No Town Celebrates 4th of July Like Lititz

BY JEFF FALK

Each annual 4th of July celebration at Lititz Springs Park is better than the one that preceded it. This year’s patriotic community event commemorating our country’s 250th birthday may be the best local 4th of July celebration ever.

“There is that pressure to outdo what you did last year,” said Kellye Martin, who’s been the chair of the Lititz Springs Park board’s 4th of July committee for nine years.

Fostering Petsa Chance to Be Part of the Journey

BY ANN MEAD ASH

Anne Hendricks, outreach coordinator with All 4 Paws Rescue, a nonprofit, fosterbased, all-breed organization located in Malvern, is familiar with the most common excuse potential pet foster parents give. “They all say, ‘I could never foster because I would want to adopt them all,’” noted Hendricks, who has fostered more than 100 dogs over nine years. “We have all foster-failed at least once,” she added, referring to a foster dog she knew she would be keeping within the first 24 hours of fostering her.

“But people do like the simplicity of it. We try to think of something new to add, but it’s not necessarily modern. Newer or different doesn’t always mean modern.

“We’ve had this date in mind

for years,” added Martin. “We also know we have a great celebration established. We wanted to keep what people were expecting of us

and add a couple of new things.”

Rachel Eberly is finished with her schooling for now, but her evolution as a person continues. The Lancaster Inferno provides her with an opportunity for continued self-exploration through soccer, a game she has always played.

“I have evolved tremendously as both a player and a person through soccer,” said Eberly. “I

credit much of my confidence and my maturity to Lancaster Inferno. From starting with the club at 17 years old to now entering my fifth season, I have changed immensely over the years. Soccer has taught me how important it is to show up fully in everything you do. Your effort impacts everyone around you, including those watching. The game has also taught me valuable lessons about connection

According to Kisha Reinmiller, site director for Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center, many who foster do become adoptive pet parents. “We are always recruiting new fosters,” she shared. “A lot of them adopt for the first time.”

Both organizations reported that becoming a foster parent for an animal is not complicated. The Lancaster Center application can be found online at www.pspca .org, and the All 4 Paws application is at www.all4pawsrescue .com. Representatives of both organizations noted that the foster application is similar to the adoption application. “We process (the applications), and then we reach out,” said Reinmiller. Hendricks pointed out that for potential fosters who already have pets, contacting the applicant’s vet is a crucial step. “We talk to the vet to be sure (the applicant’s) pets have been well taken care of,” she stated.

4th of July

at noon on Saturday, July 4, at the park at 24 N. Broad St. But the official 4th of July celebration will be preceded by a week of local patriotic events, leading up to the yearly Lions Club parade through town beginning at 11 a.m. on July 4 - not to mention the annual blanket race for prime fireworks viewing spots at 7 a.m. on that day.

“We just hope people have a great time,” said Martin. “We hope they make a memory at some point throughout the day, a moment they will take with them. That’s what we do it for.”

games and barrel train rides inside the kids’ zone; and traditional events like the pie eating contest, the baby parade, the DJ dance party and the queen of candles ceremony. The park board’s 35-minute fireworks display set to a musical soundtrack will shoot off at 9:30 p.m.

More than 26 food vendors, including food trucks, will be on hand on that special day.

More than 13,000 individuals - mostly from the Lititz area - are expected to attend the Lititz Springs Park’s 4th of July celebration. It takes more than 200 volunteers to stage the event, from planning, which begins in September, to post-celebration cleanup.

“They are people who love Lititz,” said Martin. “They are people who love this event. They are people who enjoy working next to their neighbors. They’re almost all local. I’m so thankful we have volunteers who want to be a part of this event. They make this event happen.”

We encourage local nonprofit groups, schools, churches, and others to submit news releases.

For 10 afternoon and evening hours, more than 24 smaller events and activities will be staged within the grassy confines of Lititz Springs Park on the 4th of July. They will include everything from four entertainment acts at the band shell; five activities like carnival

There are fees associated with entrance to the holiday festivities at Lititz Springs Park. The event is being sponsored by more than 35 businesses and organizations.

“Our fireworks are so great,” said Martin, a resident of Warwick Township. “But the candle lighting is my favorite part. There’s something about candle lighting over water that takes your breath away. It’s kind of like the pinnacle of the day.”

Members of the Lititz Springs Park board are seeking to realize about $100,000 from the 4th of July celebration.

Much has changed since Independence Day was first celebrated in Lititz Springs Park in the early 1800s. But the patriotic community event has stayed true to its original purpose.

“I think the goals now are similar to the first ones, to raise money for the park,” said Martin. “Back then, they had plans to make the stream what it is today. From what I’ve read, the goal was to bring the community together, and we definitely have the same goal. I think a lot of those things ring true today.”

“The funds generally put us in a pretty good position for the year,” said Martin. “There’s also a goal of keeping the tradition going. The proceeds go toward paying the salaries of the grounds crew, maintenance, repair and special projects like painting, paving and walkways. We have a wish list. We always hope there’s something left over so we can do something nice.”

The Patriotic Cruisers

BY LOGAN MOYER

It’s a patriotic year for the Lancaster County Cruisers.

The group, which holds its annual car show on the first Saturday of July every year, will present this year’s show on Saturday, July 4, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 Willow Street Pike North, Willow Street.

No registration is needed for the 26th annual show.

Anyone wishing to participate can bring their cars, trucks and motorcycles.

There is a fee to take part; the event will be held rain or shine. More than 20 trophies will be awarded, and the first 200 participants will receive a dash plaque.

Because of the event’s schedule, this year will not be the first time that it has been held over the holiday. Club member Judy Andrews said that she does not expect to lose attendees with the holiday weekend.

“It’s done by 2:00, so people still have time to go on and do fireworks and picnics,” she said.

The Cruisers will have T-shirts available for purchase at the show. There will also be door prizes available. For food, there will be breakfast, hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages available. Lemonade, as well as the Mocha Motion Coffee truck, will be available for drinks. There will also be a DJ, who will mix in some patriotic tunes to match the occasion.

One big advantage that the Cruisers have over other summer car shows is the pavilion at the fire company.

“I’ve been to lots of car shows, and Judy has too,” said club member Christine Weir, who noted that club

members can also gives attendees rides from the parking area to the center of the field. “When it’s July or August, it’s hotter than blazes. You get your food and you’re in the sun; it’s hot. We actually have a pavilion in the shade, which is really nice.”

Hogs and Heroes Foundation, a community of motorcycle riders who support military causes, will have a stand.

Those attending the car show are asked to bring nonperishable canned goods to support the food pantry at the Willow Street United Church of Christ (UCC).

Proceeds from the registration fees and bake sale will be donated to Solanco Neighborhood Ministries, Hope’s Haven, Building Bridges, and Willow Street UCC.

The weather was not great for last year’s show, but the event still pulled in around 350 vehicles. Weir said that the show typically pulls in around 300 to 400 vehicles, depending on weather and when the event falls on the calendar.

“We’ve always lucked out pretty good with the weather,” Andrews said. “That’s why we started doing it rain or shine,

Gospel Quartet to Perform

The Singing Servants Quartet will present an evening of gospel music at Fairmount in Ephrata on Tuesday, July 14, at 6:30 p.m. The outdoor concert will be held on the Wheat Ridge campus, located at 333 Wheat Ridge Drive on the west side of Fairmount’s grounds.

The quartet is composed of four friends brought together by a shared love of singing. The group has performed for many audiences throughout the region and has recorded

two CDs.

The concert is open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be rescheduled for Thursday, July 16. If weather conditions persist, the performance will be moved indoors to the Farm Crest Community Room. For more information about Fairmount, call 717354-1800 or visit www.fair mounthomes.org.

because it’s too confusing for the food vendors to come when they have stuff the next day, then they can’t come.”

The club has been in existence since 1994. It meets on the second Sunday of every month at 6 p.m. at Willow Street UCC, 2723 Willow Street Pike North, Willow Street. Everyone is welcome to attend, even if they do not own a classic or antique car.

“We just like the people that are in it,” Andrews said. Weir added that the club is looking for new members to come to the show and to bring their significant other.

The club’s other major events include an annual Christmas party; outings to local restaurants; and trips to the Morgantown Auto Mall, located right on the border between Lancaster, Chester and Berks counties.

CAVOD Camps Are Cures for Summertime Blues

BY JEFF FALK

The summer months afford students an opportunity to take breaks from classroom studies.

But kids want to be active. Kids want to learn in other ways. Kids want to explore themselves.

At CAVOD Performing Arts’ creative and inspiring summer camps, all of those discoveries are in play.

“Our mission is to create with purpose,” said Connie Dienner, the founder of CAVOD Performing Arts and the organization’s executive director for the past 22 years. “We want the children to have fun and express themselves. I think they’ll get an opportunity to explore and discover things in the arts.”

CAVOD Performing Arts, which is headquartered at 665 W. Main St., New Holland, is again offering five summer camps for students interested in dancing, singing, acting and creating. CAVOD’s weeklong instructional camps, which will be offered throughout the month of July, are designed to promote social skills, nurture growth and provide deeper messages.

All of the summer camps will provide snacks and feature closing programs that are open to parents, relatives and friends. There are costs involved with CAVOD’s camps.

“Each are a little different,” said Dienner. “It’s really a great time to come out, have fun and make

new friends. Everyone is valued and accepted. Everyone feels they have a place. The studios are decorated beautifully.”

CAVOD’s first summer camp, titled “Once Upon a Kingdom,” will be staged from Monday, July 6, through Friday, July 10, in New Holland. Designed to nurture a love for dance, the immersive instruction will be offered for 3- to 6-year-olds from 9 a.m. to noon and for 7- to 12-yearolds from 1 to 5 p.m.

Between 9 a.m. and noon from Monday, July 13, to Friday, July 17, CAVOD Performing Arts will present “Beautifully and Wonderfully Made,” a camp for little dancers from ages 3 to 8 at its Manheim location, 1223 Lancaster Road, Suite 115. That same week, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in New Holland, CAVOD’s “Camp Create” will serve teenagers and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

Summer at CAVOD will conclude with its “Summer Dance Intensive” camp from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday, July 27, through Friday, July 31, in New Holland. The developmental camp designed for

dancers ages 10 and older will take campers’ skills to a new level through instruction from teachers and guest artists.

“They’re kids who have found out about us,” said Dienner, a resident of Leola. “Some have taken classes before; some are brand new to the arts. They’re just discovering, ‘This is so fun. I’ve never done this before. Why is this only one week?’ It gives them an opportunity to figure things out; then they put on a program.”

CAVOD’s summer camps will be led by 10 certified instructors and volunteers who are just as supportive as they are knowledgeable.

“The main thing is they’re very skilled and they know how to encourage children and teens, and it brings confidence,” said Dienner. “That’s another thing that comes out of camps, confidence. Our teachers believe in the young people.

“We want students to learn the importance of their classmates, how to value each one. How to be friends,” continued Dienner. “We want them to know they are important. We want them to discover

where their gifts are. I love the kids in the hallways, talking and experiencing themselves. There’s so much positivity.”

The summer camps were one of the first programs established when Dienner founded CAVOD in 2004. CAVOD conducts more than 100 singing, dancing, acting and creative classes for kids, teenagers and adults throughout the year; stages a number of public performances inside of its New Holland theater annually; and offers private lessons, all the while praising and serving God.

“Since we were founded, the community itself has grown,” said Dienner. “(CAVOD) has become a community. It’s become a home, a place for those interested in the arts. I think the summer camps really open the door to new people to discover what we’re all about.”

CAVOD Performing Arts will also be conducting an open house in New Holland on Saturday, July 11, and celebrating a grand opening of additional space in Manheim on Saturday, Aug. 1. For additional information, go to www.cavod.org.

LCCTC Students Compete at National Event

Three students from Lancaster County Career and Technology Center (LCCTC) recently traveled to Atlanta, Ga., to compete at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference. The event took place from June 1 to 5.

Carly Hoffman placed

first in the Dental Assisting - Secondary competition, and Ashton Gonzalez placed first in the Dental Assisting - Postsecondary competition. Both are students in the Dental Assistant program at LCCTC’s Willow Street campus. Hoffman is from Elizabethtown Area

School District. In addition, Alyssa Nessinger participated in the Advertising Design competition, placing 13th. Nessinger is from Cocalico School District and is enrolled in the Commercial Art program at LCCTC’s Brownstown campus.

Students

Earn College Degrees

Three Lititz residents graduated from Alvernia University, Reading, on May 9. The university conferred a record 800 degrees during its commencement ceremony at Santander Arena in Reading.

The local honorees are Brynn Bollinger, who earned an Associate of Science in applied health; Emma Remaley, Bachelor of Science in biology with a minor in environmental science; and Theresa Stauffer, Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice.

Remaley was also named to the dean’s list for the spring semester.

LCBC Sets Meeting

The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, July 9, at 7 p.m. at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens.

Will Krohn will present “How Citizen Science Can Help PA’s Purple Martins.” The talk will discuss the life history of the purple martin, North America’s largest swallow, and some reasons for its population decline. Krohn will share about his research to help conserve purple martins by studying how young martins move between the artificial colonies that they rely on for nesting. This research is currently happening across Pennsylvania, and the talk will conclude with ways that attendees can contribute to the project and help protect purple martins.

Krohn has worked as an avian field technician and bird bander all around the eastern United States. He is now conducting research on purple martins while pursuing a master’s degree in wildlife ecology in the Aeroecology Lab at the University of Delaware.

The meeting is free and open to the public. For more information, call 717-8918145 or 717-725-2717.

Information about the LCBC is available at www.lancaster birdclub.org, www.facebook .com/lancasterbirdclub, and www.instagram.com/ lancasterbirdclub.

Once an applicant is approved, the organization will want to learn the type of animal the foster parent would like to take in. “A lot of folks have preferences, whether it’s a large or small dog, a cat, or kittens,” stated Reinmiller. Other questions may reference lifestyle and family size, such as whether the home is high traffic.

At All 4 Paws, foster coordinator Melissa Kuchinski will contact the approved applicant to discuss the age and size of a possible foster dog and to learn whether small children or cats are present in the home. “We try to place (animals that) we think would work in that home,” explained Hen-

dricks. Special attention is given to place animals with medical issues with more experienced foster caregivers, since these animals usually remain in foster care longer than the typical stay, which can range from a day or two to several months.

Meeting the animal that will be fostered is treated much like an adoption meeting at the Lancaster Center. If the meeting goes well, the foster care provider will receive crates, toys, food, and treats, and any necessary medical care will be covered.

“The fosters are not out-of-pocket for anything (at All 4 Paws),” explained Hendricks. “We give them the white glove treatment,” she added, noting that the organization depends on donations to make that possible. Fosters also receive a list of rules that include instructions such as keeping a leash on the dog at all times. “Rescue dogs are a huge flight risk,” noted Hendricks. “It’s easier and safer to grab a leash than a dog.”

Training for dogs and

foster parents can also be part of the mix. “We have training partners who work with us,” shared Hendricks, who recalled a dog she fostered who did not like to meet new people. “A training partner met with us for an hour and gave me hints, and (that dog is) now in a wonderful home,” she shared.

At the Lancaster Center, foster parents are given direct access to SPCA staff members even after hours.

“We can counsel, provide handouts, or talk on the phone about what to do with certain behaviors,” explained Reinmiller, who reaches out to fosters weekly to see how things are going.

According to Reinmiller, foster parents are a great source of information about the pet and provide photos and videos that help in the adoption process. “We are a municipal shelter contracted with local police to take strays,”

explained Reinmiller, who noted that each dog is assessed at the center.

“Foster homes are really helpful for us to get home knowledge for the dogs in our care … especially with dogs that are a little shy or have behavioral concerns or need medical care.”

Hendricks agreed, noting, “We can make a good match (for an adoptive home) using the information about the (pet provided by foster parents).”

Finding foster homes with volunteers who have had pets but do not have any at the moment is especially helpful because those foster parents have experience but are able to focus more on the animal being fostered.

Both organizations accept cats as well. “For the most part (with) cats, it’s mostly kitten foster -

ing,” said Reinmiller. “It’s socializing and housing until they are old enough to come to the shelter for adoption.” Kittens must be eight weeks old or weigh two pounds to stay at the shelter.

At All 4 Paws Rescue, both rescues and owner surrenders that are not immediately adopted go to foster homes the same day.

“We like the foster care system because it gives the (pet) a home as opposed to a kennel,” said Hendricks. “It’s about whether we have a foster home (available) that will work,” she added, pointing out that foster homes are always needed. Reflecting on her own experience fostering, Hendricks stated that she has reaped many benefits.

“It’s wonderful to be part of a dog’s journey,” she said.

College Announces Planned Presidential Transition

The Board of Trustees of Lancaster Bible College (LBC) announced on June 3 a planned leadership transition that aims to affirm the college’s 93-year mission, build on recent momentum, and continue LBC’s Kingdom impact in the years ahead. After leading the college

since 2020, Tommy Kiedis has announced that he will conclude his presidency on June 30, 2027. The college anticipates that Kiedis will serve as chancellor starting July 2027, engaging in ambassadorial responsibilities and utilizing his gifts to advance the work of the college in support

of the institution’s next president.

The Board of Trustees has appointed Jael K.D.L.V. Chambers, current executive vice president, to serve as the college’s next president, effective July 1, 2027. The announcement has been made more than a

year in advance to provide a thoughtful, intentional, and smooth leadership transition for the college community. Over the next year, Kiedis and Chambers will work closely to ensure continuity of leadership, clarity of direction, and a smooth transfer of responsibilities.

The Board of Trustees’ decision reflects the ongoing emphasis on succession planning at all levels of the institution and a deliberate and prayerful months-long process by the executive committee of the board, responsible for succession planning.

Under Kiedis’ leadership, Lancaster Bible College executed a comprehensive three-year strategic plan, widely expanded access to online programs, grew enrollment, refreshed its brand, increased fiscal stability, completed a capital campaign, and enhanced institutional alignment and accountability. The self-study evaluation team report from LBC’s

Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) visit in March 2026 affirmed this progress while encouraging continued implementation and strengthening of institutional assessment practices.

The executive committee of the board determined that continuity of leadership, comprehensive institutional and industry knowledge, and the ability to sustain and accelerate current momentum were essential criteria for the next president. The board leadership determined that this moment in LBC’s history called for a presidential selection process focused on identifying a qualified candidate already committed to and steeped in the college’s mission, direction, and strategy. The executive committee of the board functioned as a presidential search committee in this respect, first defining the current institutional context and then identifying the most important competencies LBC needs in its next president.

The board believes that the most important leadership need for LBC is missional stewardship - that is, a clear, mission-aligned strategy, disciplined execution, a healthy organizational culture, and sus -

tained momentum going into the next strategic plan.

The executive committee of the board evaluated a short list of potential presidential candidates and gave particular attention to demonstrated leadership capacity, institutional integration, strategic execution, and spiritual maturity. The committee recommended Chambers to the Board of Trustees.

Chambers has served as executive vice president during a pivotal season in LBC’s history. In his role, he has acted as a primary leader in designing and executing the college’s strategic plan, strengthening organizational alignment, implementing institution-wide Key Performance Indicators, enhancing professional development, and reinforcing a culture of clarity, accountability, and mission-centered decision-making.

At the center of Chambers’ leadership is a commitment to students and a desire to ensure that Jesus Christ remains central to the Lancaster Bible College experience. His leadership has consistently emphasized spiritual formation, belonging, student flourishing, and mission alignment across both on-campus and online student populations. Through the development of an emerg-

ing Spiritual Formation Framework and the implementation of one of the college’s most comprehensive Student Experience Surveys, he helped create institution-wide insight into how students are flourishing academically, spiritually, relationally, and personally both inside and outside the classroom. This work aimed to strengthen cross-department collaboration, inform retention and engagement strategies, and reinforce LBC’s commitment to educating and developing students who are prepared to serve Christ faithfully in the church and society.

Chambers has demonstrated the ability to lead across all areas of the college, translating vision into execution while maintaining a focused commitment to “educating Christian students to think and live a biblical worldview and to proclaim Christ by serving Him in the Church and society.” He has also served as an adviser to the president and a key integrator of institutional strategy and culture.

In addition, Chambers was identified by Kiedis as his recommended successor. Kiedis cited Chambers’ proven leadership, humble boldness, student focus, fundraising acumen, and continual learning.

United Way Awards Grants

United Way of Lancaster County and Lancaster Rotary Club have announced that $80,000 in Summer Youth Experience Grants has been distributed to support organizations providing enriching summer learning opportunities for youths ages 5 to 17 in the School District of Lancaster.

Through this partnership, Lancaster Rotary contributed $45,000 and United Way of Lancaster County contributed $35,000 to help ensure local children and teens have access to safe, engaging, and educational summer programming. These investments support programs that help students continue learning, build confidence,

explore new interests, and stay connected during the summer months.

The organizations that received 2026 Summer Youth Experience Grants are Advantage Lancaster, SWAN, Horizons at Lancaster Country Day School, and Music for Everyone. These programs will provide youths with opportunities for academic enrichment, mentorship, creativity, and personal growth throughout the summer.

United Way of Lancaster County has also awarded $12,000 in Kellogg’s Summer Hunger funding to support local organizations addressing food insecurity for children and families during the summer months.

The funding, provided through Kellogg’s, supports community-based programs working to ensure families across Lancaster County have reliable access to nutritious food while school is out of session - a time when many children lose access to regular school meals. Grant funding was awarded to CrossNet, The Factory Ministries, and Loft Community Partnership. These investments are part of United Way of Lancaster County’s ongoing commitment to supporting ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families and strengthening access to essential resources across the community.

The Elizabethtown Fair is seeking candidates for its fair queen competition, which will be held on Monday, Aug. 24, at 6 p.m. on the Kiwanis Stage on the fairgrounds, 900 E. High St.

To run for fair queen, additional qualifications include residence in Lancaster, Lebanon or Dauphin counties; parental or guardian consent; and no previous history of serving as a local fair queen or former state contestant.

“These requirements ensure fairness, consistency and eligibility for the statewide competition,” said Alyssa Neff, co-coordinator of the Elizabethtown Fair Queen competition.

A great candidate for the competition typically has strong communication skills; genuine interest in agriculture, fairs, youth programs or community service; professionalism and reliability; warmth and approachability; and leadership qualities that make her comfortable speaking to groups, meeting officials and advocating for agriculture, Neff said.

“You don’t need to be a farm kid or have a 4-H or FFA background,” she explained. “Just (be) someone who cares about the

fair and its mission.”

The fair queen has a variety of responsibilities, including representing the fair at community events, ceremonies, parades and agricultural functions; participating in the state fair queen competition in Hershey each January; engaging with fairgoers during fair week by presenting awards, greeting visitors, supporting youth exhibitors and promoting agricultural education; and advocating for agriculture and the importance of fairs in Pennsylvania.

“The fair queen serves as the public face and ambassador of the fair for one full year,” Neff explained. “In short, she is the spokesperson, cheerleader and representative for both the Elizabethtown Fair and agriculture in Elizabethtown.”

At the competition during the fair, the candidates must present a prepared speech, often about the importance of fairs or agriculture. They also participate in an interview with a panel of judges and answer an impromptu question to test their poise and communication skills. The application includes a written essay as well.

Above all, successful fair queens must exhibit strong stage presence and professionalism, Neff said.

“There is no talent portion in the traditional sense,” she said. “This is

an ambassador role, not a talent pageant.”

The winner and alternate will both receive college scholarship money.

Neff emphasized that the fair queen plays a role beyond the weeklong Elizabethtown Fair.

She promotes agricultural literacy, helping the public understand where food comes from. She supports youth exhibitors in 4-H, FFA and other programs, and she serves as a bridge between the agricultural community and the general public. She also represents Pennsylvania agriculture statewide, espe-

cially at the state queen competition, and she encourages community involvement and highlights the value of local fairs.

“She helps keep agricultural traditions alive while inspiring the next generation,” Neff said.

Anyone interested in running for fair queen should visit the Elizabethtown Fair website at https://etownfair.com/contests for an application and additional details. The application deadline is Friday, July 10.

This year’s Elizabethtown Fair will run from Aug. 24 through Saturday, Aug. 29.

Eberly, a 2022 product of Cocalico High School, recently graduated from George Mason University, which is located in Fairfax, Va. She completed a successful Division One college experience in the fall of 2025.

Eberly plays the same position, center midfield, for the Lancaster Inferno as she did for the Patriots during her college days.

This is demonstrated through my hard work, perseverance, competitiveness and team-first mentality. With both teams, I have always given my all, and I continue to do so with Inferno.”

The Lancaster Inferno’s 2026 11-match season runs from early May to late June.

“My role on the team is demonstrated through leadership, as I serve as one of three team captains,” said Eberly. “My job is to communicate with the other captains, as well as serve as a point of contact for my teammates if they have questions or concerns. Overall, I strive to set a good example for our team, supporters and the community.”

Headquartered in Lititz, the Lancaster Inferno is an age-level female soccer academy and program which promotes development, love of the game, skill advancements and learning and life opportunities for girls and young women. The Inferno’s first team, which is made up of the program’s older and most skilled players, competes in the Mid-Atlantic

“I would say my role with my college team was similar to my role with Lancaster Inferno,” said Eberly. “In any environment, I always approach the game with the same mentality. I try to lead with respect and be the best teammate I can be.

Eberly was one of the Lancaster Inferno’s 12

“The best thing about Lancaster Inferno is the team culture, as well as the support from our community,” said Eberly, who first started playing the sport when she was 5. “I have made lifelong connections with teammates, coaches and even youth players because of this club. Our entire team has so much respect for one another, which makes competing together incredibly fun and meaningful. Our community also plays a huge role in our success and enjoyment as players.”
