Angels Make Dreams Come True!

What do you do with $10,000 in profits from the sale of hand made angel pins?

If you're Masonic Village at Elizabethtown resident Elaine Bleiler, the answer is obvious. Do what angels would do -- make dreams come true!

On May 1, six residents and three staff of the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown's Residential Cottage, home for eight adults with developmental challenges, departed from the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown for the journey of a lifetime -- a cruise to Bermuda!

The vacationers enjoyed the many amenities of cruising through the Caribbean...endless buffets, music and dancing, shows, movies and, of course, lounging poolside on the deck.

Two of the residents chose to stay behind and keep the home fires burning until the vacationers returned.

The travelers all had a wonderful time and are grateful for the time and effort that Mrs. Bleiler put into her angel pins to be able to give the residents and staff a "heavenly" gift of a lifetime. They also extend a special thank to Concordia Lodge No. 67, Jenkintown, and Lodge No. 9, for each contributing $500 toward the trip, as well as spending money for the cottage residents.

"Elaine has often said that our house is full of angels." said Missy Kilmer, Program Coordinator, "But she is an angel in our eyes!"

If you are interested in purchasing one of Elaine's beautiful angel pins, call (717) 361-3854 or look for her stand at Autumn Day.
