Library To Celebrate 50th With Jubilee
BY ANN MEAD ASH
“(The Intercourse Library) started in 1975 in the little schoolhouse,” stated Catherine O’Sullivan, director of the Intercourse Library, of the history of the organization. The schoolhouse O’Sullivan spoke of is still located at the corner of Route 340 and Evergreen Street in Intercourse.
In 2007, the library moved to its present location at 31 Center St., Intercourse, and that will be the setting for the organization’s Golden Jubilee, which will celebrate the 50th anniversary. The event, which will feature wine tasting, hearty hors d’oeuvres, and desserts, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. A silent auction, including a number of items, and live music will be part of the event.
The Jubilee recalls an annual

“Our mission is to help every person be able to take steps toward their First Choice (Career Path),” said Jared Erb, First Choice Career Center coordinator with Pequea Valley High School (PVHS).
“There’s this notion about a destination, and once you get there, you have reached your first choice,” said Erb. “(But) I think this is a direction rather than a destination.”
That mission has led Erb to gather 64 mentors from the surrounding business community to work with current junior class members at PVHS. Beginning in September, students and mentors will meet monthly for breakfast and follow a specific plan to

Matt Dorgan took heartbreak and turned it into hope and healing. On Dec. 3, 2020, his 15-year-old daughter, Brianna, died by suicide after a long struggle with mental health.
“Her passing shook us to our core,” he said, noting that close friends rallied around him but he knew he could not just simply

help students prepare for their senior year and career choices beyond. “Our first meeting, we will talk about our strengths and getting to know each other in a professional way,” said Erb, who added that students have been working on their CliftonStrengths assessments since shortly after school began. CliftonStrengths, which is owned by Gallup, is designed to help students discover their inherent personal strengths. “Research says that when we are focusing on what we’re good at, we will be more successful and fulfilled,” explained Erb. “We are trying to help our learners become more well versed in what their strengths are so they can present themselves in a professional manner.”
During the October breakfast, students will learn how to present their strengths to a prospective employer by practicing the elevator pitch. “During the elevator pitch, you introduce yourself and give a quick synopsis and what you’re trying to accomplish for the future,” said Erb, who added that students will also practice making a professional phone call, first with a script and later on their own.
At the November breakfast, the student and mentor will discuss “resumé building and incorporating strengths into resumé.” They will also talk with mentors about how to present themselves in an interview.
In the December meeting, students will actually take part in a mock interview and learn a few interviewing strategies.
Erb described the learning atmosphere as relaxed. “We eat while we work and connect,” he said, noting that previous mentoring programs utilized a more intense two-hour session with presentations. “The mentors (told us), ‘We just want to connect with kids in a less formal setting,’” said Erb of the less formal breakfasts to be held this year.
In February, Erb organizes a job fair where students will have the opportunity to meet business representatives from throughout the area and practice the skills they learned over the fall.
“In March, we do a job shadow day,” said Erb, who coordinates a one-day event where all PVHS juniors visit area businesses. “I send 13 groups to three stops each,” said Erb, who connects with area entities in the fields of health care, education, business, transportation, the military, and more. “We align it with (each student’s) first choice using the MyPlanPA system that tracks all their career

move on. “As we shared our grief, we realized a painful truth: Every one of us had lost someone we loved to mental illness. And now, we had lost Brianna. We knew something had to change. We had to do something.”
In those first raw moments of heartbreak, the idea for a mental health festival was born, he recalled.
“We wanted to raise money, yes, but more than that, we wanted to raise awareness and build a real support network for those in crisis,” Dorgan shared. “Then came the words that changed everything: ‘We need to build the bridge.’ And just as quickly, someone shouted back, ‘For Brianna!’”
Just weeks after Brianna’s death, on Dec. 27, 2020, Building Bridges for Brianna began.
“Since that day, we’ve been committed to knocking down barriers to mental health care,” Dorgan explained. “When we see a wall in services, we don’t walk away. We find a way over it, around it, under it or straight through it.”
Describing his daughter, Dorgan noted that he could talk forever.
“Brianna was an incredible soul - kind, compassionate and full of love for people and animals alike,” he remarked.
Born in Key West, Fla., Brianna soon demonstrated a desire to help others, Dorgan said, sharing stories of Brianna’s giving spirit.
A passionate animal lover, Brianna constantly lobbied to turn her home into a zoo, her father joked, noting that she wanted a monkey or a pig as a pet but happily settled for a pet dog, Emma, who she brought home just one week before her death.
An eighth-grader at Dallastown Area School District when she died, Brianna had a close-knit group of friends.
While cleaning her room after she passed, Dorgan found a simple white T-shirt with a powerful message: “Keep Fight;ing! I Believe in You You are a Star.” The semicolon and phrasing were exactly how Brianna wrote it, he said.
“That message - raw, honest and filled with hope - has become the motto of Building Bridges for Brianna,” Dorgan commented. “It speaks not just to who Brianna was, but to the mission she unknowingly helped create: to remind people that they are not alone and they are worthy of love, support and healing.”
Building Bridges for Brianna, which serves all of Pennsylvania, held its first mental health festival in June of 2021. More than 1,500 people attended. Dorgan remembers open

conversations about mental health and organizations completing realtime intakes and scheduling therapy sessions on the spot.
“That night, I spent nearly two hours answering emails, messages and phone calls from people thanking us for creating a space like that,” he said. “That was the moment we knew this couldn’t be just one event. It had to become a movement.”
The organization soon became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and began paying for co-pays; providing coping tools; offering Question, Persuade, Refer prevention training; and speaking publicly about mental health. Still, Dorgan always believed he could do more.
In its third year, the organization received a donation that helped to open the first office, hire licensed social workers and therapists and offer free or reduced-cost mental health care. Within six months, the organization had outgrown the space.
Moving into a much larger
office, the organization continued to grow.
“Since opening the new center, we’ve helped more than 400 people in our community get the mental health support they need,” Dorgan said of the headquarters located in Dallastown.
Dorgan, who works full time as a probation officer for the County of York in addition to running the nonprofit, emphasized the organization works hard to provide care quickly, eliminating the red tape that can cause months-long delays via traditional routes to help.
Community support is needed in a variety of ways, from donating funds to volunteering, attending events or simply being there for someone who’s struggling.
The organization’s signature event, the Bridge Building Festival, is held every September in honor of Suicide Prevention Month. This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20, at Dallastown
Community Park, 50 S. School Place.
“What started in 2021 with 35 vendors and 1,500 attendees has grown into a vibrant, communitypowered event with over 100 vendors and more than 5,000 attendees,” Dorgan said. “The festival includes music, food trucks, local vendors, mental health organizations and a powerful sense of shared purpose.”
Also every September, the organization leads a Purple Light Campaign to raise awareness of suicide prevention, encouraging people to change their outdoor lights to purple ones to reflect one of the movement’s official colors.
Although the festival is the organization’s biggest event, Dorgan emphasized that the nonprofit works year-round to promote positive mental health.
“Mental health isn’t a one-time conversation. It’s an everyday commitment. And we’re here, yearround, building the bridge between
pain and healing, isolation and community, hopelessness and hope,” Dorgan said. “Brianna’s legacy is the bridge we’re building: one that connects people to the help, hope and healing they deserve.”

planning,” said Erb, who called the software “a handy tool for this type of work.”
Students will have another chance to meet with their mentors following the job shadow day. Erb said the mentors and mentees will then discuss the steps a student can take in his or her senior year to invest wisely in a specific direction. “That helps me start planning their senior year early,” said Erb, who shared the story of current senior Emanuel Tarango, who was part of both the PVHS Mentor Program and the Lancaster Chamber Program.
“Tarango became interested in the building trades,” said Erb. “He wanted to get involved in construction during his senior year, but he had only a little bit of experience in landscaping,” recalled Erb, who connected the student with Smoker Door Sales in Gap. Erb had placed Evan Hershey with the company as an intern a few years ago. Over the summer, between Tarango’s junior and senior year, Hershey trained him. As a PVHS senior, Tarango is working nearly full time at Smoker Door, while taking two online high school classes.
“(That’s) a result of spending time talking it through and being part of the mentor program and figuring out what he wanted to do,” stated Erb. “We explored a lot of options, and this one became his favorite. It’s a win, win, win,” said Erb, who added that Tarango is getting started with his future career while still in school. “It’s very cool,” he said.
Erb’s position at the career center, which he has held full time since 2021, involves running all kinds of work-based internships and credentialing, along with the mentor program, job shadowing, and more. “We are trying to connect kids to opportunities,” said Erb. “It’s difficult to get every kid out (to a company). (The mentor program) brings companies here in a more casual setting.” Erb added that building relationships with community members is a special piece of the equation. “Our learners have an opportunity to hear local professional stories and open their minds to what is possible in Lancaster (County),” he said.
According to Erb, a student’s progress toward his or her career choice may be stymied when the number of options becomes
overwhelming. “Don’t be a parked car,” Erb warned. “We try to have each kid try a direction on,” he said. “Choose a direction to travel for a bit. We can all change our minds at any given time.”
Once a student starts traveling in a certain direction, he or she can develop character and gain skills. “Skills can be trained but character is earned,” explained Erb. “(A student is) developing your character through who you are and picking up strengths along the way.” He pointed out that students learn customer service skills, teamwork skills, and hard work skills by having working experiences. “It’s not that (a student) will do (that job) the rest of (his or her) life, but these are skills they can take with them. We want kids engaged and finding the value in each and every journey.”
Erb acknowledged the importance of mentors and other community members in the process. “It takes a village to raise the valley,” he said.
