On Saturday, April 21 Hands Across the Street will hold our Spring Gala to Fight Hunger One Meal at a Time at Vision Columbia . This event will benefit Hands Across the Street's Food Ministry which served close to 14,000 free meals last year.   Meals include lunches for children during the summer when school is out, four community meals per month, and meals in our homeless shelter.

We were overjoyed by last year's success and anticipate that this year's Gala will be even more successful! The evening's events will begin with a gourmet dinner followed by a silent auction.  WGAL TV's Corinne Lillis will be Master of Ceremonies for the evening's program which will feature several guest speakers, including Dave Lloyd, Youth Programs Manager, Central PA Food Bank and Danielle Peters, Director, Columbia Food Bank.

Please see the website link above more more information and how to RSVP by April 13. 

The current owner of  Susquehanna Glass Company, Walter R. Rowen, will tell us about his Company and its history. Susquehanna Glass was founded in 1910, in Columbia, PA, by two partners, Rowen's grandfather, Walter, and his granduncle, Albert. The business has flourished these many years in a historic building on a back-alley in Columbia (The retail outlet is located elsewhere.) Rowen will answer your questions about this well-known company. Note: We invite others in the greater Wayside community, even if you are not "senior," to attend this very interesting presentation.

Our Senior group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 12 noon over a brown bag lunch in Wayside's church Atrium to hear invited speakers on various topics. We will provide the beverages. While we focus on the interest of senior adults, we have no age limit and persons of all ages are welcome at these meetings!  

The Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation is pleased to announce a concert featuring Charlie Zahm on April 20. Charlie is one of the most popular Celtic soloists and musicians east of the Mississippi. He will be joined by harpist Kendrah Tozzo, a member of the Brandywine Harp Orchestra and bagpiper Thompson McConnell, a member of the Ulster Scottish Pipe Band.

 

These three talented musicians will entertain the audience with delightful Scottish and Irish music. This event will benefit the foundation's September 8 Scottish Covenanter Festival. Refreshments will be served at intermission. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $15 for adults and $8 for 12 year olds and younger. Discounted tickets can be found here at Eventbrite. Plan to attend this concert filled with wonderful Celtic music!
