Lace Up For Orphans Brittany’s Hope Walk Of Love Set For Sept. 15 By Chelsea Peifer

The team members of Brittany’s Hope are thrilled to have an honored guest who has traveled all the way from Texas to train for and attend the 14th annual Walk of Love Cross Country 5K and Fun Walk on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Stone Gables Estate, 1 Hollinger Lane, Elizabethtown. Dolly, one of the newest miniature ponies to reside in the Shepherd’s Staff Petting Zoo at the Star Barn Village at Stone Gables Estate, has already begun training with caretaker and international award-winning trainer Carl O’Callaghan. Dolly will run the 5K

race pulling a cart with her trainer on board to help raise funds for Brittany’s Hope. “Dolly trains five days a week, so she’s pretty fit. We’re very fortunate because we’re here, so we can do the course a few times before the event,” O’Callaghan said. Brittany’s Hope is an Elizabethtown-based nonprofit organization committed to aiding orphans in crisis and helping special needs children to be adopted into forever families. Brittany’s Hope provides grants to families that are in the process of adopting and has implemented programs in Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Kenya that provide holistic care directly to orphans. Mai-Lynn Sahd, executive director of Brittany’s Hope, said that the organization has set a fundraising goal of $65,000 for

this year’s event. That amount would enable Brittany’s Hope to provide adoption grants for seven children with special needs or help with the construction of a muchneeded living residence for up to 28 orphaned children with disabilities in a rural and remote area of northern Vietnam. Sahd said the new residence will provide safe, modern, clean living space and bedrooms and feature adaptive furniture and bathrooms to enable the children to gain independence. A physical therapy room and common area for the children are also planned, and the residence will be staffed by trained professionals who can provide 24/7 medical care and help the youths to develop basic living skills. The Walk of Love, a fun-filled, family-friendly event, will begin at See Walk Of Love pg 4

Main Street Mount Joy Welcomes New Executive Director By Chelsea Peifer

Having grown up in Harrisburg, pastor Robert M. Lescallette has been familiar with the name “Cameron” for as long as he can remember. “My grandparents lived on Cameron Street, and Simon Cameron is buried near their house,” Lescallette said. As pastor at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Maytown, Lescallette has lived in the brick parsonage that was deeded to the church by none other than Cameron himself. On Sunday, Aug. 12, Lescallette will share his research on and knowledge of Cameron at a Marietta Town Talk titled “Simon Cameron: Much More See Town Talk pg 2

In July, Main Street Mount Joy (MSMJ) welcomed Dave Schell as its new executive director. While the position may be new to him, serving the Mount Joy community has been a staple of Schell’s life since moving to the area a few decades ago, and area residents will likely recognize his face. “I’ve been interested in the economic development and success of Mount Joy for about 20 years,” shared Schell, who served on the MSMJ board for several years - most recently as vice president. MSMJ is a charitable organization focused on downtown revitalization and funded by the Mount Joy Borough, See MSMJ pg 7

In July, Dave Schell transitioned from serving as vice president of the Main Street Mount Joy board to becoming the organization’s new executive director.
