Christy Renjilian, CCC Executive Director, along with ELIC Emeritus Commissioners Pete Brubaker and Tony Campisi, provide a brief update on the state of childcare in York County, and the early success of an innovative grant program to support early childcare teacher retention. This grant program was made possible with philanthropic, corporate, and county government support. 

 

It is often said that early childcare teachers are the "workforce behind the workforce." The PA Early Learning Investment Commission (ELIC) is a partnership of business leaders dedicated to making the success of every child in PA a top priority. Community Connections for Children (CCC) is an Early Learning Resource Center, based in York County, that ensures families have access to high quality, affordable childcare.

This week is our annual Veteran’s Day meeting.  Our speaker, author Sandra Lee Kearse-Stockton, Lieutenant Colnel, retired, is a York native and a veteran of the U. S. Army, with 30 years to her credit. Her husband, Aaron, served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, and retired as a Technical Sergeant.
 
Her military journey was full of unpredictable situations, trials and tribulations but she endured. Her story is one of perseverance and success against the difficult backdrop of childhood abuse, teenage motherhood, and gun violence that took her grown son. Sandra promised herself that she would work until age 70 and then focus on "writing that book that she said she would write one day". Sandra published her first book in her trilogy, “480 Codorus Street, Surviving Unpredictability” at age 71, a year after she retired from her civilian job working with veterans.
 
She has been a mentor for countless people. With 17 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, she and her husband somehow found the time to foster over 100 children.  Sandra and Aaron wrote a book about their experience, titled "There Is Always Room For One More."
 
In May 2023, she was the recipient of the Four Chaplains Legion of Honor Award in York.
