The funds that we raise always go back into the community to continue beautification and maintenance of Millerstown, but this year has not been a profitable year because of the virus shutdown. The only other project that the organization does is a really neat collectible birthday calendar each year, and we are asking people to support it to put together another great calendar for 2021.  The calendar always has a picture of a historical building in the Millerstown area in black and white; this year is a picture of the stone building of the United Methodist Church in Millerstown Borough. Tom Ulsh takes the photographs each year of the building on the calendar.   The 12 month tear-offs are below the picture. Calendars are $5 and birthdays and anniversaries are $1 for each name.  You do not give the years, just the dates for each month. For additional information and orders, call Curt or Sherry Black in Millerstown at 717-589-3598.  Arrangements can be made to pick up the calendars at the Black home, or they can be mailed to you at an additional cost.  The calendars will be available before Christmas, and they can also make great Christmas gifts. “Show Your Bloomers” Contest Winners  2020 Millerstown Community Success, Inc. ran its second year contest in Millerstown Borough to encourage the citizens to participate and work together to make Millerstown more colorful and attractive this summer. The contest was called “Show Your Bloomers” and the contest was very successful. Flowers and plants were everywhere, and judges evaluated and assigned the awards for each of the categories that the committee had planned.--Prettiest Porch, Container Garden (Pots), Yards and Gardens, Window Boxes, , Businesses, Churches, Patriotic Theme, and Unique and Unusual . The winners were as follows: PRETTIEST PORCH: Loretta Shotsberger; CONTAINER GARDEN (POTS): Wendy and Jerry Wise; YARDS AND GARDENS: Kim and Ed Savercool; PATRIOTIC THEME: Cindy and Jim Roush; WINDOW BOXES: Lois and John Melville; UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL: Tessa Hinterliter; BUSINESSES: Stitch in Time; CHURCHES: New Harvest Church. Many thanks to everyone who made Millerstown bloom this year and make Millerstown Proud! Hopefully, MCSI will run the contest again next year. Thanks also to the appointed committee who planned the event; the volunteers met several times and made the plans for a highly successful event and thanks for the judges to go around town to view the beautiful flowers and arrangements; needless to say, it was difficult to make the decisions for each category because there were so many participants.
