To volunteer to help with this important ministry, please contact Debbie King at , ext If you encounter someone on the street, and you are concerned about their physical safety as they may be in need of emergency attention, call 911. Volunteers for Meals on Wheels I am contacting you today because the Agency is experiencing a shortage of volunteers in most areas of the County. The meals are delivered by volunteers in each local community throughout the County. Each volunteer gives as much of their time as they can. Some volunteers deliver virtually Monday through Friday while others may only deliver once a month. Whatever amount of time our volunteers can offer, we and our consumers are very grateful. I hope you will consider participating in this important program. If you would like to discuss this request, please contact me at your convenience at or via at rburns@dauphinc.org, Robert Burns, Executive Director of Dauphin County Area Agency on Aging.

If you saw a group of teenagers picking through the aftermath of that kind of crash strewn all over the highway, that's pretty much what This Way Up looks like on stage. This Way Up is actually the Crull family: Eric and Danielle, Jax, Max and Carson, who play a type of music called "Unconventional Percussion". Their "instruments" are colorful lengths of plastic tubes called Boomwhackers and corrugated drainage pipe. Everything is tuned up to specific notes and played like a gigantic demented whacked out pipe organ. Individuals of all ages are invited to experience this concert, which is a mixture of Christian hymns and current popular Christian music in a new and thoroughly refreshing way. The concert takes place on Saturday, March 10, at St. Paul s United Church of Christ, 1473 Urban Road, Herndon. Cake and coffee will be served at 6 p.m. with the concert following at 7 p.m. A free will offering will be taken. For more information, contact Jenny
