hen you have a facility as nice as the Manheim Township Public Library (MTPL), you want it to be utilized. But the busier MTPL is, the more resources are required to operate it. “We are the busiest library in the county,” said Rennae Newman, fundraiser for MTPL. “With as many patrons as we have, we need funding to support that value. That’s why fundraising is so important. “We have many, many, many people from outside Manheim Township who use the library,” continued Newman. “It’s very impor tant to g ive people an opportunity to support the library. Having fundraisers here at the library is a reminder to people that you’re getting all this stuff for free but someone has to pay for it.” One of the ways MTPL funds programs, activities and resources is through its upcoming annual

On the surface, there is no obvious connection between medicine and music. That is, until you realize that music goes with anything, or everything. Auscultation Brass is a collection of healing artists and a group of musical physicians. “I think there’s a part in our brains that, when music hits our ears, it becomes very soothing,” See Dr. Musicians pg 4

Runners are self-motivated athletes. When they run and enter into their competitive zones, runners report feelings of exhilaration and jubilation. They are feelings that can only be expanded by running for others, feelings that will be felt during the Clinic for Special Children’s upcoming 5K. “It’s people intent on running,” said Renny Magill, the director of development for the Clinic for Special Children. “But there’s also almost a sense of a family reunion. Some are people running in support of a family member. They’re people who are interested in supporting the mission.” “Obviously, we have some serious runners,” said Kelly Cullen, the marketing and communications manager for the Clinic for Special Children. “But when I think of the atmosphere of the event, I think of family. We’re a very family-friendly event. It may be families we serve. We’re welcoming a variety of physical abilities, and people really rally around our families.” The Clinic for Special Children’s 8th annual 5K run is a community event, a fundraiser, and an outreach activity for the local nonprofit. This year’s 5K run will be staged at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, at the Leola Produce Auction, 135 Brethren Church Road, Leola. Runners can register for the 5K at www.clinicforspecial children.org prior to the race or See 5K pg 3
