In September 2011, Tropical Storm Lee caused local

streams, creeks, and rivers to rise to record levels in

Lancaster County, Pa. The storm caused hundreds of

thousands of dollars in flood-related damage.

Shannon Flowers, a long-time Fox Chapel

Publishing employee and the editor of

Woodcarving

Illustrated

magazine, fled her home as flood waters

rose through the basement and three feet high on

the main level. Her family lost everything on those

two floors. They have spent many months renovating

their home and recovering a sense of normalcy.

In response, Fox Chapel Publishing sold Grab-

Bags of books and donated 100% of the proceeds to

Shannon and the fire department in Mount Joy, Pa.

The benefit raised $7,166.40. The fire department

donated its share of the proceeds to Shannon and her family.

Our thanks to all of the readers who responded to the benefit

and helped Shannon and her family rebuild.

[Ed. Note: Due to the timing, the Grab-Bags were

only offered via our website. Sign up for our e-newsletter
