Stacy Emminger, executive director of Donegal Substance Abuse Alliance (DSAA) loves Fridays, but not for the same reason many of us do. While it signals the end of the workweek for some, it represents another step in the recovery journey for the people who come through her doors at 78 E. Main St., Mount Joy.
Now the public can see firsthand how art is helping people heal when DSAA holds its annual Recovery Art Show. The event will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 1.
“The art is created by people in early recovery that come to our Art Heals program on Fridays,” Emminger said. “It is my favorite day. We have so much fun. We hang out, have music and snacks and make art. For them it’s a little break from their treatment setting, a place to unwind. The art teachers are in long-term recovery and share about how art has helped them.”
At the art show, a variety of mediums will be on display, including paintings, oil pastels, collage and sculptures. It’s not for sale, since DSAA does not have a retail license, but the art can be taken home for a donation.
The Recovery Art Show takes place during Fourth Friday in Mount Joy when there’s lots to see and do in town, but it also serves another purpose, Emminger said.
“The reason I love to have people come out to see the art is because I’m constantly working to break the stigma of addiction,” she shared. “And people need to understand that it can happen
to anyone. In the end, we’re all human beings. This is a way to show the humanity of our clients. And it’s also a way for people to know about us and what we do.
People still don’t know we’re here and we can help.”
Helping people in recovery has been the mission of DSAA since its inception. The organization
celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
“Back in 2015 when we started, the opioid epidemic wasn’t a thing yet,” she remarked. “No one was talking about the addiction crisis or the kids that were dying. It was very much a ‘can’t happen to me’ climate. But over the years, we have gained support from the

The members of the Donegal baseball team are usually busy out on the diamond, but on Saturday, March 1, you can find them in the kitchen.
That’s the date of the team’s annual breakfast, which is
prepared and served by the players. Players will also greet patrons at the door, take tickets and sell Donegal baseball merchandise.
The meal will be held from 7 to 10 a.m. at Mount Joy Mennonite Church, 320 Musser Road, Mount Joy. It will feature
At Saint Luke Episcopal Church in Mount Joy, one Tuesday stands out from the rest.
The church, located at 209 S. Market St., will hold its annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, March 4, from 4 to 7 p.m. The meal will celebrate Mardi Gras and mark the beginning of the Lenten season.
The menu will include all-you-can-eat pancakes, link sausages, a fresh fruit cup and beverages. Shrimp and grits will be served as an a la carte option.
As Lynn McCleary, senior warden at the church, explained, the Southern appeal of the a la carte choice has been popular with guests in previous yearsand she should know.
“The shrimp and grits bring flavors and textures you won’t

soon forget, made lovingly by (me),” she said.
Along with the meal, visitors are invited to tour the historic church building.
“Saint Luke has a rich history and the sanctuary is beautiful and welcoming,” McCleary shared. “The tour can be guided or self-guided.”
The Rev. Martha Harris will also be available to offer private prayers for anyone seeking spiritual reflection.
Shrove Tuesday, commonly known as Mardi Gras, marks the final day of Ordinary Time before the Christian season of Lent begins the next day, Ash Wednesday. Observed worldwide under various names - including Fastnacht in Switzerland and parts of Germany and Sprengidagur in Iceland - the tradition
often includes feasting and emptying the larders before the solemnity of Lent, a period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter.
The Shrove Tuesday meal at Saint Luke has been popular in the past, and McCleary expects a good crowd this year as well.
“We welcomed 100 guests last year, and it was a festive and filling experience for all involved,” she said.
Holding the meal allows the church to interact with the wider community and raise funds for on-site projects.
“We are a small congregation looking to raise money for our stained-glass window repair project,” she shared. “We strive to make a positive impact on our community, and good food has a way of bringing people together. Come hungry, bring friends and enjoy an evening of food, fellowship, fun and festivity.”
The social hall and church sanctuary are fully handicapped-accessible via an elevator, and on-street parking is available. Tickets for the supper may be reserved by calling or texting Gail Fridy at 717-5380810. Reservations are preferred, but walks-ins are welcome.

More than 30 stand holders will participate in the event, said Kris Gray, a church member who coordinates the yard sale.
“There is always a wide variety of items for sale at good prices and a chance to chat with friends and neighbors,” she shared. “We normally have a great turnout because folks are eager to get out and enjoy one of the first yard sales of the spring.”

DSAA provides support and help to families that have a loved one struggling with addiction.
“So often when it’s happening, families don’t know what to do or how to help their loved one,” Emminger explained. “We provide a listening ear, advice and steps
A wide variety of food will also be for sale, including egg sandwiches, homemade chicken corn noodle soup, hot dogs, barbecue sandwiches, baked goods and assorted beverages.
Again this year, a table will be set up offering new and used Bibles and devotional books for people of
Proceeds from stand holder donations and the food stand, as well as the donation table, help to fund the missions and ministry activities of the Sunshine adult Sunday School class. This class organizes and distributes food boxes for local families in need at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter; supports the church’s participation in Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse; and hosts a special banquet for senior citizens. The class also sends cards to homebound individuals and supports four local ministries as well as an overseas missionary.
Gray noted that the yard sale, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, would not be

Ruhl’s Church holds community events throughout the year, and the indoor yard sale plays an important part in the church’s mission.

Bats
pancakes, eggs, sausage, hashbrown patties, an assortment of doughnuts, fruit and beverages.
Last year was the first time the team held a breakfast like this, and it was very well received, said Erin Rupp, Donegal baseball booster club president.
“The pancake breakfast last year was a huge success,” she stated. “We sold over 300 tickets and are hoping to sell 350 this year.”
Proceeds from the event will benefit various projects of the team, said head coach Adam Frey.
“This year, the majority of the funds will be going towards repairing the battings cages and bullpens at our varsity field along with two new practice shirts for both JV and varsity,” he commented.
Last year was also Frey’s first year as coach of the team, and he led the boys to multiple wins. Scott Niehaus is the varsity assistant coach.
“Last year our baseball team was great!” Frey remarked. “We had an awesome group of young men that got along really well both on and off the field, and it showed. We were the Section 3 champs for
the first time in 10 years, ending the season with a record of 16-4 overall. … Our goal this year is to first win our section and then make it to states.”
Rupp noted that the breakfast offers the perfect opportunity to meet the Section 3 champions along with the high school coaching staff and members of the Donegal community, while enjoying a delicious meal.
“It’s also a great way to show your support of the Donegal High School baseball program and team,” she said. “One can expect to have a great, large, hot breakfast prepared and served by Donegal baseball players and food donated by many local businesses in the community, such as Hershey Ag, Eggman Farm Products and Kreider Farms, among many others.”
Tickets for the breakfast will be sold at the door or may be purchased ahead of time by emailing Donegalbaseballbooster@gmail .com, contacting the club through the “Donegal Indians Baseball Boosters” Facebook page or reaching out to one of the prospective players who are selling tickets.
