We Couldn't Have Done It Without You!
Give Local York is a 24 hour "Day of Giving" in York, PA. Last year, $3.5 million dollars was raised for 300+ non-profits and on May 7, 2021 the record was SHATTERED!
You helped to raise over $3.7 million dollars this year for 302 Non-profit Organizations in York County!!!
The monies raised for White Rose Senior Center go to support the activities and operations for the Center. The pandemic caused a shortage in our general fundraising for the year so we are blessed to have received these donations!

Society, Dolls and the Civil War.
Presented by Nancy Walker and Jef Savage
This program provides an opportunity to learn about the social aspects of the Civil War and to produce a Civil War soft doll sewn by hand. The program, plus all fabric, materials and sewing tools for the dolls are being provided FREE by a Grant from Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts, with additional funding from White Rose.
Most Civil War programs are about leaders, logistics, battles and the men that fought them. This program focuses on the social activities of the War. What was everyday life like for the civilian population in the home, in public and on the battlefield. Explore their fashions, entertainments, toys, games and sports. Have fun participating in a guessing game to identify common everyday items of the Civil War and their uses. Explore the changing roles of women in support of the war effort. How much have they changed and what it still common today? Have fun joining in an interactive parlor game. Investigate the influence Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had on America and the War? Find out how Charles Dickens and other authors influenced the abolition of slavery.
From the oldest to the newest, dolls have been around forever. From earliest times, children around the world have had dolls as companions, confidants and collections. What is their history, their characters and their journeys? What did they see and what impact did they have on the Civil War?
During the Civil War many children played with dolls that were lovingly handmade by their mothers from scraps of cloth. You can recreate the past by hand sewing a Civil War era cloth doll of your choice – Miss Victoria or Humpty Dumpty. You will have the opportunity to make Miss Victoria or Humpty as gift for a favorite person or for yourself!
How Do I Sign Up?
Just let the staff know you are interested! We are asking that you commit to the 8-week program starting on Wednesday, June 9th from 10:00-11:15 AM. It runs every Wednesday through July 28th. It will be held outside (weather permitting & rain dates have been built into the schedule if need be). We will have tents, tables, and chairs available for those 60 and over who would like to participate.) Ladies and gentleman are welcome...Jef and Nancy are great speakers and educators!

Check Out the JUNE VIRTUAL PROGRAMS Being Offered by York County Senior Centers…
So More People Can Stay Connected!!!
Lisa Krout, from White Rose Senior Center, and Jenna Ericson from Windy Hill on the Campus are coordinating the links for this Pilot Project from the York County Senior Centers who would like to participate. Many Centers in York County are doing Zoom, Facebook Live, and other platforms and we have decided to collaborate together to offer more programs and possibilities for our Older Adults in York County who maybe homebound or possibly isolated.
Each Center who wants to participate email Lisa with their programs for the upcoming month. She compiles a brochure of activities and then sends it out to each Center to distribute to their members. Jenna uploads all of the activities from each Center to a landing page on Windy Hill’s website (Virtual Programs at Other Centers - Windy Hill On The Campus) . You can also find the information on the York County Area Agency on Aging’s website and Facebook page as well as many York County Senior Center’s sites.
We have noticed more attendees to the activities and like all good things, it takes time to grow! Please share this with any older adult you may know. We envision this project continuing even after the pandemic ends. We desire to connect to every 60-year-old in York County!
What do You Need to Participate in the Virtual Programs?
1. Either a computer, a tablet or a smart phone.
2. Internet connection.
If you do not have a device (computer or a tablet), TECH OWL offers FREE devices for loan. Call 717-737-3477 or 1-800-998-4827 for additional information.
