Wide Open Auto Detailing Wide Open Auto Detailing is unexpectedly having to move their shop from Bridgeville to Washington PA, where they were last year when they generously donated a $200 detailing certificate!! Their last day in Bridgeville will be March 7. The new location is at 755 Jessop Place Washington Pa 15301. If you can’t make it to Washington, that's OK because their donated certificate for service this year (valued at $200) is for mobile service. Just schedule Rudy to come to your home by calling this phone number: 412-221-9370. Rudy brings his own supplies, water and electric... truly mobile. He's detailed both of our vehicless and RV in our driveway and does a fabulous job! (Wendy's testimony) 1 000200.0 200 .0005E7 50

Ohiopyle Waterfall Hike Ohiopyle State Park is arguably one of Pennsylvania's most beautiful parks, and this is especially true in spring when the mountain laurels are in bloom. Today's 5.5-mile loop hike is Gretchen and Elizabeth's all-time favorite! You'll see many gorgeous waterfalls that are hidden from the casual Ohiopyle visitor. Most of the trail is moderate in difficulty, but be prepared for a few short and steep climbs and descents, especially near the waterfalls themselves. The elevation change is 685 feet. Hikers should be in good physical shape, and able to navigate over rocks, roots, and small creek crossings. The hike itself takes up to 3 hours. Enjoy a fabulous picnic lunch prepared by G & E after the hike. We will begin at the trailhead at 10am. Ohiopyle is 1.5-hour one-way drive from the church. Carpooling from the church will be arranged once we know how many people are coming. 16 000030.0 30 .0003E7 30 6/21/25 10:00 AM

Crafternoons (or mornings!) with Knitter Extraordinaire Have you always longed to learn to knit but never had the time? Do you prefer one on one instruction as opposed to self-teaching from YouTube? Or are you already a knitter but there’s a technique you want to master or a pattern you want to decipher? Spend some time with Sunnyhiller advanced knitter Vivienne Sebelle who is proficient at continental knitting of lace, cables, fair isle colorwork, simple brioche, mosaic knitting, short rows, DPNs & magic loop knitting in the round, sock construction, and garment fitting. She will meet with you twice for approximately two hours each for a total of 4 hours of knitting guidance. The first meeting will include help picking a pattern and a trip to a local yarn shop to select supplies (you are responsible for the costs of patterns and supplies). The second meeting will include hands on instruction and troubleshooting. Vivienne will be happy to send you additional instructional videos and demonstrations outside of these meetings to ensure you complete your project to your satisfaction. We will work together to schedule times that work for both our schedules. 1 000080.0 80 .0004E7 40

Pottery Lessons There will be a series of four sessions in my Mt. Lebanon home studio, each lasting approximately 2 hours. The first three sessions will be spaced about one-week apart. First session will be making items on the potter's wheel. The second session will be working with clay slabs and trimming the work from the first session. The third session will be a continuation of slab work to include adding various textures to the clay surface. All work made in the first three sessions will be allowed to air dry before being bisque fired in my electric kiln - this could take a couple of weeks. I will then contact you to come back to the studio and glaze your work using an assortment of my custom studio glazes. After the work has been glaze fired, I will contact you for pickup of your finished pieces. I will work with the winning bidder to establish dates that work for both of us. 1 000160.0 160 .0012E7 120
