Tom Winston is struggling to raise his three children on his own after his wife’s death. After
meeting the charming and beautiful Cinzia Zaccardi at a concert, he hires her as a live-in
nanny. Unbeknown to Tom, Cinzia is actually a European socialite on the run from her
domineering father and has absolutely no experience with cooking, cleaning or raising
children. She does, however, have an interest in Tom.
NEW IN THE LIBRARY
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
In 1954, a pair of identical twins - Desiree and Stella -- creamy skin, hazel eyes, wavy hair ,
flee a small Black town for New Orleans. Their lives diverge as one returns home, and the
other takes on a different racial identify. The author weaves together multiple strands to
create a rich emotional family story exploring the troubling subjects of race, gender and
identity.

have the choice of staying on the Pennswood bus for the concert or there will also be some

tact me at 215-860-3547.

Community App Search Feature
Within the Resident Directory Module of our Community App you can
learn about fellow residents’ backgrounds and hobbies using the
search feature. Use the search bar to quickly find a resident by name,
or type another keyword, (e.g. church, knitting, gardening or golf) to
find residents that share the same interests as you. You can also
search by location such as Woolman, Barclay or by building name
(i.e. Loe). You can even search by floor for example, if you knew a
resident lived on the second floor of the Loe building and just couldn’t recall their name,
you could type L-2 into the search bar and get a listing of all the residents on the second
floor of the Loe building.
When residents include their phone numbers or email addresses in their profiles, use
the tap to call feature on your smartphone to save time by automatically dialing or
opening up an email.
A few months ago we also added a search feature for new residents. If you type
“Welcome New Resident” into the search bar, you will be presented with a list of
residents that have recently moved in. Use this feature often to engage with and
welcome the newest residents to our community.

Visitors to Independent Living Apartments
Please remember to use the following guidelines:
• You must notify the front desk, 215-968-9110 prior to having visitors to an independent
living apartment.
• Limit visitors to a two or three at a time, not entire large families. Young adult
grandchildren are especially risky visitors because data tells us many have not been
social distancing.
• Visitors must arrive with masks. They will be turned away if they arrive without a mask.
• Screening questions will be asked and temperatures taken at the Meadow Entrance
after which visitors may proceed directly to the apartment.
• Visitors should not come to campus if they have been to any of the current “hotspots”
within the last 14 days which are now: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Nevada,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
• Visitors may not enter the Community Building.
• It would be best if you met your visitors at the entrance to your building, and escort them
through your building to your apartment.
• There continues to be no overnight guests in apartments, or in any guest rooms.
t • Everyone should wear a mask while visiting in the apartment and take the mask down
only to drink/eat.
• Wear a mask anytime you are outside your apartment or have a visitor.
As always, Administration is glad to take your questions.

MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH
Let us pause to solemnly remember August 6 and
August 9, the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United
States.
Let us honor the memory of more than 200,000 Japa-
nese men, women, and children who died instantly or in
the years afterwards.
Let us commemorate the loss of over 80 million people
who died in World War I.
Let us recommit ourselves to a world without nuclear
weapons.
Let us learn to wage peace with the same skill and passion that
we apply to waging war.
Let us end this threat to all life on our planet and have peace in
our time.
If you would like to participate in the International Signature
Campaign and support our government’s signing the Treaty of
the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, there is a petition on the
Quakerism bulletin board.

ELCON APPLICATION WITHDRAWN
After six years of community opposition, the application for the
ELCON liquid toxic waste incinerator project proposed to be sited on
the Delaware River in Fallsington Townshiphas has been withdrawn.
The Delaware River is a key source of our water here at Pennswood.
For all those Pennswood residents who attended hearings, wrote
postcards, signed petitions, and otherwise make “good trouble” to
protect our water and air quality, this is a happy announcement
indeed. The Earth Care Committee thanks you for your persistence
and engagement.

GENERAL ELECTION VOTING: WHAT TO DO NOW
IMPORTANT: Election officials in Pennsylvania are expecting an unusually
high number of applications for updating registration and mail-in ballots.
Therefore, NOW is the time to take action in order to ensure that your paper-
work is processed in time, and most importantly, that your vote is counted. If you wait
until October, closer to the stated deadlines, you risk losing your right to vote, in case
applications become overwhelming later.
To change your name, address, or party affiliation since the last time you voted:
Online: Click on www.VotesPA.com and follow the prompts. Or:
Paper: Complete & mail a registration form, available on the League of Women Voters
bulletin board. (See mailing address below.)
To submit a Mail-in Ballot Application (no excuse needed):
If you did NOT check the “Annual Mail-in Request” box on your mail-in application for the
primary election, then you DO need to re-apply for the general election.
Online: Click on www.VotesPA.com Go to the mail-in & absentee ballot page;
complete & submit the form after checking for accuracy. Or:
Paper: Complete the “Pennsylvania Application for Mail-in Ballot” application,
available on the League of Women Voters bulletin board; send it to the Bucks County
Board of Elections, 55 E. Court Street, Doylestown, PA 18901
NOTE: If you DID check the “Annual Mail-in Request” box for the primary, you do NOT
need to re-apply. You will receive your ballot in the mail, probably during September.
Complete and mail it as soon as you receive it.
You can call the Bucks County Board of Elections at 215-348-6154 or 215-348-6163 for
additional help with registration or mail-in applications or ballots.
Remember: To ensure that your application is processed correctly and that your ballot is
counted, MAIL all items EARLY, well ahead of the state’s deadlines. NOW is the best
time to complete and submit applications.

29 Yoma Fire at Kew Gardens
London, England 2019
Kew is a botanical garden started in London in the
eighteenth century. To put artistic pieces by the
modern glass-master, Chihuly, among the garden’s
roses and ancient tree ferns struck me as an odd
choice. During an early summer visit, I found this
piece standing by itself on a lake, with matching
plantings behind it. In this context I felt it worked
quite well.
30 Helen Time to Get Up!
Steamboat Springs, Colorado 1995
It was Rainbow Weekend in Steamboat
Springs. The weather was perfect for the
annual hot air balloon race—clear skies,
light winds and cool temperatures. Every
hotel, motel, and B&B was booked. The
road leading to the fairground launching
area was lined with trucks loaded with
baskets, balloons, and propane tanks. In
order to be on time to watch the start
from a picturesque vantage point, we
climbed the hill overlooking the fair-
ground. When we got there, this is the
sight that opened in front of us.
1431 Jill These Things Tip Unexpectedly. Oh no!
Antarctica 2001
During an Antarctic cruise, we encountered
this artistic-looking iceberg while on a
small zodiac boat. We had just been
discussing the dangerous behavior of
leopard seals (which have been known to
attack zodiacs), leading to another
discussion about the dangers of icebergs
when they tip. Already, I was feeling
slightly uneasy. Then, the naturalist with
us asked if we wanted to drive through this
iceberg, the only one we had seen with an
arch. The vote was all yes, except for my
one weak, scared uh...No?! One look at
my husband convinced me quickly to agree
to go along with the majority. So we
zipped through very fast, the iceberg didn’t
tip, and I breathed again.
32 Stan Unforgettable Side Trip
Venice, Italy 1955
While in architectural school, I joined a
student summer tour to Europe. We
went to London, then on to Paris, and to
Rome. Venice was not included, so
most of us left the tour to go there. On
my own in Milan, I soon discovered that
no one spoke English at the railway
station. I managed, nevertheless, to
reach Venice. My next challenge was
where to stay overnight. Having failed
to find a pensione myself, I asked at a
housing bureau. They finally found me
a room across the Lagoon on the Lido.
Next, when the innkeeper insisted on
taking my passport to the police station, I agreed only reluctantly. With my challenges
finally overcome, I enjoyed a too-short visit to photogenic Venice, taking many pictures,
as the buildings seemed to float on the water along with the gondolas. I rejoined the tour
in Florence with few challenges. I was finally becoming an experienced traveler.
