Poet Laureates at Hall of Philosophy

Free | 10-11 a.m., Friday, August 7 | 212 Gettysburg Ave., Mount Gretna

Jesse Waters discusses “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus, the poem at the feet of the Statue of Liberty. Donations are appreciated.

For almost 140 years, the U.S. government, through the Library of Congress, has honored the field of poetry in terms of its power and presence in our communities by choosing a Poet Laureate (first referred to as Consultant in Poetry) to represent this particular art in our culture. But who were the people they chose as a representation of that very same power and presence, and what did they themselves create?

In these investigations, we’ll take a deep dive into the actual poetry of four pivotal Consultants in Poetry and Poet Laureates in an attempt to discover why their particular art was chosen as a Bellweather for poetry in this country, and how they may have made indelible contributions to the lives of readers and writers across the American landscape.

Conversation Café: ‘Common Ground’ at Hall of Philosophy

Free | 9-11:30 a.m., Saturday, August 8 | 212 Gettysburg Ave., Mount Gretna

We revisit, by request, last year’s showing of “Common Ground,” which highlights regenerative farming. Now, view the documentary through the lens of knowing that Pennsylvania is accelerating regenerative farming as a participating partner with a new USDA-backed $700 million pilot program, focusing on enhancing soil health. This, coupled with investments by America’s food industry, illustrated by McDonald’s USA’s late 2025 $200 million seven-year initiative into the Grassland Resilience and Conservation Initiative in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, is a trend that we should work to understand. Investments are designed to enhance biodiversity, conserve water, improve soil health, and boost economic returns for farmers and ranchers while working toward sustainability goals that should bring us toward net-zero by 2050. Come and prepare yourself to take part in broader community dialogues on the subject while enjoying this initial local opportunity to ‘expresso’ yourself and/or share some personali-tea!

Conversation Café moderators: Gretna resident, Julie Herman [Juliewrayh.substack.com] is a writer best known for her landscaping-based mysteries. She is a lapsed Master Gardner (Texas) and spent a year as an intern at Home Sweet Farm, a sustainable CSA farm in central Texas. Tom Maiello is the convener of a number of discussion groups, most recently Great Discussions Myerstown, which meets monthly at the Myerstown Community Library under the tagline, “Imagine Talking as a Way of Peace.” Together, they invite thoughtful dialogue and welcome your insights!

Donations are appreciated.

Hope for Hurting Parents at North Cornwall Commons

Free | 2-3 p.m., Sunday, August 9 | 410 Springwood Dr., Lebanon

Hope for Hurting Parents was started by Tom and Dena Yohe in 2011, based on their own 10-year journey with their daughter, Renee, who struggled with mental health issues, addiction, and self-injury. They continue to lead free Zoom meetings monthly and send out inspirational emails weekly. They encourage people to start small in-person groups in their own community, which Joe Duke did three years ago.

People seem to find comfort and strength in meeting with others who have gone through similar situations. At support group meetings, we discuss one of 22 topics as outlined in Yohe’s workbook, such as self-care, enabling, worry, anxiety, hope, and guarding your family. The workbook also includes prayers, exercises, websites, and other resources.

Support group sessions are free and open to anyone who is a parent, caregiver, or loved one of someone who struggles with mental health issues, estrangement, addictions, gender dysphoria, incarceration, homelessness, or any other problem that causes you to experience emotional and spiritual turmoil.

Our mission is to give comfort, encouragement, and hope to hurting parents/caregivers on their journey from surviving to thriving.
