The Cycle Of Supporting: Hogs And Heroes To Host Bike-A-Thon BY COURTNEY MENGEL

he Hogs and Heroes Foundation Inc. Pennsylvania Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 Juniors will hold its first Juniors Bike-a-thon. Hogs and Heroes is a national foundation with the mission to sponsor and fundraise for the United States military and first responders. Proceeds from the event will benefit Angels of America’s Fallen, a nonprofit organization that encourages and funds activities for the children of fallen firefighters, military personnel, and members of law enforcement. Between grief counseling, scholarships, and more, Angels of America’s Fallen supports the children all year, every year until adulthood. There will be two opportunities to attend the Bike-a-thon. The first Bikea-thon will occur on Saturday, June 19, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Amos Herr Park, 1700 Nissley Road, Landisville. The second Bike-athon will take place on Sunday, June 20, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Cousler Park, 1060 Church Road, York. Both bike routes will be on walking trails, which are closed off to vehicular traffic. During the event, participants will ride for an hour to raise money. Anyone under the age of 18 can participate in the Bike-a-thon, and the public is encouraged to attend. Participants are required to wear their own helmets and bring their own bicycles. There will be same-day registration, but preregistration can be completed online at http://bit.ly/junior bikeathon. Participants will receive T-shirts, and prizes will be awarded for the most laps completed and the most money raised. “This is a great chance to get out, be active, and for people to meet the Hogs and Heroes family because that’s what we are … a family,” stated Theresa Draeger, Pennsylvania state IT officer for the Hogs and Heroes Foundation. Sponsorships are available. For more information about Hogs and Heroes, visit www.hogsheroes foundation.com.

The Lancaster Hempfield Rotary Club was joined by Boy Scouts from Troop 267 in Silver Spring on May 15 to perform a service project under the direction of West Hempfield Township officials. The project, funded jointly by the Rotary Club and a grant from Rotary District 7390, sought to discourage the practice of putting hazardous waste into storm water drains in residential areas. Six Rotary Club members joined several Scouts and Scout leaders to install 150 storm water drain markers bearing the slogan “Only rain should go down the drain.” Markers were installed in areas within the watersheds of the Little Conestoga Creek, Strickler Run, and Chiques Creek. In addition, grant money was used to install dog waste stations at Murry Park and the township office property. See Rotary Club pg 3
