Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development—Endowment Challenge

We are all so fortunate to have a community treasure right here in Lancaster County in the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development that serves more than 4,000 children a year. Schreiber provides outpatient and in-home pediatric therapy services, including occupational, physical and speech-language therapy, for children birth to age 21. They also offer high-quality early education preschool and child care services, recreation programs, summer camps and specialized classes for parents.

The Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development is a nonprofit organization that offers the finest in innovative therapy, education and recreation resources for children, teens and young adults. Schreiber provides everything needed for all of life's challenges, so that families and children can reach their dreams and vision. Schreiber has the sees and develops every child's unique capabilities and helps them achieve their fullest potential.

I recently had the opportunity to tour Schreiber’s facilities and meet some of the children who come to Schreiber.

After I left Schreiber, I sat in my car and found myself sobbing, not tears of sadness or even joy; rather, tears of inspiration.  How could anyone not be inspired by these smiling faces and joy for life, no matter what the circumstances are?

Schreiber depends on all of us for community support in order to provide these services.  Atlee Hall is pleased to support Schreiber and we have made our contribution to Schreiber’s endowment fund to help set the table for long term financial stability for this community institution and help Schreiber serve more children and families in our community.

We are challenging other law firms, businesses and individuals to step up and help get Schreiber’s endowment fund to $1,000,000.00 by June 30, 2019 to help sustain Schreiber’s vision of enriching lives, giving hope for all who need Schreiber’s services everyday so that these children can reach the full potential and dreams.

Atlee Hall has made this donation to jump start the endowment drive and has committed to making the next donation to get the Schreiber endowment to the $1,000,000.00 mark, however, we need your help in getting there too!

So as a community lets all help Schreiber help more children and families.

Step up to the challenge now!

AP examines issues inhibiting autonomous vehicles.

An AP (2/4, Krisher, Writer) analysis regarding autonomous vehicles presents five “problems that researchers must overcome to start giving rides without humans behind the wheel.” One of these problems is approval on the part of consumers. According to the AP, a deadly crash involving an autonomous vehicle operated by Uber “rattled consumers who someday will be asked to ride in self-driving vehicles.” The AP says that surveys which were carried out following this incident “showed that drivers are reluctant to give up control to a computer.” A survey “by AAA found that 73 percent of American drivers would be too fearful to ride in a fully self-driving vehicle,” whereas that figure was “63 percent in late 2017.”
