So Long Good Friends
It's hard to say goodbye to Norman and June Wolbach. They too are leaving us on May 28 to go into residential living in the beautiful Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, PA.
Norm, a long-time member, came to Olivet in 1934. June married him in 1946 and in turn became a hardworking member. Norm served as an Elder, Trustee, and Deacon thereby giving a great deal of time to our Church.
June has been active with the ladies of the church over the years, and helped with VBS, even in recent years.
As a song says, "so long it's been good to know you"! It's been more than that. It's been a JOY! Remember to visit often.
Redner's
Hooray!! Olivet is still with Redner's Store getting rebates All we have to do is shop there, keep the register tapes and then put them in the box in the Church Office.
The valuable receipts add up quickly when everyone participates. In order for a register tape to qualify for the rebate, Redners' now requires us to give them the entire tape, not just the bottom.
Good News! Recently a letter and a rebate check in the amount of $129.79 arrived from Redner's to thank us for being loyal shoppers. Keep up the good work!
