Medical center launches fundraising campaign
McCONNELLSBURG, Pa. — Fulton County (Pa.) Medical Center has announced the launch of its 2012 Annual Giving Campaign.
Last year's campaign raised more than $11,000 and helped fund training for smoking cessation instructors, the Red Cross swimming program at Great Cove Golf Course & Recreation Center, numerous health care scholarships, and other patient care and wellness initiatives of Fulton County Medical Center.
"Support for this year's campaign is more crucial than ever as funding has been reduced for many crucial programs of the medical center," said Robert Roush, executive director of the foundation, in a news release.
Roush said donors may support any particular program or department of the medical center, patient care or health education in general, or may support the foundation with an unrestricted donation.
Residents will receive a letter or call in coming weeks. For more information, visit www.fcmcpa.org and click "foundation," or mail donations to FCMC Foundation, 214 Peach Orchard Road, McConnellsburg, Pa. 17233.
Rouzerville Lions Club to stage ninth annual dance
ROUZERVILLE, Pa. — The sounds of '50s and '60s rock 'n' roll music will return to the area on Nov. 12 when the Rouzerville Lions Club stages its ninth annual dance featuring "Relive the Big Dipper 9."
The event will be held in the Hooverville Elementary School cafeteria.
The "Big Dipper" was a small Rouzerville restaurant operated by Dick and Mary Jane Boyer. It has since been torn down and the Sheetz convenience store now is at the site.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Big Dipper was a popular hangout for the teenagers of the area. The jukebox played constantly and it was wall-to-wall people with standing room only.
In 2002, the Rouzerville Lions Club decided to try to recreate this setting by staging a night of nostalgia in a fundraising function called "Relive the Big Dipper."
Music will be played by Mike Embly of Coast-to-Coast Productions. Typical food and drinks for the era are sold by the Lions.
All proceeds raised at the event go into the Lions service account to support community, county, state and national charities.
Cost to attend is $5, which includes a chance on a Landis Whitsel print of the Big Dipper. The music plays from 7 to 10 p.m. for dancing.
Advance tickets are being sold at the Greater Waynesboro Chamber of Commerce, The Record Herald and Ronnie Martin Realty in Waynesboro. Tickets will also be sold at the door.
For additional information or directions, call 717-762-4218.
