September is a big month for the Conestoga River Girl Scouts. T he or ganiz at ion, w hich includes a total of approximately 250 girls from Penn Manor, Lancaster city, and Hempfield from kindergarten through 12th grade, will hold a recruitment event and a fundraiser. The recruitment event will be held Sunday, Sept. 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Strickler Pavilion in Manor Township Community Park, 2670 Charlestown Road, Lancaster. The Conestoga River Girl Scouts are part of the GSHPA, which stands for Girl Scouts Heart of Pennsylvania. “They’re really encouraging service units to do recruitment events to get girls signed up to expose them to girl Scouting,” said Beth Valentin, the events coordinator for the service unit. “We said this year we have capacity, and we would like to do that, so we’re going for it. We don’t always have a service unit-wide recruitment event that any girl can come to. I think we have a little bit more volunteer support for events, and we want to get girls signed up.” Valentin stated that the event is designed to “give girls a taste of what Scouting can be.” There will be s’mores, and girls will be introduced to the tradition known as SWAPS (Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere), where Scouts can make, swap, and collect items. Valentin, who has also served as a troop leader, touts the benefits of Scouting. “It’s fun. It’s like an instant group of friends,” See Girl Scouts pg 2

Conestoga River Girl Scouts Will Hold Two Events BY GEORGE DEIBEL
rior to the middle of May, Chris Roe had not pedaled a bike for 10 years. Two and a half months later, Roe rode a US... WITH total EL AV of 560 miles in eight days. TR COME And it was all for a good cause. The Landisville native, who is a senior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, N.Y., trekked from Buffalo to Albany to New York City from Aug. 3 to 10. Roe was joined by brothers in the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity from New York, Texas, Florida, and North Carolina. It was part of a series of rides designed to raise awareness and money for people with disabilities. He spent two and a half months training on the Riverside Trail, and the effort was certainly worth it. Roe raised more than $5,300, the fifth-largest total among all the riders, and the group generated more than $120,000. Roe’s motivation is his 14-year-old sister, Phoebe, who has Down syndrome. “I’ve always liked giving back to the community, and it’s something me and my family believe in,” said Roe, a graduate of Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia. “It was one of the reasons I joined Pi Kappa Phi. The bike ride part and doing the visits to different organizations was kind of like a logical step.” R118382
