Activity Highlights VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR GIFT SHOP Bethlen Home’s Gift Shop is in need of Volunteers to help fill a few time slots throughout the week. The Gift Shop has been such a great success that we would like to have the shop open a few evenings starting in the fall. Our current shop hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The time slots we are looking to fill are Saturday mornings 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon. Wednesdays 12:00 Noon to 2:00 p.m. Sundays 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Tuesdays 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Those wanting to volunteer will be assigned to a time slot that will fit their schedule. The volunteer will then be responsible for reporting each week to the Gift Shop on their assigned time slot. Anyone interested should contact Sherry Humbertson at 724-238-1424 during business hours or stop by the Activity Office.

In my kitchen, I hull away The covering from my food bouquet, Exposing small jewels of sparkling hue, Bits of warm sunshine and parts of dew] That shimmer like jade in a showcase. Canning green peas is not commonplace But something like conquering Venus or Mars, When I store the summer away in clear jars. When buying your treats, please keep in mind the children are ages 1 year to 10 years old. Families wanting to drop off their treats for their loved one may do so at the Activity Office. The treats will then be given to their resident the day of the Halloween Walk for them to distribute.
