Please arrive five minutes prior to our leave time. The bus will depart at the time listed in your booklet.
The driver is glad to assist you with items as you embark and disembark from the bus.
When you know you do not need a ride back to Homestead, call immediately.
Always call the RECEPTIONIST, not transportation, to cancel transportation for evening or weekend trips.
These considerations will keep down the cost for transportation. Thank you.
Transportation Policy
Homestead Village pays its drivers for a minimum of two hours, even when the
trip is canceled, if cancellation occurs less than three business days prior to the
date of the events. Therefore, residents canceling their transportation
reservation for an evening or weekend activity less than three business days
prior to the event will still be charged the transportation fee.
The cost of transportation drivers (meals and event charge) and fuel costs are
now being incorporated into the resident charge for the event. These will be
included in the advance promotion of the trip, so you are aware of the cost.

Sign-up Sheets
Each month, sign-up sheets will be placed in the activities sign-up book in the lobby by 8:30 am on
the Wednesday after you receive Adventures in Life.
For two weeks from the initial sign-up date, only residents will be permitted to sign up for an event.
After the first two weeks, non-residents and guests may add their names to the list.
Sign-up for guests this time begins Wednesday, May 4.
If you sign up for an event that has a minimum, please consider this event going unless you hear
from the Activity Department. We will call you only if we do not get enough to go.
If an event list is full, a waiting list will be started on the next page after the sign-up
sheet in the book. You will be called if you can go.
Note: If you don’t receive a call, you are not signed up for the event.
Please do not move a name from the wait list to the sign-up sheet. Karen Longenecker and
Maureen Deibert will work with the wait list when there is an availability to see if people want to
go and charge them accordingly.
 Never cross out someone else’s name from the sign-up sheets.
 Please inform Karen or Maureen if you give your spot to another person.
Unplanned Departures
Parking
Never park outside the main
lobby when going on outings.
Rather, park at Church of the
Apostles lot, and the bus will pick
you up and drop you off there.
Guest Policy
When you sign up a guest from
outside Homestead Village to travel
with you on an outing, please include
your name with the guest’s name, so
accounting knows whom to charge. In
the event that guests want to pay for
their own transportation and activity,
they will need to pay the receptionist
upon signing up to avoid having their
names removed from the list.
If you are inviting more than one guest,
please number them on the sign-up sheet
(i.e., Guest 1, Guest 2, etc.).
Adventures in Life
June 2016
If it is necessary for you to leave an
event because of medical or other
reasons, Homestead Village will
charge an hourly transportation fee,
if we are able to pick you up. You
may
also
arrange
your
own
transportation, and we can assist
you in calling.
Event Charges
Events with charges involved
will be added to your statement
the day listed that you need to
sign up by. After a charge is
added to your statement, it is
non-refundable. Please let us
know if you are unable to attend
an event, and we will post the
available event on Channel 95 to
try to help you sell your ticket.

Wednesday, June 1, 9 to 10 am
History Round-Table Discussion
Glasford Room
Fred Young will lead the discussion of
“James K. Polk.”
Let’s
get
together
over coffee
to discuss
issues
from
our
nation’s past. Any Homestead resident
who has a deep conviction of, concern for,
or just plain interest in these issues is
invited to attend.
The monthly programs will be in the form
of round-table discussions, with no
attempt being made to lead the group to
the same conclusion.
In other words, the purpose of each
program will be mutual enlightenment,
not debate. Political advocacy will be
prohibited. To help avoid this political
problem, topics dealing with issues that
have occurred since the end of World War
II will not be pursued.
Everyone with an interest in history is
welcome. Any newcomers who want to
join, please notify Jack Silknetter (3943084) or Bill Mehler (569-9864).
Saturday, June 4
Dorothy Rose Smith Concert Series
“Mozart’s Last 75 Days”
Highland Presbyterian Church
Leave at 6:20 pm
Probably more has been written about the
last months of Mozart's life than about the
final days of any other composer. Famous
for leaving things until the last moment,
Mozart did not compose the overture to
the Magic Flute until two days before the
Adventures in Life
June 2016
premiere on September 30. 1791, less
than 10 weeks before his death.
The autograph score for the Clarinet
Concerto, one of his last completed works,
has been lost. It seems that it was
originally intended not for the modern
clarinet, but for the basset clarinet, a rare
hybrid instrument, on which it will be
heard at this concert.
The Requiem is, of course, one of the most
famous incomplete works of all time.
Usually heard in the completion by his
copyist Franz Xaver Sussmayr, it will be
heard in this concert in the new editioncompletion by composer and Mozart
scholar
Simon
Andrews,
Highland's
Director of Music.
Š A $2.50 transportation charge will
be added to your statement.
Freewill offering optional at concert.
Š We need a minimum of 10 people.
Š Please sign up by Saturday, May 28.
Sunday, June 5
Mountville Lawn Concert
“Bainbridge Band”
Leave at 5:45 pm
The band was established in 1896 and
has been an asset to the community and
surrounding areas ever since. The
Bainbridge Band performs concert band
music. It not only benefits the community
as a source of live entertainment but also
provides an excellent experience for young
people to learn discipline, responsibility
and appreciation of their heritage.

our chair, please stay close to the
group, and the driver will help you with
set-up and pack-up.

Sunday, June 12
Fulton Theatre “Footloose”
Leave at 1:20 pm
One kid. One town. One chance...to dance!
When Ren and his mother move from
Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is
prepared for the inevitable adjustment
period at his new high school. What he
isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local
edicts, including a ban on dancing
instituted
by
the
local
preacher,
determined to exercise the control over the
town’s youth that he cannot command in
his own home. When the reverend’s
rebellious daughter sets her sights on
Ren, many of the locals eagerly believe the
worst about the new kid, overlooking the
personal aching in both the youth and
Adventures in Life
June 2016
adults that fuels the need to “cut loose.”
The rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar-and
Tony®-nominated top 40 score (the
soundtrack album reached number one on
the Billboard charts
and has sold over 15
million copies) and
augmented
with
dynamic new songs
for the stage musical,
“Footloose” celebrates
the
wisdom
of
listening to young
people and guiding
them with a warm
heart and an open
mind.
Tickets may be reserved by calling the
Fulton box office at 397-7425. The tickets
range from $21 to $55. Transportation
will be provided for ticket holders. Please
sign up by Saturday, June 4, in the lobby.
A $2.50 transportation fee will be added to
your monthly statement.

“The Ministers of Music”
Leave at 5:45 pm
The Ministers of
Music comprises
five
Lancasterarea men who
offer a variety of
musical
styles,
including
spirituals,
hymns,
gospel
songs, and praise
and worship choruses. The group sings
many familiar traditional songs in modern
arrangements. Selections feature a blend
of close harmonies accompanied by piano
or sung a cappella.
Members of the group are Lamar Dourte,
Steve Fikkert, John Frye, Bob Kettering
and Ron Ludwick. Each member, at some
time, has served in music ministry of a
Page | 5
local church. Two of the men are Church
of the Brethren pastors.
The Ministers of Music was organized in
1979 to sing for a community worship
service. The group has performed in
churches, at retirement homes and at
camps in Pennsylvania, New England,
Indiana, Florida and Arizona. They have
sung on cruise ships and have been
featured on the "Gospel Tide Hour" radio
broadcast.

Sundays
11 am
Burkholder
Chapel
It is with great pleasure that we announce that Homestead Village is offering additional opportunities
to renew, practice and build your faith right here on campus.
Locally we are blessed to have several wonderful congregations in our area that many of our residents
attend and support. We are very grateful that you have that opportunity, and trust you will continue to
find spiritual fulfillment in those settings.
At the same time, we have several other residents that no longer have a church home, or have moved here
and do not have connections with people away from our campus. It is in response to this need that we are
offering a Sunday morning church service here on campus in the Burkholder Chapel.
Rev. David Longenecker, Chaplain of Homestead Village is coordinating this adventure. According to Rev.
Longenecker, “We are designing worship services to be meaningful and rewarding. We will be including
important elements of worship from a variety of Christian denominational backgrounds to create an
atmosphere that feels familiar, sacred, and contributes to your spiritual growth.”
The service will start at 11 am each Sunday morning, and last between 45 minutes to an hour. There will be
a reflective liturgy, singing, scripture reading, prayer, a message, and often we will celebrate communion
together. If you have questions, you can contact David Longenecker by email ([email protected])
or phone (717-397-4831, ext. 152).
Here are answers to some questions already asked…

There is no expectation that people need to move their church memberships from their home
church in order to be a part of the service.

The Sunday afternoon service held in the Apostles Center of Care will continue to be offered at 2:00
p.m.

The service is open to anyone wanting to enrich their spiritual walk, and grow in their Christian
faith.

People will have the opportunity to contribute to an offering, which will cover the minimal
expenses of the service and support community ministries chosen by the group attending.

We have an open policy when we offer communion. We understand that God is
active in all our lives, and it is in our nature to yearn for a closer relationship with
the Holy.
Weekly services will start Sunday, May 1st in the
Burkholder Chapel at 11 am. All are welcome.

She will focus on body alignment and

This is a practice that primarily focuses

mindful
breathing, while connective tissue
becomes stimulated and regenerated –
encouraging the body’s natural ability to
heal. The gentle, restorative focus of this
practice greatly benefits cancer survivors
suffering from heavy fatigue, pain or
inflammation – as well as those seeking
a healing and preventative approach to
injury. Great for those who would like to
experience a gentle yoga session.
 Wear comfortable clothing. Yoga is
practiced in bare feet or yoga socks.
 If you don’t have the following items, it is
suggested that you purchase them: an
eco-friendly sticky yoga mat ($30), a
yoga strap ($10), and two (Mexican)
blankets ($60).
These may be
purchased through Maria. Please indicate
on sign-up sheet, if you would like to do
so.
 Minimum of 11 for the class to go.
 The cost is $120 for the 10-week session,
and it will be added to your statement.

A seven-part series
Sessions held at PRC, 633 Community Way - 3:30 to 5 pm
- Please sign up for the series by Sunday, June 5.
Many of us have benefitted from life-saving and life-extending medical procedures that
have added years of happiness and fulfillment to our lives. We live in an amazing time.
At the same time, we are discovering that medical science now has the ability to sustain our
physical bodies longer than we might desire. We are becoming more aware of the balance
between the physical definition of life, and the emotional and spiritual meaning we find in
life.
We want you to live meaningful lives here at Homestead Village, no matter where you live
and at what stage of life you find yourself in. Consequently we have been focusing on these
issues for the past year by studying various books and forming different task committees.
Therefore, we are inviting you and your children and/or POA, to a series of seven
discussions as we consider living a full life…
June 16 ~ Starting the Conversation with Dr. Bob
We will be discussing, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in
the End, by Atul Gawande. This book has added to a growing
national conversation about aging well and living fully. Learn
about five helpful questions as we face life’s end. Discover some of
the changes taking place in the medical profession concerning end
of life issues.
Presenter: Robert Krissinger, MD
June 23 ~ WITF’s documentary based on the book,
Being Mortal – Medicine and What Matters in the
End by Atul Gawande, MD
The film will be shown and an overview of the quality initiatives
being done here at Homestead as a result of this work will be
discussed. You may order the book Being Mortal. Please designate
when signing up, if you want the book. The cost is $16.50, and it will be
added to your statement.
