8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, October 28, 1998 Pastor (continued from page 1) program in New York. Scheuermann said his imme- diate goals include getting his fam- ily settled and to get out and meet the congregation. “We are going tovisit neighbors and church fami- lies who have dropped off,” he explained. “I'm looking forward to knowing the congregation.” He plans to revamp some min- istries that have been pastorless since Payne moved two months ago and fine tune some other pro- grams. But, Scheuermann as- sures he is not the type to come into a community and change everything for the sake of change. “I want to establish my own relationship, my own level of congregation.” Rev. Dennis Scheuermann Outlet Free Methodist Church The new pastor invites the com- munity to attend Outlet Free Meth- odist.

We want to help in an official capacity,” ex- plained Millington. Barolini, the new PTSO presi- dent, said people have to get in- volved if they want to see their ideas achieved. “I have certain things [ want to see accomplished. The only way to do that is to get involved,” she said. Since its formation three years ago, the PTSO’s biggest program, along with the guidance depart- ment, is the Student of the Month Award ceremony, held monthly. The program honors four students each month who are nominated by their peers, teachers, parents and community members. PTSO members solicit community busi- nesses to sponsor S50 savings bonds for each winner. “The Student of the Month would not exist without the PTSO,” said Jones. “These awards honor many students who otherwise would not be recognized.” : Two other big events are Career Day and the Education Fair. PTSO members solicit community mem- bers to come and speak to stu- dents about different careers and help organize the many college representatives that come to the school. Jones said the guidance office appreciates the PTSO’s dedica- tion because they do much of the legwork the guidance office does not have time for. “We could never do Career Day on our own. It takes months and an enormous amount of time,” said Jones. “We really have a team approach now.” Other PTSO sponsored events include student involvement in the Riverside Rumble, dinners for the homeless with VISION, food for the SPCA and coat drives. A coat drive is going on this week through Friday. One of the goals of the PTSO is to give students the opportunity to help others. With the coat and food drives, the students learn what it’s like to help strangers. (3 Robyn Jones Guidance counselor Kicking off the first Student of the Month Awards at Dallas High School, the senior class officers noes presented four pleasantly surprised students with awards.

Sitting, Pack, Bartolini, Ahmad and Piazza. “The kids get to realize the per- sonal perks you get from being in a charitable event. Kids can se- lect from a list of events. It’s an important part of education to give to others,” said Bartolini. Jones said these events not only enrich a student’s character; but their transcript too. “These events give our students an edge. Colleges look at community ser- vice and citizenship as heavily as extra curricular activities,” ex- plained Jones. The PTSO holds bake sales throughout the year to sustain its “shoestring” budget. A sale will be held Nov. 18 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. The next open PTSO meeting also is on Nov. 18, and members urge parents to get involved. No chains on us.

Then why let anyone but a doctor run your health plan? Decisions that affect your health care should be made by you and your doctor. That’s why, at Penn State Geisinger Health Plan, many of our top administrators are also doctors. Doctors who spend time caring for patients. Doctors who, even in this cost-con- scious era, still believe that “managed care” doesn’t mean “less care”. So if getting the right kind of care is important to you, make sure you pick the right person for the job. Choose the health plan that’s run by the people who know health care best.
