Chris and Melanie Wiesman's love story began serendipitously on Saint Patrick's Day in 2011 when unbeknownst to each other, they both ended up at the same Irish pub in Ft Lauderdale, FL. Discovering they were law students at Nova Southeastern University, though in different areas of campus, they connected and eventually moved to Dallas, TX, to pursue their legal careers. In 2018, the couple relocated to York, PA, where Chris joined the family business, HR Pharmaceuticals. The Wiesmans now reside in Wyndham Hills with their children, Kennedy and Grant, sharing a love for family dinners, beach vacations, and ski trips. Melanie runs her own law firm, specializing in criminal defense, while Chris is the Chief Revenue Officer and General Counsel at HR Pharmaceuticals. Their transition from big city life to small-town York involved adjustments, but they've found comfort in the community, savoring local favorites like Revival, Rockfish, Tutonis, and The Cove, and are grateful for the friends who have become like family in their new hometown.

Erin and Dan, happily married for a decade, first crossed paths when a mutual friend introduced them after college. Their initial meeting at Corner Stables, a crowded York bar, sparked an unconventional courtship, with Erin initially unimpressed by Dan's persistent pursuit. Their first date at the White Rose in York and a subsequent rib-centric dinner in Lancaster set the stage for a relationship filled with memorable moments, including a chilly first kiss on Erin's parents' deck. The couple eventually got engaged in Central Park, a city they fondly call "theirs." Married on the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, they recall a hot, sunny day turned rainy during the ceremony, making for a memorable celebration. Through trials, including Erin's mother's battle with pancreatic cancer early in their relationship, Erin and Dan found strength in each other and grew even closer. Now parents to Jack and Evelyn, the couple cherishes travel, particularly to the Outer Banks, as some of their happiest memories. Looking ahead, they eagerly anticipate more adventures as a family and hope to raise kind, strong individuals who contribute positively to the world.

Wyndham Hills, a community with a rich history dating back to 1929, stands as a testament to the vision of Carey Etnier and the design principles of the Olmsted Brothers firm. F. L. Olmsted Jr., influenced by his father's legacy in landscape architecture, shaped Wyndham Hills to harmonize with the natural topography, creating gently curving streets that gracefully blend with the surroundings. In 2021, the Wyndham Hills Homeowners Association embarked on a revitalization project for the Country Club Rd entrance, collaborating with local landscape contractor Hively Landscapes. The renovation involved replacing failing trees, rejuvenating English ivy beds, and introducing a mix of native and common plant materials. Native Redbud trees, Phlox, Salvia, and Fire Light hydrangeas now adorn the landscape, while Hicks and English weeping yews add a touch of formality. This thoughtful redesign not only enhances the community's aesthetics but also serves as a long-term, low-maintenance anchor at the entrance, inviting residents and visitors to appreciate the enduring charm of Wyndham Hills.

One year ago, the Susquehanna Scarlet Hearts, a dedicated group of local women, launched a nine-week campaign to raise awareness about heart disease in women and generate funds for the American Heart Association (AHA). Through a series of heart-healthy initiatives and engaging events at local establishments such as The Cantina York, Aviano’s Trattoria, and One Boutique Hotel, the Scarlet Hearts not only promoted a healthy lifestyle but also supported the AHA while contributing to the local business community. Their efforts were rewarded when, on April 14th, 2022, the Scarlet Hearts were declared the winners of the 2022 Go Red Woman of Impact Campaign, having raised an impressive $21,487 in just nine weeks and earning the title for the entire state of Pennsylvania. Molly Halbert, a prominent figure in the campaign, emphasized that the initiative went beyond its goal of raising awareness, fostering a strong community where lasting friendships were formed, connections were made, and mutual support thrived. Although the official campaign concluded in nine weeks, the Scarlet Hearts remain committed to supporting the AHA and promoting heart-healthy living. They actively share their learnings and tips, even involving their children in the mission to instill the importance of giving back and maintaining a healthy lifestyle from a young age. The Scarlet Hearts advocate for outdoor activities, movement, gardening, social connections, and early detection as key components of heart health, encouraging everyone to visit www.heart.org for additional tips and information. The team includes Molly Halbert, Dr. Rachel Lattanzio, Erin Doutrich, Katherine Bobincheck, and Melanie Wiesman, showcasing a collective dedication to building a healthier, more community-driven future.
