Welcome Wagon plans active
year with President Lois Phalen
by Susan R. Back
“Our aim is to be friends
to newcomers, give service
and aid to our community,
and have some fun!’’ says
Lois Phalen, new president
of Welcome Wagon in
Mount Joy.
Born in Minnesota, Lois
lived in several states before
moving to the Mount Joy
community three years ago.
Lois, her husband Dale, and
two children Erin, 7 and
Laura, 2 are members of the
Mount Joy Presbyterian
Church where she is a
member of the choir.
Before holding the office
of President, Lois served as
co-chairman of socials for
the club and treasurer of a
women’s bowling league.
She enjoys crafts, sewing,
embroidery, knitting, de-
coupage and canning. She
stresses the importance of
being a homemaker, but
also feels women should be
treated equally. Lois states,
“I feel strongly about being
a full time homemaker, wife
and mother while the
children are young; I could-
n’tdevote as much time and
energy to my activities
outside the home if Dale
didn’t share the work with
me as competently and
generously as he does. We
have a very special and
beautiful relationship in our
marriage .”’
Being the Bicentennial
enthusiast that she is, Lois
has centered the club’s
theme on the Bicentennial
idea. The club’s sponsor
board, made by Joanne Fry,
historian, reflects this i-
mage. One of the club’s
money-making projects is
selling Bicentennial candles
