On Saturday and Sunday, February 11 and 12, from 12 to 2pm each day, local author, Autumn Jordan, will be signing copies of her newest Valentine novel, Perfect Hearts at Galen Glen Winery. She will also be signing Perfect, Seized By Darkness and her newest suspense, Obsessed By Darkness. Books are $10 each (cash only). She writes sweet. She writes steamy. Her contemporary romantic comedy and romantic suspense novels are heart-warming and make the perfect valentine gift or accompaniment to a cozy chair and a glass of wine. Kathy Matson, tasting room manager invites guests to come and meet the author, learn the inspiration for her stories, and enjoy the winery’s chocolate and wine pairings in their warm and inviting pavilion. She suggests before leaving one should purchase a novel, a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine and create your own winter retreat at home. Whether you’re looking to impress a date, plan a girls-day-out or just indulge in a treat for yourself, Galen Glen has something for everyone during this special weekend.
Autumn Jordan has been recognized by the Romance Writers of America as a National Golden Heart® finalist and is a Golden Leaf Winner. Recently, she received a “Best Indie Romance Author” nomination from Amazon’s Kindle Book Reviewers for Seized By Darkness. She takes real-life headlines and twists them into tales that will make you laugh out loud or think, “that could be me.”

 Join SACF in Celebrating 50 Years of Charitable Giving
January marks the start of Schuylkill Area Community Foundation’s (SACF) 50th Anniversary Celebration. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to support the charitable work of our wonderful donors who serve so many people throughout Schuylkill County. Since 1967, it is you – our fund holders, donors, professional advisors, and community partners – who are the greatest measure of our success!
In honor of this significant milestone in the history of the Community Foundation, we are launching a program to raise $50,000 to increase our grantmaking capacity to support the nonprofit organizations in Schuylkill County. You are invited to join the Circles of Giving by making a contribution to the Golden Circle or Community Circle! Every dollar will directly impact programs or projects submitted through the Foundation’s grant cycle which opens on January 1 and concludes March 15. The grant process, eligibility, and application are available at www.sacfoundation.com.
“The program has two levels – the Golden Circle is a giving level of $1,000 and above; the Community Circle is a giving level of $5 up to $999. Every dollar makes an impact within this program,” said Eileen Kuperavage, Executive Director. “At this time, $27,000 has been pledged to kick off the Circle of Giving, and with your donation we will reach our goal to provide greater funding opportunities for the nonprofit community this year as we celebrate 50 years of charitable giving.” The Golden Circle donors are listed in the order the pledge has been received, and will be updated as additional donors contact the office: Sonric Associates, Herman Yudacufski Charitable Foundation, Dunkin Donuts, Mrs. T’s, PPL Foundation, Branch Banking & Trust Company (BB&T), M & T Charitable Foundation, and Mr. & Mrs. Richard Purcell.
In the last fifty years, the endowment funds awarded $7,563,987 in grants and scholarships to nonprofit organizations and students. We encourage you to be a part of this celebration! Checks are made payable to SACF, mailing address is 216 S. Centre Street, Pottsville, PA 17901 or contact Eileen at the SACF office at 570-624-7223 or ekuperavage@verizon.net for more information.
It’s that time of year when we gather to celebrate the Greater Pottsville Winter Carnival. This year’s theme is 50 years of Community Spirit and the recipient of the Billie Payne Scholarship is Rachel Cataldo. She was crowned the 2016 Snowflake Princess and the scholarship of $1,000 is for her college education at Susquehanna University. Rachel will be pursuing a major in communications with an emphasis in broadcasting and sports media.
For 50 years, Winter Carnival has a strong tradition in leadership and Mrs. Payne exemplified this trait. Your challenge is to lead by Mrs. Payne’s example of integrity, dedication, humility, fairness and sense of humor. A challenge to inspire others to make this county a better place.
Billie Payne is certainly in our hearts as we look forward to crowning the 2017 Snowflake Princess and her court.
On behalf of the Billie Payne Scholarship Committee and the charitable endowment services of Schuylkill Area Community Foundation, it is our privilege to support the educational goals of Winter Carnival’s Snowflake Princesses since 2009.
