“Lifelong learning is really imperative to success. So many things change rapidly: technology, the economy and the political climate,” said SLCCC president Kristen Phipps. “We’ve built a very organic entrepreneurial
community where we can mentor each other. We want to continue our businesses’ growing and provide our community a place to shop local.”
The conference will begin with a check-in and breakfast from 8:30 to 9 a.m., followed by a brief welcome and a talk from keynote speaker Sheila Jones. Jones will share advice on overcoming challenges to grow a successful business based on her own professional and personal life experiences.

Mental Health America of Lancaster County (MHALC) is bringing attention to the importance of mental health, and much of its good work originates from simple conversations.
“We’ve come quite a long way from my generation of ‘suck it up’ and ‘you’ll be fine,’” said Dave Krahling, who’s been MHALC’s program manager since November of 2023. “Now, we have more people talking about their mental health. We’re
shining a light on it, and it’s become more acceptable. The more we talk about it, the more we’re realizing we’re not alone.”
Located at 245 Butler Ave., No. 204, Lancaster, MHALC is more of a facilitator, an advocate for mental health, than a hands-on treatment organization. MHALC performs its work through education, support and mental health screenings and by outreach programs at businesses, libraries and schools.
“If you have a brain, you have mental health,” said Krahling.

Christian nonprofit organization American Home Life International (AHLI) began decades ago with the dream of Marvin and Ruth Powers, a newlywed couple from Lancaster that wished to serve side-by-side as missionaries overseas. Although their initial dream of evangelism abroad was never realized, Marvin and Ruth hosted their first international student in 1972. More than fifty years later, AHLI has served thousands of students from around

the globe, and it continues to help them find host families throughout the United States.
AHLI’s mission statement is to “provide quality education programs to international students in the safe, caring environment of Christian host families where they will experience the love of Christ.” Nicole Bianchi, a resident of West Lampeter, is an AHLI coordinator. Bianchi’s job is to locate families in the community that wish to open their homes to students, visiting the potential hosts to make sure they will be a good fit. “I love my job. The kinds of families that open up their homes are usually incredible people,” Bianchi said. “Every time I leave a home, I’m blown away by the heart of the community.”
Bianchi’s experience with AHLI began when she was 6 years old, after her parents had decided to host students through the organization. “It was just a part of our normal family culture,” said Bianchi. “I even went to Japan to visit a student who I
consider a sister to me.”
After graduating high school, Bianchi married a professional baseball player whose career required them to travel frequently. Bianchi and her husband lived with AHLI host families until his retirement, and they decided to become a host family themselves after returning to Lancaster. Bianchi has hosted students from various countries in Europe and Asia, and she is currently hosting a student from China.

“We need to realize that mental health and physical health are combined.”
MHALC serves Lancaster County residents dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, personality disorders and thoughts of suicide.
Last year alone, MHALC reached nearly 800 people through its advocacy program; 2,262 youths through its school education; and 6,075 individuals through its community outreach support program.
Also in 2023, MHALC’s family and youth advocate program served more than 560 local people and wrote 136 individual education plans (IEPs). During that same time, MHALC’s prison advocacy program reached more than 1,500 people incarcerated at the Lancaster County Prison.
At the heart of what MHALC does is people helping people. Supported by the work of volunteers, MHALC’s staff consists of four full-time employees and four part-timers.
MHALC receives funding from the Lancaster County government through grants and fundraisers.
“(MHALC employees are) a lot of peers,” said Krahling. “It’s people who are passionate about mental health. We don’t want to provide therapy; we want to get clients to people who
“The more we advocate, the more people are reaching out and seeking help,” said Krahling. “It’s everyone, anyone who has concerns about mental health. It could be themselves or a child. It’s people being challenged by everyday life. We want to make sure people have the support and the medication they need. The biggest thing is getting the word out that MHALC is here. I like to go out and meet the public. When people realize who I am, they want to talk about mental health.”

Church to host Polka Mass
Christ Lutheran Church, 2 W. Strawberry St., Lancaster, will hold its annual Polka Mass on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 9 a.m. in the church sanctuary. The church honors its anniversary yearly with a Polka Mass led by the Heidelberg Brass Band under the direction of the Rev. Glenn Beard.
The Polka Mass combines the Lutheran liturgical worship service in a respectful way with popular waltz and polka tunes.
All are invited to share in the service of worship and praise, which will be followed by a fellowship time in the adjacent church parlor.
The church is located at the corner of Manor and West Strawberry streets in Lancaster, with parking available in the lot behind the church on Lafayette Street.
