NEWCOMERSTOWN – On Saturday, July 9 community members were treated to an ice cream social at Isleta United Methodist Church. The free event was quite popular with the public as the church’s basement was packed to the gills.
According to volunteer Don Border, “With this being our annual July ice cream social, we usually see a good turnout and we’re very fortunate for that because all the money that we bring in goes to our local charities.”
This particular ice cream social has been taking place for quite some time now as it began well before the 1970s and is still going strong to this day. At the end of the day, events such as these are ultimately aimed at strengthening the community and the relationships with its members; which is something that is very apparent with Border.
“I think people love this event because it gives them an excuse to come together and socialize with one another. If you walk through here and ask these people, most of them will tell you that they know at least one person here and that just goes to show how strong our community really is,” he said.
