Grove City Community Food
Pantry Board Member
Luke 6:38a says, “Give,
and it will be given to you;
good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and
running over...” This scrip-
ture is a promise, and the
board of the Grove City
Community Food Pantry has
seen it come true. Our move
from
Grace
United
Methodist Church to 114 S.
Center St., (formerly the
Hicks Office Supply store)
has far exceeded our expec-
tations.
Not only has the food
pantry accommodated many
new clients with its choice
pantry, but Thrifty Threads
(adjoining the pantry) is
serving the entire communi-
ty for needs
other than
food. We are
blessed with
not only a
g e n e r o u s ,
constant stream of donations
of new and gently used
clothing, household items
and small furniture, but with
pleasant customers and de-
voted volunteers.
Customers are surprised
by the range of items avail-
able, including TVs, mi-
crowaves, knick knacks,
wedding gowns with veils,
and a nice selection of
books. Our attractive window
display includes seasonal
clothing, toys and household
items. The items in the win-
dow are what initially draw
in many customers.
The cost of clothing is $2
per bag. New items, coats
and shoes are priced at $1 or
$2. Those making donations
are welcome to bring them
to the store when it is open.
We are always in need of
children’s clothing. Large do-
nations may be dropped off
at the ramp behind the store
by calling 724-4

etary financial products of its
own.
This allows the registered
representatives of Olde Hick-
ory Financial to recommend

wide array of diversified of-
ferings.

states, the Hermitage based
firm was founded by part-
ners Michael Wiseman and
Jack Kopen both Hermitage
residents.
David Wright, LPL Finan-
cial advisor, and Diane Gard-
ner LPL Financial advisor,
joined the firm in December
of 2010.

added both talent and ex-
pertise to the team at Olde

ing inde-
pendent financial advice,

sory format. The policy of of-
fering no-cost/no-obligation

goals is to help investors un-
derstand and manage their
investments in a casual non-
intimidating atmosphere.
The outlook for 2012 in-
cludes a continued emphasis
on individual clients and
businesses.

ness. Stocks, bonds, mutual

By Corinna Sweeny
Owner Sweeny Photography
Last year was a great year
for Sweeny Photography,
and they are looking forward
to an even better year in
2012. Last year, Shawn Swee-
ny received the Service
Award Medal from the Penn-
sylvania chapter of Profes-
sional Photographers of
America at the April Confer-
ence.
The medal was given to
Sweeny for service to the or-
ganization and to other pho-
tographers through educa-
tional seminars.
Sweeny has trained profes-
sional photographers in
Pennsylvania and New York,
and is always trying to give
back to the industry. He re-
cently spoke to students at
Westminster College during
AV Week.
“With my background in
education, teaching is so nat-
ural to me,
and it is so
rewarding to
be able to
help others in
photography
and
busi-
ness,”
he
said.
S w e e n y
has taught at
several universities through-
out his career, but he’s al-
ways come back to his true
passion of running his own
photography studio.
“Nothing is better than to
see a client’s face light up
when they see their portraits
and when parents get teary-
eyed when they see their
children’s images,” he said.
“It’s an emotional time, es-
pecially for the parents of
newborns because they’ve
just brought a new life into
the world, and high school
seniors because the parents
are realizing their baby is all
grown up.
I love my
job because
I get to
watch new-
borns be-
come children, then
teenagers, then adults. It’s
like being part of a hundred
different families.”
Because of the huge in-
crease of business over the
last few years, Sweeny Pho-
tography has outgrown its
studio on state Route 208
and is building a new one
nearby on state Route 258
South that will be opened in
the next few months.
“I can’t wait to be in the
new building, and our clients
are really excited to see it
also,” Sweeny said. “We
need a bigger studio area to
photograph larger families.
Our new space will be per-
fect to capture the intimate
image of a newborn with her
parents all the way up to 100
family members
