In December, I was asked to help out at the opening of Menno
Haven’s new Rehabilitation Center -- thanking residents and
visitors for touring and offering a small take-away gift bag which
had goodies and information about Menno Haven’s Capital Campaign.
During those two days, I witnessed over 700 visitors enjoy the
beauty and excitement of this new center.
"I saw many smiling faces and heard many compliments on the new
building, and more generally, on Menno Haven - the community that I
call home.It was a wonderful time!"In the past year, I have gotten
involved in our community and it has been very rewarding. I am a
member of the “Nurturing the Human Spirit” Capital Campaign
Communications Committee, which basically helps to bring
understanding to our residents about Project GENESIS, as well as
the campaign to raise funds to assist with Project GENESIS.
In my work on this committee, in March of 2018 I wrote my first
article for the Haven Connect. This article introduced the “Get in
the Know” Gatherings to you. Along with Paula Warner, we began to
coordinate small group gatherings throughout Menno Haven to help
other residents get the facts on Menno Haven and Project
GENESIS.
“Get in the Know” Gatherings meet at residents’ homes throughout
Menno Haven. Each gathering is comprised of 6 to 12 residents, a
host and a Menno Haven Executive. A brief presentation on the plans
and progress of Project GENESIS initiatives is presented and then
residents have the opportunity to ask any questions they might have
about Menno Haven’s plans.
Throughout 2018, 22 small gatherings were hosted in resident
homes across Chambers Pointe and Brookview. In 2019 we look forward
to inviting our remaining residents to attend and participate in a
gathering, which means it’s going to be a busy year! All
independent living and personal care residents will receive an
invitation to join a gathering.
GET IN THE KNOWCOMMUNITY GATHERINGS
by: Karen Motyka, Resident Volunteer?The Menno Haven
Rehabilitation Center, which opened in December, marked the
completion of our first Project GENESIS building. There are three
additional projects underway which are part of Project GENESIS and
the Capital Campaign – a new Health Care Center, which will replace
the Brookview Nursing Center, a new Resident Life Center, and two
new Memory Care Houses. I hope you are excited about all this year
has to offer, because we still have much to learn and
celebrate!

Would you like to learn to drive a horse-drawn carriage?
Starting April 14, the Franklin County 4-H Therapeutic Riding
Center is offering lessons for seniors to do just that. There are
neither age nor residence limitations, but there are four
requirements: Your doctor must affirm that you are physically able
to do this. You will never be alone in the “carriage”, and it is
designed to allow you to drive from your wheelchair; You have
transportation to get to and from the Center, on Franklin Farms
Lane; You can pay a $25 fee per lesson; You complete an application
to join the program. We anticipate starting with about four
learners meeting weekly for four weeks. Understand this is not
“therapy” covered by any insurance program. It is purely for
pleasure and self satisfaction. To learn more about the program and
to meet the instructor, Morgan Shadle, come to the Northgate
Chinaberry Room on Monday, February 18 at 10AM. Applications will
be available at this meeting. If you can’t make this meeting, call
Bill Fasnacht (717) 264-6332 for information.

RESIDENT CORNERShared messages from one community to another
Attention city slickers! You don’t need to have any farm
experience to enjoy the PA Farm Show. There is something for
everyone. Food, crafts, horses, pigs, food, chickens, and did I
mention milkshakes. If for no other reason, go for the milkshakes!
But there are plenty of reasons to go. One is that you will see the
largest horses ever. A beautiful draft horse was said to be 19
hands tall - over 6 feet just to his shoulders! And most
importantly, you will come away with a heightened appreciation for
all the very hard work that goes into feeding us. A truly amazing
experience.

Recycling tip of the month: Keep your worn out sneakers. We will
collect them with our next medications collection in April. We
collected two 33-gallon trash bags in October. A few good pairs
were donated to the Treasure Chest for resale and the rest went to
the Nike Store in Hagerstown for shredding to be used for new
sneakers.
Solar power: The Green Team is discussing the possibility of
putting solar panels on some of the new buildings. We are looking
at the cost and the payback time. The major factor is the initial
cost, so we are investigating funding sources to help defray some
of the initial cost. Unfortunately, we cannot get the 30% federal
tax break rebate because Menno Haven does not pay federal
taxes.
GREEN TEAM NEWSSaving energy, or are you?: This is the second of
four articles about saving energy. This month’s topic is energy
used by lights. For lights, the rule of thumb is a light that is on
all the time (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) costs $1 per Watt.
If you have window lights that have 5W bulbs, the cost is $5 per
year for each light. If a light is on at regular intervals, say 8
hours a day, then the annual cost is a third of that above. A 60
Watt incandescent bulb on for 8 hours a day costs $60/3 = $20 a
year.
The first action to take to reduce energy use from lights is to
replace all incandescent bulbs with CFL or LED bulbs. An office at
Menno Haven had an incandescent 100W light bulb on 24/365.
Replacing this with a 26W CFL is saving Menno Haven $65 a year.
Replacing a 60W incandescent bulb that is on 8 hours a day with an
11W LED bulb saves about $15 a year. Both LED and CFL bulbs use
about one-fifth to one-sixth the energy of an incandescent bulb;
generally LEDs are more efficient. Plus, the LED does not have a
disposal problem (CFL bulbs contain mercury and should not be
discarded on the trash).
Of course, the best way to save energy for lighting is to turn
off lights that are not needed! Even a CFL or LED bulb on for an
extra 6 hours a day costs an extra $2.50 a year.

February 2019Banking Done Your Way
Investment & Trust ServicesValentine’s Day. A time for
hearts, flowers,
candy, and sometimes even jewelry. It's a time to reflect on
those we care about and show them how we feel.
Often times we would like to provide for the future of our
spouse, children, grandchildren, or a family member with special
needs, but we do not know how.
When properly crafted and maintained, a trust can provide
financial security for years to come. Trusts can be tailored to the
unique terms and needs of every situation. They can be funded
during your lifetime or through your will and can be directed to
provide for your loved ones in numerous ways. Trusts are often
created to provide educational funds for children, grandchildren or
even to support the financial needs of a handicapped individual.
Trusts can also be used to provide security for a spouse in the
event of a partner's passing. Our professionals at F&M Trust
are here to help determine if a trust may be right for your current
situation and future financial goals. If you would like more
information regarding trusts, please contact any of our commu-nity
offices or speak with a member of our Investment & Trust
Services Department at 717.261.3569.
Northgate Visits
Please note that all F&M Trust Offices will be closed on
Monday, February 18th
in observance of President's Day.
Holiday Closing
F&M Trust representatives will be onsite to answer your
questions on every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. Stop by any
time between 11:00-12:30 P.M and say hello!
