Apple Butter Boil 

 

A long-standing tradition of the Red Land Area Women's Club is its apple butter boil.  On September 8 (one of the first cool days in months!) club members, with the help of family members, started early in the morning to begin the apple butter making process.  After many long hours of stirring, the apple butter is declared just right, and the canning process begins.   

   

The Red Land Area Women's Club has been making apple butter for the New Cumberland Apple Festival, held in September, for over 20 years.  Proceeds mainly go to scholarships given annually to graduating seniors at Red Land High School.  Many other organizations in the area have received donations as a result of this effort.    

 

                         

 

 

    Habitat for Humanity 2011-2012 Update:   Each month, Red Land Area Women's Club Members serve lunch to workers of Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg area.  This is a very successful effort and the workers are delighted to be served their favorite barbeque sandwiches, chips, fruit, and drinks.  Twelve volunteers were served lunch in December.  This is a  very worthwhile endeavor.  Thanks to one and all for making this a successful outreach.  For more information about Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg area, visit http://harrisburghabitat.org/.

In March, the RLAWC collectied items for Friends & Neighbors, a local non-profit serving our area.  They provide assistance with home heating oil costs, home repairs, immediate needs, and coordinate resources in the community.  Thanks to the generosity of club members, more than a full box of household goods, personal care items, grocery gift cards and a check for the heating fund was delivered to Friends and Neighbors. They were most appreciative of the club's assistance in their mission of serving the needy in our community.

In March, four RLAWC club members traveled to Mechanicsburg to Mission Central to do a service project for Haiti.  Health kits were assembled consisting of a hand towel, washcloth, cake of soap, toothbrush, comb and nail file.  All these things were rolled together and put in a one gallon plastic bag.  Mission Central had already sent four trailer truck loads of kits out before we went there.  Can you imagine how many gallon bags you can fit in a trailer?

 

 A tour of the Mission Central facility was given.  Everyone was amazed at all the things that go on in that warehouse and almost everything is done by volunteers.  Bethesda Mission has a corner of the building, and New Digs Ministry has another corner.  New Digs collects all type of household goods to help people set up an apartment when they have nothing to start with, perhaps a fire or getting out of prison or a hospital.  When things are donated, what one group can’t use another one will.

 

What a simple, but another awesome way to service not just our community, but those in need around the world!
