having our dedicated community members join us for these great events.

while making new friends. Thank you to our fantastic instructors!
The East Berlin Area Community Center’s mission is to improve the health, happiness and physical well-being of the residents of the area. The programs and events that we have lined up
this fall do just that! In fact, this fall marks the most programs that we have EVER offered for
adults and children! We are thrilled to offer creative outlets such as Paint Night, Pottery & Mosaic Class, Paper Cutting (the art of Schrerenschnitte) and a Water Color class. Classes such as
Dr. Mike Brown’s 6 week weight loss program, classes on the benefits of proper nutrition,
healthy cooking classes and yoga will re-engage your physical well-being. We even have some
cooking classes for parents and children to have fun cooking together.
Also, in partnership with Zwingli Church – East Berlin Area Community Center will be holding
the 1st ever Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, October 10th. Read on to learn all delicious pumpkin
items you can purchase for breakfast and lunch and all the fun, fall activities that we’ll be offering on October 10th. There’s even going to be a pre-carved pumpkin contest with prizes for 1st,
2nd and 3rd place. You don’t want to miss this!
Once the fall air turns from crisp to brisk, it’ll be time for our Christmas Bazaar, Christmas
Shoppe and Christmas Festival.
We look forward to seeing each and every one of you at an upcoming program, fitness class,

OFFICE (717) 259-7237
From the Secretary at Hamilton Township:
Hamilton Township has been very busy these past few
months. The Road Crew has been patching roads and filling pot
-holes. Residents in East Berlin will be happy to know that within the next few months, Hamilton Township will be re-surfacing
Beaver Street. The office staff and our intern from Penn State,
Christopher Bianco, have been working on our own Newsletter
that will come out in the fall.
Regrettably, Hamilton Township has had to cease recycling services here at the township. In the past few months,
someone has been taking any and all of the bags of aluminum
cans and some of the barrels that Adams Rescue Mission provides, have disappeared. We have also had problems with people dropping off items that cannot be recycled and discarding
these items is costing the township.
Board meetings are held the 1st Monday of each month.
Planning Commission meets on the 3rd Tuesday each month.

painting tips and techniques.
Our instructor, Debra Strausbaugh, is from East Berlin and studied Fine Art and graduated from York Academy of Arts. She has
taught painting and drawing classes for all ages and enjoys painting in acrylics and pastels.
Her artwork varies from flowers, landscapes, and whimsical mermaids. Deb recently exhibited her paintings at Hauser Winery in
Gettysburg. Making painting instruction easy to follow and fun,
she reminds us, "Everyone is an artist. It's just a matter of relaxing and enjoying the art of creating something you can call your
own!"

Expanded Summer Enrichment Camps
are a Huge Success for 2015!
This was EBACC’s 3rd Year of providing Summer Enrichment
Camps to the children in our community and were the most
attended to date with 21 camps to chose from over 9 weeks of
the summer! The 263 campers had as much fun playing and
learning as the instructors did instructing this summer!
Each week, there were 30 to 50 campers that tested themselves both physically and intellectually. The campers chose
from either a sports related camp or leisure camp such as
arts/crafts, theater, cooking, or jewelry making. We kept our
favorites, arts and crafts, cooking, sports sampler, basketball,
volleyball, playground games, cheerleading and dance. We
added a few new camps; Lego, Science Experiments, Soccer, and Martial Arts. Our most popular camp this year was
science experiments. We had quite a few explosions and lots
of chemical reactions. Whatever camp the children chose,
there was always a huge smile on their faces at the end of the
day and a wish that the week was just a few more days longer.
A special thanks to all our camp leaders, camp assistants, and
the community center volunteers who helped make our summer so fun and successful.
We could not have achieved EBACC’s summer camp program without the staff, volunteers and the children working
together.
Remember to tell all your friends what an awesome year
you had at EBACC’s 2015 Summer Enrichment Camps
and we look forward to seeing you again in 2016!
