Cindy Phillips, executive director, invites all staff to attend her WHY meetings, so you can be informed about what is happening around our campus and to have your questions answered.

WHY Meetings

Nothing prepares a student for the future better than real world job experience. Masonic Village at Elizabethtown’s Environmental Services Department is teaming up with students from Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit (IU) 13 to assist them with practical job skills. IU 13’s Early Childhood & Special Education Services Student Worker Program helps young adults make a successful transition from school to productive adult life by providing community-based training in real work settings. Students learn self-determination and functional academics while developing employability, social and independent living skills. “It’s important for businesses and organizations to provide these opportunities because a lot of students will be entering these fields directly out of high school,” Will Betancourt, job trainer with IU 13, said. “They have the opportunity to see parts of the job they would not be able to learn in a classroom or a book.” This spring, a total of 40 students from Columbia and Palmyra High Schools will visit Masonic Village for training. Their IU 13 instructor and Melissa Retallack, environmental services systems coordinator, will accompany them as they learn housekeeping and laundry skills, infection control, communication skills, teamwork and much more in the Masonic Health Care Center. The students will also participate in mock job interviews. “Students will have the opportunity to get to know the position intimately, ask questions about the job, problem solve and feel a sense of accomplishment when they make progress,” Will said. For several years, Masonic Village has teamed up with IU 13 to offer internships and job experience. Students have interned with the Environmental Services and Food Services Departments, and some have joined the organization as part-time employees. “The students are excited to be here,” Melissa said. “It was heartfelt to see the smiles on their faces when they arrived, took pictures for their badge and held them with honor. They are eager to learn and to become part of the culture here at Masonic Village.” In 2016, to serve students across a variety of interests, Masonic Village also hosted interns in the Adult Daily Living Center and on the campus’ farm, as well as in the nutrition services, pharmacy, physical, occupational and speech therapy; social services; music therapy; and therapeutic recreation departments.

Welcome, Students!

Welcome, New Employees!

In order to facilitate the reservation of space for meetings, clubs and other events on

campus, the Event Planning Department (ext. 33151 or 33472) is now the sole point of contact for coordination of table/chairs set up, food ordering/catering and AV equipment. Staff

may continue to schedule their own meeting rooms if they do not need any assistance

with food, set-up or AV equipment. Please do not contact the Recreation or Food Services

Departments directly to request room reservations or catering. Food Services will remain the direct contact for ordering of special catered holiday

meals and food supplies only.
