Organizations Partner For Bike Millersville By Ann Mead Ash
Clara Ames, executive director of No Longer Alone Ministries (NLAM), knows a bit about the history of the event now called Bike Millersville. “(The ride) is 19 years running, but it hasn’t always had the same name,” noted Ames. “It used to be called the Dream Ride.” Ames added that the sponsoring organizations of the event have changed over the past two decades since the ride was first held. Bike Millersville will be held on Saturday, Sept. 15, at the Winter Visual and Performing Arts Center, Millersville University, 60 W. Cottage Ave., Millersville. The event will open for packet pickup at 6:30 a.m., and the ride will start at 7:30 a.m., weather permitting. The ride will be held rain or shine, but delays may be made in the case of fog or other hazardous conditions.
The ride will feature 5-, 20-, and 30-mile cycling tours and 1-, 2-, and 6.5-mile walking tours throughout the greater Millersville area. Rest stops featuring fruit, water, and snack foods will be located along the routes. The stops will also offer bike support. “There are a number of area bike shops that have partnered with (volunteers from) each of the nonprofits to sponsor the rest stops,” explained Ames. The organizations that have partnered to present this year’s ride include NLAM, which is an organization that offers mobile psychiatric rehabilitation services and facilitates faith-based support groups for the purpose of strengthening individuals and families touched by mental illness, and Faith Friendship Ministries of Mountville, which provides residential care and housing, along with shared independent living situations for local See Bike Millersville pg 4

A celebration of the 10th anniversary of Daniel’s Den Playground will be held on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 4 p.m. in the Manor Church Community Park, which is located next to Manor Church, 530 Central Manor Road, Lancaster. The event will include complimentary cake and ice cream as well as plenty of time to play. The vision for a playground accessible to children of all abilities was introduced by church member Denise Haldeman in late 2006. Haldeman’s young son, Daniel, used a wheelchair, and she wanted to ensure that he and other children like him would have an inclusive place to play. After more than a year of fundraising and planning, Build Week took place in April 2008, and the playground officially opened in September 2008. “Witnessing God’s hand during Build See Daniel’s Den pg 7
