Hi Hanover Rotarian, the Board approved the service project providing support for parking cars during the Hanover Little Theater’s 2022 Season.  The season began Sept. 9, 2022 and runs through June 18, 2023.  This project has a very limited time commitment that is spread over 9 months.    

We will provide two volunteers as Parking Attendants for each show.  You can reach me with any questions. Shanna Hollich, 717-778-8373.  The theater will be offering the Hanover Club $400.00 ($100.00 for each show) for supporting the theater with this project.

• LIMITED TIME COMMITMENT:  Thurs., Fri., & Sat performances Parking Attendants would be needed from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Sunday shows parkers would be needed 1-2 p.m.
• Safety vests will be provided.  NOTE: All volunteers must be 18 years of age and older as required by the Theater and their insurance carrier.
• BONUS: Any Rotarian Parking Attendant is welcome to stay to see the show at no charge the night they volunteer.  You may have to sit in a folding chair in the back of the theatre if the Theater sells out the show.

Love, Lies & the Lottery (Jim Hesselman): SHOW DATES: March 10-12, 16-19, 2023

Service Project

Hello Rotarians and those who wish to volunteer, please read this request carefully to see where you might assist in the coming weekend. Helping to prepare for the Shining Stars Fundraiser.   Rotary Members and the public over the age 18 are welcome to serve. Shining Stars provides therapeutic horsemanship programs to children, adults, and families with special needs to improve physical, mental, emotional, and social areas of their lives.   

A few months ago, Pam Collins pcollins0114@gmail.com (717-624-4047) presented to our Club the incredible mission of Shining Stars. Pam had an injury in the recent past and is getting back on her feet. They need our support for an event Friday and Sunday.

The Shining Stars are having their major fundraising event this coming weekend.

Boots, Bolos & Boogie Event

• Volunteers are needed 8 AM this Friday - Sept. 9. This project could last until around 3-4 PM. Any length of time you can volunteer will be greatly appreciated.  This is a BIG ASK because of the physical nature of the request.  Pam has stated that she is aware that because this is a weekday, Friday, this will be a challenge to have the workforce.
• 6 volunteers lift large panels and load them by truck from the horse arena, 3185 York Road, Gettysburg (to the rear of the Freedom Valley Church)to the event location.  Two box trucks have been provided by Utz to transport the panels. Volunteers will drive their cars and follow the trucks to the Event Location.
• Unload the panels at the Event Location at the home of Mike and Jane Rice, 827 Hanover Road, New Oxford.
• Assemble the panels with on-site direction. It does require climbing up and down a ladder.

• They need 3-4 people for the lighter tasks. Placing tables, string lights, etc. These 3-4 positions do not require as much physical effort as installing the panels.
• The removal of the Event Site takes place at 8 AM Sunday, 9/11.
   

Spread the word. This volunteer event is NOT only for Rotarian members. Family and friends are welcome to join in. Let me know and I can add non-members to the roster. Thank you. – Dale Brubaker 717-448-6562 – dale.brubaker@hickoryfalls.com

Scope of the Panel Install:

Organization Contact for the Weekend - Pam Collins pcollins0114@gmail.com (717-624-4047)

Panels are constructed of a 2”x4” frame that is 4’x8’ and covered in a sheet of plywood. Two average people, man, or woman, can move an individual panels. Having six people allows the loading and unloading to go quickly as there are approximately 150 of them. They are just awkward because of their size.

Anyone with knee or shoulder issues would not be comfortable doing this task.

The team will load the panels into the box trucks at 800 AM. Volunteers follow the trucks to the event location at the home of Mike and Jane Rice at 827 Hanover Road, New Oxford.

The panels are unloaded in a specific order and assembled outside of the barn, creating an old west facade. This requires some lifting of the panels and climbing on a ladder to attach the panels at the top near the gutters of the roof.

Because the panels must be assembled one after the other, no more than 4 people are needed to assemble as we can only go as quickly as the one before is installed.

• The additional help is to set up and place the table and string lights at the same location. 

The setup is our more difficult timeframe to fill as so many people work.

They will need  help with the tear down on Sunday morning, doing everything in reverse.

Using six personnel to tear down is possible as the panels can be uninstalled in any order, laid on the ground, and loaded in the correct order for next year.

Tear down starts at 8 AM Sunday morning. 

Hello Hanover Rotarian, you and I are requested to serve in the support of our Veterans following our weekly meeting on the Second Tuesday of each month.  We are serving with the Roots for Boots organization distributing food and/or serving a wholesome lunch.

We are requested to serve between 1-3 PM on the second Tuesday of each month.  I will email a sign-up for the event dates.  You are encouraged to increase or decrease the number of volunteer hours on this day dependent on your schedule.  The number of public volunteers breathes and makes the success of the monthly support a challenge.

Some of this project's activity begins prior to our 12-noon Rotary meeting.  The location of this project is to the rear of The Markets of Hanover. 

Thank you for serving. - Dale Brubaker - dale.brubaker@hickoryfalls.com
