Welcome Wagon Clubs,
also known as Newcomers
Clubs, are found in cities
and towns throughout the
country. For some it is a
‘*halfway’’ house. The
chance is there to meet
new friends and familiarize
oneself with the community
and its activities —then go
on to those other activities.
For many, it is the social
and civic organization they
choose to stay with.
The Mount Joy Welcome
Wagon Club was organized
in 1968 through the efforts
of Phyllis Longenecker and
other interested women. In
the last nine years, the
club has grown in member-
ship from 7 to 60, with
about 350 women enjoying
the activities over the
years. Many of the
members are active in
scouts, church groups, and
school work. Varied and
interesting programs are
presented at the monthly
meetings. Special interest
groups —crafts, bridge,
tennis, etc., meet during
the month and special
socials are planned
throughout the year. The
club is interested in the
community of Mount Joy
and tries to do its part in
helping to support the
various programs. Fund
raising activities include
hoagie sales, drawings,
circus, rummage sales,
bazaars, bake sales, and
the book drive and sale
have helped to raise over
$2600 which has been
donated to needy families,
the ambulance fund, Meals
on Wheels, Summer Play-
ground Program, and the
Mount Joy Library. Time is
also donated —the 2nd
floor of the Library was
painted, and twice each
month the women of the
Schock Home are visited.
The Mount Joy Welcome
Wagon Club meets the 3rd
Wednesday of the month.
If you have moved to the
Mount Joy area or moved
within Mount Joy (one
Mount Joy address to
another) within the last six
months, become engaged,
are expecting or had a
new baby, you are eligible
and invited to join the club.

tact Nancy Penkunas

The next meeting of the
club will be held at Roth’s
Furniture Store on Wed-
nesday, November 16th at
7 PM. After a short
meeting, representatives
from various furniture,
appliance, and rug com-
panies will answer ques-
tions on quality, decorat-
ing, etc. during a tour of
the store.
The Scavenger Hunt on
Saturday, November 12th
is the first social of the
year. For more information
call Marianne Melleby.
This is the first of several
‘Marianne has planned to
help the men meet some
new friends, too.
Fund raising activities in
progress are the drawing
for the $50 gift certificate
from Watt & Shand
(winner to be announced at
November meeting) and
final preparation for the
“Yuletide Magic’’ bazaar
and bake sale scheduled for
December 2nd and 3rd. All
profits from these sales will
go to the benefit of
Community Programs.
Anyone who has just
moved to the Mount Joy
area, become engaged or
had a baby, or knows of
someone who has, should
contact the Welcome Wa-
gon Hostesses —Cheri
Dillow 653-1609 or Pat
Burton 653-1963. They’ll be
glad to hear from you.
The 1977-78 year has
plenty of fun and work
scheduled on its calendar,
and the Mount Joy
Welcome Wagon Club will
continue to be a contribut-
ing part of the community,
both in money and making
people feel at home in our
town.
