Second Family Travel Fair Planned By Ann Mead Ash

“Annually, the U.S. Travel Association says 705 million vacation days are left unused. That is a lot,” said Wendy Royal, editor of Where & When Pennsylvania and an organizer of the second PA Family Travel Fair. “For people who live in Pennsylvania, there is so much to do within a short distance. Everyone recognizes Philly and Pittsburgh, but there is so much in the middle people aren’t aware of,” noted Royal. Following the success of the first fair in spring 2018, Royal has lined up exhibitors, along with amusements for children, food for purchase, and opportunities to win prizes, for the second free event, which will be held at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster, on Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In 2018, Royal noted that much of the state would be represented in some way at the fair, but this year, she promises even more. “We will have a lot of new exhibitors,” said Royal, noting that most of last year’s exhibitors will be returning. New this year, will be Sesame Place, Elk Country Visitors Center, and the Little League Museum.

Celebrating 40 Years Of Faith By Ann Mead Ash

During the 40th anniversary celebration of Bible2School held on March 28 at the Eden Resort, a video interview with Hazel Nestleroth, one of the founding members of the program, was shown. “(Nestleroth) talked about the heart behind starting a program like this to reach out to students,” said Stephanie Smith, assistant director of Bible2School. In 1979, Section 1546 of the Pennsylvania School Code was amended to allow children to be released from public school for religious training of their choice. The Manheim Ministerium responded by organizing Weekday See Bible2School pg 2

Students greeted guests at the 40th anniversary celebration of Bible2School, a released time effort first founded in Manheim, which through its membership affiliation program has spread to several county locations and even out of state.

Sunrise Rotary Will Hold 16th Annual Ride For Literacy By Ann Mead Ash

For the past two years, the Lancaster Sunrise Rotary has struggled with wet weather on the days the organization held its annual Ride for Literacy. In 2017, a downpour interrupted the ride, and in 2018, the day started rainy, but cleared up later on. The lack of sun in recent years, however, has not deterred club members. “Our target is 150 riders,” said organizer Steve Bareuther. This year’s ride will be held rain or shine on Saturday, May 11, beginning See Ride For Literacy pg 7

Members of the Sunrise Rotary Club are looking forward to the 16th annual Ride for Literacy, which will be held rain or shine on May 11 beginning at the Manheim Township Community Park in Neffsville.
