The "SHAWN RYAN
PAVILION"
Shawn is a Life Scout in Boy Scout Troop
117 of Coatesville. For his Eagle
Scout Project, he offered to build a pavilion in our "back
yard" for our clients and staff to enjoy their breaks and lunches
outdoors. The project started in August, 2006 with Shawn creating
the plans, fundraising, and getting the building permit. As
you can see from the picture, he did
a wonderful job!
A dedication ceremony was held
June 30, 2007 where
Shawn was officially presented with his Eagle badge. |

Ken Van Gilder, owner of the Downingtown Bicycle Shop, has come up with a neat way of raising money for Handi-Crafters which he calls Pedals for People. Bring your used bike into his store - good quality bikes only.
Ken will do what is necessary to make sure its mechanically sound.
He will sell it and donate the entire proceeds to Handi-Crafters.
As the bicycle donor, you will get a tax-deductible receipt.
Handi-Crafters Executive Director Amy Rice says Pedals for People is one of the most imaginative ideas shes ever seen for raising money for the agency.
So, if you have an old bike you dont need, give Ken a call at
610-269-5626 or stop by his shop at 833 W. Lancaster Avenue to
find out how you can turn it into cash for Handi-Crafters and get a tax deduction at the same time.

Ruffinis 7th
Annual Car and Motorcycle Show
|

|
| Hundreds of car and bike
enthusiasts will be cruising to Ruffini’s Italian Restaurant in Thorndale on
Sunday, August 17, 2008 to enjoy an afternoon of fun in the sun at Ruffini’s 7th
Annual Car and Motorcycle Show. Last year there was an awesome selection of classic cars
and bikes ranging from a 1930 Ford Model A complete with rumble seat and a
totally rebuilt 1957 Chevy Belair convertible to a sporty little yellow,
two-seater, ’67 Cobra. Corvettes and Harleys were also be there in force. Over
100 exhibitors came from all over Chester County to show their vehicles with
pride at the 2007 car show and we expect it to be even bigger and better in
2008! The
event will, once again, benefit the programs of Handi-Crafters.
THANKS RUFFINI'S!!!!! |

For the fifth year, employees from the Malvern-based pharmaceutical company, Centocor, became Secret Santas to a group of our workers over the holiday season.
