STARTING OFF THE
HOLIDAYS WITH A
CREATIVE COMPETITION
CRANBERRY GIRL
SCOUTS ARE NEIGHBORS
FOR NEIGHBORS
Girl Scout Troop #26667, their Tagalongs
and BSA Pack 406’s Den 8 Tigers joined
forces this year to enter PPG’s gingerbread
competition. The group enjoyed presenting
the Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch, the GaGa Pit
and Pinky the Owl at this year’s event, and
looks forward to participating in the
competition annually.
Cranberry Girl Scout Troop #24126 is
participating in Neighbors for Neighbors
this holiday season, and will host a tree in the
municipal center and several other locations
in Cranberry with wish lists for children in
need.
Neighbors for Neighbors is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to making the
holidays a little brighter for local children in
need, by fulfilling items from their wish lists.
In 2015, the organization brightened the
holidays for approximately 240 Pittsburgharea children.
There are many ways to get involved. Help
spread cheer this holiday season by making
a donation, sponsoring a child’s Wish List(s)
or purchasing a Wish List item. A Wish
List typically consists of five to seven items
a child would like for Christmas. The cost
of sponsoring a Wish List is around $150.
One-hundred percent of the tax-deductible
contribution will go directly to local children
in need.

UNDERWAY AT THE
ROSE E. SCHNEIDER
FAMILY YMCA
The Rose E. Schneider Family YMCA
is expanding its Wellness Center. After
receiving feedback from members,
Gymnasium Court 1 will be converted into a
Strength and Conditioning Wellness Center,
while expanding the current Wellness
Space into a Cardio Wellness Center that
will include new equipment and a new
cycle studio. This renovation will create an
additional Group Exercise Studio space,
which will focus on mind and body as well as
active older adult programming.
“I am more than excited to present
this new additional exercise space to our
members,” says Sandy Ihlenfeld, Vice
President of Healthy Living and Community
Outreach. “Health is important to us at the
Y! Exercise is Medicine!”
During the renovation, the facility will
operate as normal, and the remainder of the
facility will still be open. A Grand Reopening
is being planned for Jan. 28, 2017. ■
