Eyeglasses Needed for the Philippines

Do you have extra eyeglasses—reading or prescription—laying around? On Monday morning, Chris Heinz and his family are going to the Philippines. They’re working with a pastor who ministers to people in the slums of Manila. One of the felt needs is for eyeglasses. If you can donate eyeglasses, there are two drop-off locations, which are available until 6 pm on Sunday: Good Steward Software, 110 Radnor Road, Suite 101, State College; or 1433 East Park Hills Ave, State College. Thank you very much!

Thought Provoking Theatre: Saturday, September 12, 2009 -- 7:30pm

TPT is something that began to allow us to creatively engage in social issues & begin thinking/talking about some of these things. We feature a film that raises awareness on a social cause or issue and we then discuss how this can be applied to our lives, etc.

This Saturday we will be watching the movie De Nadie. This documentary chronicles the journeys of several Central Americans as they attempt to enter the United States illegally. It highlights the journey, plight, and struggle that are very common for people searching for a better life for them and their family. After watching the film we'll discuss the movie, the issues, and what on earth this means for us living in Happy Valley. Questions? Contact Noel @ noel.habashy@gmail.com.

Location:
130 Farmstead Lane
Apt 204
State College, PA 16803

Directions to Harvest Fields:

>From SOUTH & EAST: Take Rte 322 west from Lewistown towards State College. The entrance to Harvest Fields is about ½mile past Elk’s Club Golf Course (you can see Tussey Ski slope on left). There are a few two-story apartments on the right side of 322 at Jack’s Mill Drive. Just after you pass these apartments (Centre Estates), you will see the gravel entrance to Harvest Fields on the left. Because this is a ‘right turn entrance in/exit out only’ you will need to continue past the entrance to turn around. To turn around-- bear right as 322 splits between Business & Bypass. Go under the over-pass. Take your first left after the over-pass (it comes quick!). Turn left and left again so the Boalsburg Technology Park will be on your right.***

From NORTH & EAST: From I-80 to Bellefonte exit #24, then Rte 26 south to State College. Two miles past Nittany Mall go east on Rte322 Expressway. Follow directions from North/West below...

From NORTH & WEST: From Rte 322 expressway east around State College. The expressway changes from four lanes to two lanes at the east end. Harvest Fields is directly in front of you as the road narrows.***

From Church – 1250 University Drive:
When exiting the church parking lot, turn right onto University Drive. At the signal light, turn left onto Atherton St./US-322 BR E. Continue for approximately 3.5 miles (through Boalsburg, past the Boalsburg Technology Park on right), at which point the US-322 E expressway and business route merge. After the merge, the entrance to Harvest Fields is just ahead on the right (~ 150 yards).***


***As the 2 roads marge, slow down & move onto the right shoulder. As you approach, you will see a line of trees on the RIGHT running perpendicular to the road; these run along both sides of the driveway. The gravel entrance is near a black mailbox with a small white sign "Harvest Fields and Calvary Offices." [If, as you continue driving east, you pass Centre Estates Jack’s Mill Drive, Elk’s Club Golf Course or Tussey Mountain Ski Area sign, you have gone too far.] After you turn into gravel entrance, follow the lane to the top of the hill. Parking is available near the 3-door garage or in the upper gravel lot. Enter the building from the front (by wooden handicap ramp).
