 12 o’clock, a vegetable at 3, and potatoes at 6. Fieldsa noted that diners may choose which implements to try and how long to try them. “It’s their choice whether to participate, or they can participate only for a minute,” she said. “(Participation) is not required.”
On the menu for the
event will be baked chicken, roast beef and gravy, red skin potatoes, baby carrots, string beans, rolls and butter, and a tossed salad. Dessert will feature pumpkin and apple pies and chocolate cake. Beverages, which will be lemonade, coffee, beer, and wine. Yoder’s Catering of Gordonville will handle food service for the event. “They’re wonderful,” said Fieldsa.
Past silent auction items have included signed sports memorabilia, trips to theme parks, overnight stays, and home goods. Traditionally, themed baskets have included a chocolate basket, a fall decor basket, and a carpet cleaning kit. According to Fieldsa, organizers try to gather items that will appeal to a variety of tastes. “Last year, we had Longwood Gardens tickets and Coach and Michael Kors handbags,” she said.
More than 76 area residents attended the 2023 dinner, which raised nearly $4,000 for VisionCorps. “My goal is to get more businesses to bring more people,” said Fieldsa, who detailed the benefits of attending as including raising awareness of vision impairment issues, team building, and raising money for VisionCorps. “It has so many benefits,” she stated. Both individual tickets and sponsorships with recognition are available. Those wishing to attend may purchase them by calling 717-278-5482 or 717-826-2935 or emailing heather.valudes@gmail.com or afieldsa@bihbank.com.

place at Salisbury Township Park in Gap. This year, the event will be held at a new venue, and, instead of flag football, an amateur cornhole tournament will be featured.
The 10th annual Walk for Life, titled Walk. Play. Celebrate Life., will take place on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at New Holland Church of the Nazarene, 428 Ranck Road, New Holland.
“Since it is the 10th annual, we decided to switch things up,” explained Olivia Imchen, Cornerstone’s director of client services and advancement, noting that New Holland is approximately a 15-minute drive from the Gap park. “New Holland is a central location, so we’re hoping that brings in more of the community.”
“(The 5K) will be on the walking trail behind the church,” she added. “The trail is about a mile long, so (walkers) will do three loops for it to be a 5K.”
The walk is open to people of all ages, and prizes will be awarded to the individual walker and team of walkers who collect the most funds
from sponsorships.
“Children will get a passport (representing) nine months (of gestation),” said Imchen. “There will be stations along the walk for 14 weeks, 28 weeks, etc., and once they get the passport full for all nine months, they will get a prize.”
She added that cornhole was chosen as a new component because it is a fun and popular activity.
“People can sign up in pairs (for cornhole),” she said, noting that participants can register in advance for the walk and for cornhole.
“Prizes will be awarded for the first-, second- and third-place winners of the tournament.
Offered during the day will be free food, including hot dogs, popcorn, chips and cookies. “When people register, they will get a pack of tickets, and they can (redeem) them for free food,” Imchen noted.
A free Kids Zone will also be available. Featured will be face painting, a balloon artist, an inflatable obstacle course and an appearance by Dr. Bubbles, who creates giant bubbles.
Cornerstone serves as a resource for women experiencing unexpected pregnancies. It offers free pregnancy testing, ultrasound and prenatal and parenting incentive programs, along with other services.
The agency recently opened a mobile medical unit. Currently, it is stationed at Solid Rock Youth Ministries in Quarryville on Mondays from 1 to 5 p.m. “The (mobile unit) will be parked at the event this year,” Imchen noted. To register for the walk or cornhole tournament, visit www.pacornerstone. org and choose “About” and then “Events.” Same-day registrations will also be accepted.
More information about Cornerstone, which is located at 5380 Lincoln Highway, Gap, is available by visiting www.facebook .com/cornerstonerepro ductivehealth or calling 717-442-8694.
In the event of rain, the day’s activities will be limited. Cancellation information will be announced on the morning of Sept. 28 on the Facebook page.
Lancaster County veterinarian releases book
Lancaster County veterinarian Bob Stoltzfus is the author of a new book, “Where the Grass Grows Greener - Inspirational Stories from a Lancaster County Veterinarian.” The book features 23 stories about Stoltzfus’ personal life and his life as a veterinarian. Stoltzfus, who spent 42 years as a full-time bovine veterinarian, grew up on a 142-acre dairy farm in
Oley. After graduating from Christopher Dock High School in Lansdale, he enrolled in Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) in Harrisonburg, Va., where he was in the pre-med program, graduating with a degree in biology. He went on to receive his veterinary degree at the University of Pennsylvania. EMU is also where he met his wife, Joyce, whom he married in
September 25th-28th
1973. Bob and Joyce have three children and seven grandchildren. In 1980, Stoltzfus partnered with Drs. Chris Barton and Bob Munson to form Lancaster Veterinary Associates. In 2002, Dr. Bridget Griffin joined the group. The practice is almost exclusively bovine with the workload now split between five veterinarians. In 2022, Stoltzfus backed off from the physical demands of daily farm visits to focus on providing nutritional consulting services to nearby dairy farms, which range in size from 60 cows to 2,500 animals. The switch from full-time veterinarian to part-time consultant created a schedule with fewer daytime obligations, allowing him time write the book.
Stoltzfus noted that while “Where the Grass Grows Greener” is written for a general audience, he thinks farmers will appreciate seeing the veterinary

feature the Esprit Quilts collected by Doug Tompkins, founder of North Face Inc. The collection, now housed at LancasterHistory, is comprised of 82 quilts made by Lancaster County Amish women between 1890 and 1950.
Mast noted the quilts were made for display and “not to be cuddled in.” Mast’s 1 p.m. presentation will focus on Susie Riehl, a local Amish watercolorist known for her paintings of quilts.
To coincide with Mast’s presentations, GSV resident Shirley Wenger, a photographer who worked with Riehl to create and sell her paintings, will bring her private quilt collection to be displayed. “Susie had ideas for paintings of quilts, but she didn’t have a camera,” recalled Wenger. “So I took pictures, and she painted from them.” Wenger opened the Double Heart Gallery, which sold Riehl’s works of art, and they became good friends. In addition, the Share and Care Shop, a thrift store located on the lower level of GSV, will sell Riehl prints and notecards. Specially selected gently used quilts will be on sale in the shop, and framed pieces of Riehl’s artwork will be on display.
The Linden Shop and Artisans Corner, both located adjacent to the GSV main entrance will be open for shopping during the event.
Mittelstadt said the quilting club used to hold a July quilt airing but the hot weather led the group to switch to an autumn event. Both newly quilted and gently used items will be sold in the Village Park. “Two-thirds of our quilts are hand-quilted,” pointed out Mittelstadt. Funds raised by the sale of quilts in the Village Park that day will be donated to the GSV Benevolent Care Fund, which benefits residents who have exhausted their finances.

Conestoga Wood marks 60th anniversary
Conestoga Wood Specialties, a manufacturer of custom cabinet doors and components for the kitchen and bath industry, recently commemorated six decades of innovation, craftsmanship and dedication to quality. From a small garage offering five door styles to a multi-location corporation with more than a thousand door designs, Conestoga Wood has come a long way from its modest beginnings.
Experienced cabinet makers Norman and Sam Hahn from East Earl founded Conestoga Wood in 1964, discovering their niche in creating cabinet doors not typically produced in small cabinet shops at the time. As the product line has expanded over the last 60 years, so have the manufacturing locations, which now include Beaver Springs, Beavertown and Kenly, N.C.
Conestoga Wood remains a family-owned company, with the current
headquarters located just steps away from the original workshop. The work ethic and conservative values of the Hahn brothers continue to be the cornerstone of Conestoga’s present-day values: integrity, respect, accountability, resourcefulness and innovation.
