One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Our Mission-

Our goal is to provide a group where women new to Lancaster County can make connections and flourish.

My Story-

I went for a pedicure and discovered that the kind lady providing the service moved to Lititz about 5 years ago. I told her I also moved to Ephrata 5 years ago and asked her how she was coping. She began to eloquently speak of her heart aches and frustrations at trying to form friendships. I instantly realized we had a connection only transplants could understand. I left her with teary eyes and a new idea to create a group where transplants could meet, learn about what this area has to offer and have the opportunity to make friendships with others who have the same unique needs. She said she was surviving but not thriving. I’m hoping our group, Transplants, can help change that for many women.

My goal is for us to meet for a weekly activity. In the fall the Ephrata Library will open a room for us to meet twice a week and advertise our group.

Great Expectations-

One of the common mistakes people make when moving to a new area is having very specific expectations of how things will work out and what their life will be like. Unfortunately, most of the time things don’t work out as expected. Unmet expectations -through no fault of your own- are a leading cause of why people end up disappointed with a relocation experience.

If you assess the deeper needs underlying your expectations, you can allow yourself to create  different ways of meeting them. Next week we will discuss a few of our unmet expectations and the deeper needs they are based on. New creative ways of making connections are so welcome!!!

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another:
