Open House soon at the Settlement House in Sylvania, PA

Connie Sickler is getting ready for her annual Open House the two days following Thanksgiving - Nov. 26 and 27.  She will be open from 10 am until 5 pm both days.  Double-click the image to go directly to youtube and to have more control over the playback of the video. I'll be there one

Still working

Gaining. Various degrees of progress.
