The Cottage Ministry Will Hold Online Auction

BY GEORGE DEIBEL

The Cottage Ministry will try a new fundraiser.

The nonprofit group’s inaugural online auction will run from Monday, Sept. 15, through Friday, Sept. 26. The auction will be conducted on the BiddingOwl platform, which will include photos and descriptions of the items. Go to www.millersvillecottage.com for more information.

The Cottage Ministry, co-founded by Diane Duell and Judy Schroeder, helps local families with housing insecurities.

The auction items include a Michael Kors purse; a 3-day, 2-night vacation in a Port Deposit, Md., condo; tickets to Go ‘N Bananas Family Fun Center and Sight & Sound; an ice cream adventure at six county creameries; plants; and a bird feeder that was handmade by Wayne Schroeder and decorated by his wife, Judy.

The Southern Lancaster County Community Choirs (SLCCC) are seeking singers of all talent levels and age groups as preparations get underway for a Christmas concert.

The SLCCC will hold a show Sunday, Dec. 7, at 3 p.m. in the Swift Middle School auditorium, 1866 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville. Ticket information

will be announced closer to the day of the event.

For now, the group is focusing on recruitment, and everyone is invited to participate. “Most years we have auditions for the choir, and we allow people to try out and then secure a spot in the choir by their interest and their musical talent,” SLCCC president Jozlyn Grodski said. “This year we are taking a little bit of a different approach

A lot has changed over the past 43 years, but the Conestoga Herb Guild is still going strong.

The organization will host its annual Herb Fest event on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Millersville VFW, 219 Walnut Hill Road, Millersville.

Admission is free.

Visitors will enjoy displays of herbs, herb products, and short educational presentations on the culinary and health benefits of herbs. There will also be refreshments and baked goods on sale that were made by members and complimentary coffee and tea.

Additional displays will include fresh herbs, succulents, wreaths, bath products, dried herbs, herbal aromatherapy products, fresh and dried bouquets, potted plants and potted herbs, and herbal vinegar.

Guild members will also educate visitors on the herb of the year, chamomile.

Two of the educational programs that will be presented during Herb Fest will by “A Day in the Life of a Bee” by Denny Gorman and “Thirst Tea for Knowledge: Distinguishing Different Types of Tea” by Heidi Bernard.

The event is a fundraiser for the Conestoga Herb Guild. For more information, go to www .conestogaherbguild.org.

Guild members Karen KellerEyer and Nancy Landis will be at Herb Fest. Keller-Eyer and Landis are the only charter members still in the group, which was initially an offshoot of a guild on the other side of Lancaster. Keller-Eyer attended the group’s first meeting in October 1982

in allowing anybody who has a passion for music to be a part of the community choir. We have two different levels of involvement where you can be a part of the crescendo choir, which is our adult choir, ninth grade through adult, or you can be a part of the community choir, which is open to anybody. We’re also doing a children’s choir, which is going to be fourth- through eighth-graders.”

Go to www.slccchoirs.com for more information. “We have two different forms on there,” said Grodski. “One is for the community choir, which includes not only the children’s choir and the adult choir, but also an opportunity for instrumentalists in the area if they would like to be a part of the orchestra.”

The choirs will rehearse at Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church on Tuesday nights, with the concert and dress rehearsal at Swift. “We’re trying to keep it manageable for folks,” Hess said. “Everyone’s lives are busy, and there’s so many opportunities. They would be committing to essentially five rehearsals and a concert, and we’re hoping that will allow more people to feel like they have the flexibility to participate.”

think that has been such a tremendous success. We do not, in any way, want to compete with that, but what we tried to do was pick the day after that, to sort of keep it all in one weekend, keep the community thinking about the holidays and the spirit of community here in Quarryville.”

a while and played with us this spring, and he was amazing,” said Grodski. “You get to keep learning and keep growing. I love that music provides us that opportunity, that you’re never done. There’s always something that you can be trying or doing or improving on.”

SLCCC director Becky Hess said, “Our core choir, Crescendo, has met yearly for 17 years now, and that is the audition group. They’re sort of going to be the core part of this concert, but then we’re going to have the community members that join us to make what we hope will be a mass choir of community members, as well as a children’s choir and an orchestra. This will be a one-time performance.”

The SLCCC is opening membership up to everyone as a way to keep things fresh. “Every year, you look for something new to do, to keep it interesting, because many of our choir members have been in the choir for year after year after year, which is a beautiful thing,” said Hess. “But I want to keep it interesting for them. So that’s one reason. The other reason is because I think ever since COVID and the world kind of shutting down, we all sort of value that experience of being with others more than maybe we used to, especially in this community. Our hope was to have another opportunity that first weekend in December - Christmas in Quarryville is on (Dec.) 6 - and I

Grodski said SLCCC is an ideal opportunity to stay involved with music. “When you’re in school, you have music at your fingertips, you have music class that you’re a part of, you can be a part of band, you can be a part of orchestra, you can be a part of the choir in school,” she said. “After you graduate, there’s not as many opportunities for just a person who enjoys music to find those outlets. If you want to be a professional, Lancaster has great professional opportunities. I am a mom and I have a full-time job, but music is something that I love, and I want it a way to be able to keep that a part of my life while being able to do other parts of my life. And this community choir has allowed me to do both of those things.”

Musicians are also welcome. “We just had a gentleman who dusted off his clarinet for the first time in

The SLCCC has members from across the county, including Willow Street, Oxford, Conestoga, and Washington Boro. “If they’re willing to drive, come, we don’t care where they’re from,” Hess said. “There is a huge homeschool base in this area, and I’m hoping we can connect with some of those children and families as well and say, ‘Come and join us.’ This isn’t just a Solanco School District thing or an L-S thing. Anyone is welcome.” Hess stated, “The theme of this concert is joy. I hope that that’s what this experience will bring for people who are participants. There is such joy in music and in singing and making music with others. And we live in a community that is very tight knit, and so it just seems like a natural collaboration between this community and music and bringing everyone together in the spirit of joy at the holiday season.”

after her in-laws saw a notice in a newspaper.

In the early days, the Conestoga Herb Guild had fewer than 15 members and met at each other’s homes. “I joined when I was engaged to be married, and I wanted to do herbal

things for my weddings,” Keller-Eyer said. “I joined with a friend Barbara that I worked with, and she and I did herbal things for my wedding. The guild has a lot of different people with a lot of different interests. I always sort of gravitated to wreath-making, and tussie mussies was my thing. Some people are more interested in the culinary herbs or the medicinal herbs, and everybody sort of took their interests, and we shared that knowledge.”

Landis became aware of the guild through word of mouth. “I had heard about the guild through a friend of mine, and I went to the one of the original meetings,” she said. “I was always interested in herbs, so I was very happy to find a group of people who I could discuss that with.”

Landis has been going to guild meetings for 43 years. “I’ve enjoyed the programs and drying herbs,” she said. “I enjoy making the sweet Annie wreaths. It’s very fragrant. I’ve enjoyed learning about all kinds of herbs.”

Landis has seen many changes. “In the ‘80s, herbs were a kind of a new thing in Lancaster County,” she noted. “I had a friend who knew a lot about herbs, and I got interested. And now, of course, herbs are much more well known, but it’s nice when new people can come and just get excited about all the medicinal and culinary uses and other things you can do with herbs.”

During that time, the Conestoga

Herb Guild has grown to 70 members. “It’s different because we meet at a public place, and there’s many more members, which means also we have more resources, people who are interested and involved in different ways,” said Landis, who lives in East Lampeter Township. “There are pros and cons to having a small group or a large group, but I enjoy it now the way it is. It’s always nice to meet new people and hear their perspectives, and the members are quite involved with newsletters and different outreach programs, which is nice.”

The online auction is expected to be The Cottage Ministry’s biggest fundraiser of the year. “In previous years, we had a craft and vendor show,” said Duell. “There were two co-chairs that ran that beautifully and it always did very well, and the community really came out and loved it. That was run for two or three years, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we couldn’t do it this year. We had to pivot, and we had brainstorming sessions at the council, and this was the one that won. We said, ‘Let’s try an online auction.’ I said, ‘Lancaster Downtowners has done it, and I thought it worked really well as a user and a bidder. It was easy to use, and you get exciting pictures (online) with descriptions, so people know what they’re bidding on.”

Duell and Schroeder formed

The Cottage Ministry after realizing they had similar aspirations.

“In January of 2017, Judy and I felt a calling from God during a sermon by assistant pastor Bruce Heydt at (Millersville Community Church),” Duell said. “He was doing a sermon on a business concept called BHAG, which is ‘big, hairy, audacious goals.’ He was saying if you just feel you want to do something that’s a BHAG, it’s probably a calling from God. I had been thinking about it would be really great to win Powerball, get lots of money, and do something for the homeless, but that wasn’t working. At the end of that church service, there was a call if anybody wanted to pray to come up to the altar, and I went up to pray about it to see if that really was a BHAG from God.”

Schroeder, a lay pastor, joined Duell at the rail, and Duell

from pg 1

explained that she felt God calling her to help the homeless. “She interrupted me saying she felt the same way,” Duell recalled.

Millersville Community Church provided a helping hand. “Trying to establish a nonprofit can be very expensive, but our church has established other nonprofits in the past and incorporated underneath their 501(c)(3) first, before the groups go off on their own,” Duell said. Duell and

Comets Outlast Buckskins on the Road

Schroeder presented their plan to the church council, and The Cottage Ministry became part of the church’s ministry.

The Cottage Ministry established a board of directors in 2019.

“Initially, our thought was that single women with children would be the biggest need, and that’s what our mission was,” said Duell.

“We quickly learned through discussions with the community itself and also with the (Loft Community Partnership) and talking to some of

their clients, that’s not necessarily the case.”

The Cottage Ministry assists families in the Penn Manor School District. “We help anyone who has a housing need,” said Duell. “If they can’t make rent that month, we will help with that. Housing in Millersville is very expensive because of supply and demand with the Millerville University students. So our focus lately really has been on keeping people in the homes that they

have now. If they call and they say, ‘I’ve lived here five years, I’m in the school district, and I love it,’ but something comes up, we step in, and we help in ways that that they need.” The Cottage Ministry also provides mentoring and offers help with budgeting.

The group gets referrals from case workers in the school district and from other nonprofits such as Loft Community Partnership. Anyone in need of assistance can go to the website.

Program To Focus on History of Photography

The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will host a presentation titled “Photography of the Civil War” when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13, in the Millersville Borough Administration & Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and lock at 9:15 a.m.

The speaker will be Steven M. Whitcomb, a retired CPA who has more than 40 years experience in photography, including work with the University of Pennsylvania.

Whitcomb will explore the history

of photography from 1825 up to the Civil War, with a focus on its evolving processes and key individuals who spearheaded them, as well as its impact on national events such as the Cooper Union portrait of Abraham Lincoln and Matthew Brady at the Battle of Antietam. He will also discuss the ways that people viewed photos, including stereographs, and display his collection of cameras and equipment from the 1920s to the 1940s. A question-and-answer period will close the meeting.

Whitcomb, a Mount Joy resident and Mechanicsburg native, served as a CFO, controller, and vice president of finance with specializations in mergers and acquisitions, international business, business systems implementation, turnarounds, and restructuring. He graduated from East Pennsboro High School and earned a Bachelor of Arts at Cornell University and Master of Business Administration at the University of Pennsylvania.

Herb Fest

The guild donates a book to the county library system when a member passes away and sends sympathy cards or a rosemary plant when someone in a member’s family passes.

Keller-Eyer and Landis stated that Herb Fest will be worth the trip.

“It’s about sharing time with the community, trying to increase our membership, and have people know about our existence,” said Keller-Eyer. “I’d encourage people to come if they have any interest in herbs, because our president, Susan Atkins, she’s very interested in medicinal herbs,” said Keller-Eyer, who lives in Penn Township. “She makes a lot of salves and that type of thing.”

Landis added, “If you come to the Herb Fest, I think you’ll see the wide range of uses for herbs and like the different people and their interest in herbs. There will be demonstrations and talks, which is very informative, and if you have an interest, I think it would be a good place to start.”
