earning expands the mind. L earning fuels the soul. Learning enriches lives. Learning knows no age limits. Landis Homes’ Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning isn’t a high school, but its students are seniors. “One of the keys of healthy aging is engaging the mind with new adventures,” said Beth Graybill, Pathways Institute’s manager at Landis Homes. “It’s a way to stay engaged with our interests. The social aspect is an important part of it. It helps people get outside of their comfort zones and engage with other seniors in topics they care about.” All of Pathways Institute of Lifelong Learning’s classes and courses are taught at Landis Homes Senior

Change is inevitable, but growth is not. In the world of business, growth results from hard work, doing things the right way and paying attention to details. The Northern Lancaster County C h a m b e r o f C o m m e r c e ’s (NLCCC) recent relocation will allow the organization to do more good, to do greater good and to promote additional business growth. “We’re here to serve our members,” said Liz Ackerman, who’s been NLCCC’s executive director for the last six years. “But we exist for anyone who wants to be doing business in northern Lancaster County. We also have a whole lot of members who come from outside of northern Lancaster County. Our members are people. They’re not just numbers to us. Our membership is as diverse as the people of northern Lancaster County, and we’re proud it’s reflected in that way.” On June 26, NLCCC officially opened its new offices at 4139 Oregon Pike, Ephrata.

The new location, which is convenient to routes 222, 722 and 772, also allows for convenient access from Leola, Lititz, New Holland and Denver. NLCCC is open Mond ays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment. “(T he Brossman Business Complex) was a great location, but we outgrew it,” said Ackerman. “We knew eventually
