Proceeds from the event will benefit the Manheim Central Food Pantry. Wendy and her husband, Tony, are car enthusiasts. “I love classic cars,” she said, noting that the couple owns five classic vehicles. Among their cars are a 1994 Suzuki Cappuccino, a 1970 Plymouth Cuda and a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle. The car show is open to any type of vehicle, and Wendy encourages
people to come out for a day of fun. “They can expect a nice community gathering, where people can get together and enjoy seeing all the cars, listen to music, have a chicken barbecue and just spend the day having fun,” she said. With a motto of “Service to Mankind,” the Manheim Sertoma Club supports needs throughout the community. A major focus is on providing services to people who are hearing-impaired, and the club recently launched its “Shake Me Awake” program to provide devices that will wake people who might not hear a traditional fire alarm. The club is partnering with the Carlisle Area Sertoma Club on the project, and Roger Spitz of the Carlisle club will be on-site at the car show to demonstrate the device. For more information on the car show, contact Wendy Wood at 717-824-2658. For more information on the Manheim Sertoma Club, search for the organization on Facebook.
A community yard sale will raise funds for Manheim Central Middle School students, including these Learners of the Month.
