Strasburg Senior Citizens Celebrates 60th Anniversary BY LOGAN MOYER
For six decades, the Strasburg Senior Citizens has been an organization unlike most others. The group is not the average Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions Club, although it shares many of the same charitable causes. The group, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in May, is a special place for those age 50 and older to fraternize, enjoy activities

Supporting Empowering Lives Foundation (SELF) is holding a bingo fundraiser at the Millersville VFW Post 7294 on Sunday, June 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The post, located at 219 Walnut Hill Road, Millersville, will host the newly formed nonprofit’s first fundraising event. SELF, formed last summer as the offshoot of another, now-defunct disabilities group, aims to help anyone with a disability live an independent life. According to the group’s website, its mission is “to serve clients with disabilities by identifying and addressing the gaps in support, resources and advocacy - picking the pieces so no one falls through the gaps.” The event will consist of 10 normal bingo games, with the winner getting to pick a gift card prize. There will then be special games of bingo and a Chinese auction for some of the larger prizes, as well as a 50-50 drawing. The prizes, all of which have been donated by local businesses and community members, include tickets to Hershey Gardens, the Reading Royals, Reading Fightin Phils, Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Sight & Sound and more. There will also be a food truck at the event, and desserts will be for sale. “We are very excited,” said Jacki Nagle, the group’s chief See SELF pg 4
