One of the April evacues from An Loc orphanage in Vietnam, Matthew has found a ready-made family with Becky and Terry and their two children, David and Joy Lynn.

Lester Bingeman is general chairman of the dedication committee. Serving with him are Ronald Roberts, Robert Keller, Paul F. Diehm, and members of the Ladies Auxiliary. Meanwhile, the fire company is launching a second fund drive to pay off the remaining $39,235 debt by: Bonnie Szymanski Are they crazy, or have they discovered a sure-fire way to happiness? Several area families who, in spite of already having large families or other toddlers, have taken on the added burden (although they wouldn’t call it that) of another child. We were recently informed that numerous families in and around the Lititz-Warwick area were in the process of adopting Vietnamese orphans, all of whom were among the April evacuees from conquored South Vietnam and in desperate need of homes. The privilege of adopting these special children was offerd only to families across the United States who had already for the new facility. , .. been th,r ough t.h..e To date, costs have been adoPtlon Pr°c_edure with We visited most of the children, as they began their first days in school. Three have recently started kin-dergarden at White Oak School in the Manheim Central District; one has begun classes at the Sporting Hill School in the same district; and one is a bit too young for any school: he’s only 18 months old. Matthew Matthew is the third child of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Grube, 221 S. Spruce St. Their first is David, 7; their second is Joy Lynn, 2, who came to them via Korea about six months ago; and the third and newest child is Matthew, 18 months, newly arrived from the An Loc orphanage in Vietnam. Matthew and Joy were last seen by this reportr playing beginning to think perhaps they wouldn’t be called. But they were and immediately drove to York to meet Matthew. Now their children number three, and Becky dosen’t sit still for a minute. But as she dashed past us to retrieve a straying toddler - she’s become quite light on her feet since Joy and Matthew arrived - we couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy about the wonderful adventures in parenthood that lay before the Grubes. Daphne and Melanie Daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn F. Shenk, Lititz R2, Daphne and Melanie are still called Lowm and Hoa at times by teachers when they want to get the children’s attention. Daphne, 6 and Melanie, 8, have been with agencies authorized to bring them into the country. Therefore, most of the families had at least one oriental or bi-racial child they called their own. The reason for contacting 4c.o l*lcenc ted la_stj y ie_a_r ai mao_u_n__te_df amilimes was, of course, th£e obvious one of implementing the adoptions as quickly as but also for $69,273 in addition to the original purchase price of $90,000. Much of the renovation of the building, formerly a laundromat, has been done by fire company members. Contributions in the Grubes’ backyard as if the Shenks for about two they had known each other weeks now and are finding to $50,537, and local firemen and members of the auxiliary have raised a n _... additional $47,000.

Becky Grube said they picked Matthew up in York last Wednesday after receiving a call from a representive of the Tressler Lutheran Social Service Association telling them a child was available and needed a home. The Grubes had been in contact with the organization about three or four weens ago and had agreed to take a Vietnamese child if asked to provide a home for one. Becky said they hadn’t heard anything from the organization and were activities in their new environment more and more familiar. The Shenks have four other children, two of whom are also adopted. Audrey Shenk, their mother, told the Record-Express that the girls were adopted together because they have lived most of their lives in close contact at the An Loc orphanage and relate to each other as sisters. They will become real sisters in six months when the adoption is finalized. The girls spent their first {Continued on Page 2] 5281 in Warwick Area Eligible to Vote Tues.
