For the first time I remember, it was a nice day as we held the Chicken BBQ. Only a minor gust of wind… ok, maybe not minor, which blew the tents over. Great job Nick Cracium and crew that helped make it a success. Jen Lupp will have more information on this and other financial projects coming up. This month we had another great JAM Social. Several of us had dinner at the Olive Garden, where a few people got to try Calamari for the first time. Good food, if you ask me, not that it was a family meal... that was Hog Maw. In May there will be a party at the chapter house, we hope to see everyone there! Katie Rohrbaugh will fill you in more later in her article. The May Convention is the first full weekend of May 4th-6th. Hosted by the Mystertown Jaycees, this is being held in Middletown, PA. We are looking forward to a lot of fun. If anyone is interested in attending, please let us know. One of my favorite projects, the HART Bowling Social went well. Thanks to Jeff McCloskey for running this project, and to everyone who came that morning to help out. Not only did we have fun running the project, they all had fun there. At the end I heard some of them say how disappointed they were it was already over… it is something they really look forward to every year. The first Quarter is over and almost four months into the year already, hard to believe. With the nice weather coming up, now is a great time to be bringing some friends and prospective members to projects or socials. Liz Boyer is working hard on the membership, and different incentives may be each month. She will keep you up to date on this information. Great job to the Chapter and the Board… Don’t Back Down!

COMMUNITY-START HELPING! Karen Sentz, 2007, Community Development Vice President A quick story this month: I had just come back from a run on the first beautiful day we had this spring. I was chatting with my neighbors across the street when along comes a fluffy white dog tearing up Pinehurst Road with a blonde lady running after him as fast as she could. My neighbor says, “Stupid blonde, trying to walk her dog without a leash!” And we all stood there laughing. As she caught up to where we were, he yelled at her, “Trouble catching your dog?” She yelled back across the street, “The dog isn’t mine; he belongs to an elderly gentleman who lives a few streets down. I almost hit him on Eastern Boulevard, so I stopped my car to help the man get his dog back, because he can hardly walk.” I felt smaller than an ant. Here I was laughing at someone who stopped her car and her busy schedule to help an elderly stranger. In that moment I knew I had to help, so I threw my headset in the front yard and began my second run of the day. And as I ran threw all the neighbors yards, most of whom I didn’t know, I came to realize that they must be thinking, “Look at that stupid woman chasing after her dog-Why didn’t she put him on a leash.” And so it goes, on and on this way-we judge people without even knowing most of the time the full story. So I ask you this month to learn from me and stop judging, start helping. Yes, we did get the puppy back safely to his owner who was thrilled so the story has a happy ending and also a lesson for me! Now you ask-How can I help…

Adopt a Highway-Route 116 was clean for a few days after our first clean-up on March 25. The litter is starting to pile up again so it’s time to put on those shiny vests and stylin gloves and get back out there. Not only did we pick up trash on the first Adopt a Highway but also a new member, Sarah Lupp was sworn in on a tree stump at the side of the road beside several bags of trash. It was a beautiful sight. Please welcome Sarah if you haven’t when you see her! Hope to see you on May 6th for our second collection of the year. If we don’t hear from you Niki Poist will be calling to sign you up! HART Bowling Social-The HART bowling social chaired by Jeff McCloskey, was held on April 21 at the Hanover Bowling Center. All the bowlers had a great time and were thrilled to receive their metals. They were all terrific bowlers and I learned that Turkey is not just the meat we eat at Thanksgiving! It is also when a bowler bowls three strikes in a row. I witnessed this several times and in fact once in the 10th frame on Dewey’s last game. Let me tell you, I would never want to bowl against these guys. Thanks to Jeff McCloskey for chairing this very worthwhile community project. Thanks also to Stan Carbaugh for putting together the beautiful photo collage from last year’s event. All of the bowlers were thrilled to see their pictures. Kimberly Clapper has stepped forward to chair the OYP project. The project is already underway and progressing nicely. Please call or email me with any questions or suggestions. 858-4516 (cell) or [email protected].

Financial Notes Jen Lupp, 2007 Financial Vice President BINGO- is scheduled for May 18th. I’m looking into possible make-up dates for the Bingos we missed in February and March. Anyone willing to help, please call me at 451-4362. Thanks!

Car Show Come join us for fun in the sun on Saturday June 9th at the South Hanover Giant. Stan Carbaugh is hard at work getting sponsors and cars lined up for this event. We are still in need for manpower subchairs. If you are interested in helping out with this project, please contact Stan or myself. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Kids Karnival The Kids Karnival is scheduled for July 28th at Wirt Park. Kari Weaver and her committee are starting to plan the events for the kids. We still have a few vacant spots on the committee that need filled. The more people we can get out, the more fun it is for the kids that day. If you can help, please call Kari or myself.

Miss Hanover Rebecca Smith is starting to set-up a committee for the Miss Hanover project. Publicity and decorations subchairs are still available. If you are interested in any of these positions, please contact Rebecca at [email protected] or myself at 451-4362.

Summer Projects Summer is a busy time for all of us with vacations, baseball, softball, and other fun in the sun activities. However, we can’t back down from our summer financial projects. Shortly, I will be looking for help with the Crab and Chicken Feed and the Seafood Raffle. If anyone is willing to help with these projects, please call me at 451-4362!

Chicken BBQ Thanks to everyone’s help, we sold out of chickens. Our biggest concern this year came from the wind, not the rain. More profit information will be provided after our wrap up meeting on May 1st!

Kathy Main 717-451-8515 [email protected] News Flash… The Pennsylvania Jaycees May State Convention is coming up this month. The Myerstown Jaycees are hosting the Convention in Middletown, close to Harrisburg, PA. The convention will start Friday evening with some committee meetings and 2nd quarter competitions. Then we will be kicking off our shoes and have we will be having a party. Then don’t party to hard because early the next morning we will be having mid-year competitions and some awesome training. Then later on in the day, Myerstown has some fun things for us to do. Then what else to end the evening with but another party! Then Sunday morning will be the board meeting. Oh...I almost forgot...but this is also where we will find out how we rank this quarter compared to the rest of the state.

York... The York Jaycees Chili Cook-Off. It will be held on Saturday, May 26, 2007 on Pershing Avenue in Downtown York. I believe it cost $5.00 to get in or I am sure they would like us to help too. I know in the past we even had some of our members judge the chili along the side of John Brenner, Mayor also past OYP winner. Let’s go make this a visitation, if interested in going please let me know.

Gettysburg… Gettysburg Jaycees are working on one of their biggest projects, the 2nd annual Golf Tournament, held in September.

Upper Adams... Spring is here, so that kicks off the Relay for Life. The Gettysburg Relay for Life is being held at Oakside Park this year. Once again the Upper Adams Jaycees are operating the concession stand. They are looking for our help, especially over the night shift hours. Please let me know if you are able to assist with this project it is held May 18th and 19th. The Upper Adams Jaycees are preparing for their annual Fish Rodeo, it is held for young children in the community. The children try to catch as many fish and also the biggest fish. They are also in the contest to see what is the most unique thing that they catch. It is held at Oakside Park in Biglerville. It is Saturday, June 2nd starting at 9:00AM. Upper Adams is also selling chances to win a chainsaw carving of an eagle. Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. The proceeds will help Oakside Park remain one of the best privately owned recreational parks in the state. See Deb Baber for tickets.

Littlestown…

Altar Rock...

Littlestown is growing… and they are also working on having a OYP nomination from their chapter. It is so great to see such a little chapter have such enthusiasm, keep up the great work Littlestown.

For those who may not know the Pennsylvania Jaycees have institutional chapters and Altar Rock in Huntington County is one of them. Matt, Sherry, Ed, Joel and I are planning to attend Altar Rock Jaycees Family Day Picnic. It is coming up on Sunday, June 24th from 11 –2.

I am planning to visit these chapters at least once a quarter and go to some of their events that they have planned this year. I would like to invite as many people to go with me as possible. Like Fred Baber always said “Let’s go meet the neighbors!”
