2004 Kickoff: Meet some of our County's Givers
  In The Giver, 12-year-old Jonas becomes the new Receiver of Memory, learning the importance of preserving community memory from the elder Giver. At our kickoff event, some of the county's own Givers told young receivers how life has changed in central PA over the decades. Read more about it and see pictures from the event. 

We also drew the winners of the Discussion Group hospitality prizes—eight groups received refreshments for their next meeting from area businesses.
