Cub Scouts to hold annual fundraiser
C
ub Scout Pack 37 will host its annual community fundraiser from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, May 27, at the Hempfield Fire Department, 19 W. Main St., Landisville. The event, an outdoor market, will include a multitude of stands run by parent volunteers and members of the community, who will sell various goods and refreshments. The proceeds will assist Pack 37 with covering its general expenses and costs of Scouting activities throughout the year. Members of Pack 37 and parent volunteers will prepare sections of the fire department’s property for vendors to set up tables and tents when they arrive. Each space in the field may be rented for a set price by individuals and business owners in the community with items to sell. The event will coincide with various flea markets held throughout Landisville on Memorial Day. Once the helpers have finished
setting up the area for vendors, they will run a concession stand to sell a variety of snacks and refreshments, including breakfast sandwiches, bagels, doughnuts, hot dogs, hamburgers, pierogies, chicken potpie, pulled pork sandwiches and beverages. Young Scouts will also take orders from residents in the surrounding neighborhoods and deliver food to raise funds for Pack 37. Members of Scouts BSA Troop 267 will assist with the fundraiser by offering attendees parking by donation. In addition to many steadfast patrons throughout L andisville, the Pack 37 fundraiser is supported by several local businesses. Every year, Wegmans, Stauffers of Kissel Hill, Martin’s Snacks and other nearby companies make financial donations or supply Pack 37 with food to sell at the concession stand. Vendor setup will take place at 5 a.m. on the day of the fundraiser. Pack 37 asks that vendors refrain from selling food items to avoid diverting

New isn’t necessarily improved; bigger isn’t necessarily better. But when the topic is mental health services, more is almost always desirable. Samaritan Center is expanding its counseling services.
