Give Extra To Three Extraordinary Organizations
LSO Representatives Visit Wickersham Elementary School BY ANN MEAD ASH
Imagine four children ranging in age from kindergarten to third grade so enraptured by an hourlong presentation that they are surprised when it is over. What could grab and hold their attention? Why, music, of course, but not just any music. The four children were in a SWAN (Scaling Walls A Note at a Time) afterschool class at Wickersham Elementary, and the presentation was made by Lancaster Symphony Orchestra (LSO) concertmaster Luigi Mazzocchi and assistant concertmaster Nina Zubadi. The pair performed a Leclair sonata for two violins. Following the performance, the musicians spent time talking to the students and answering questions.

his year’s Extraordinary Give (ExtraGive), hosted by the Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF), is set for Friday, Nov. 19. Beginning at 12:00:01 a.m. on Nov. 19, individuals may make donations via credit card to participating nonprofits serving this region at www.extragive.org. The more than 500 participating organizations will receive a prorated portion of the $500,000 stretch pool, with an additional $50,000 in prizes available. Among the participating nonprofit organizations will be Hempfield Power Packs Project, Raven Ridge
T
Wildlife Center (RRWC), and the East Petersburg Events Committee. For the first time, Geneva Bakery and the Real Life Church of God, both located at 6030 Lemon St., East Petersburg, will host an ExtraGive event to support these three nonprofits. Some people might wonder how these three organizations are connected. Linda Rannels, owner of Geneva Bakery, is a member of the East Petersburg Events Committee; her daughter, Libby Rannels, has volunteered at RRWC for the past five years; and Hempfield Power Packs Project has a pickup location inside Geneva Bakery. This free event will start at Geneva Bakery at noon on Nov. 19.
Tracie Young, founder of RRWC, will bring crafts and coloring books along with a possum, a skunk, a vulture, an owl, a snake, two box turtles, a great horned owl, and a groundhog. Hempfield Power Packs Project will provide free food samples, and the East Petersburg Events Committee will show the movie “Over the Hedge” at 7 p.m. The event will also feature giveaways of gift baskets donated by some restaurants and businesses within East Petersburg. Those who attend are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items for Hempfield Power Packs Project, specifically peanut butter, boxed macaroni and cheese, soup, pasta,

and canned vegetables. Geneva Bakery will be open until 7 p.m., and Linda plans to sell some animalthemed sweets. “It’s going to be fun and educational at the same time,” said Libby. “With Raven Ridge, we just love educating people and seeing people’s faces light up when they see the animals.” “There will be a ton of free stuff to do with your kids,” stated Linda. “All three of the organizations are close to our hearts.” Attendees who are not vaccinated are encouraged to wear a mask.
