Regular Monthly Club Board of Directors Meeting

It is once again that time of year for our springtime highway cleanup service project.  Our cleanup date will be Saturday, May 13, 8:00am.  As always we will meet at the far end of the Sleepy Hollow Golf Course parking lot away from the clubhouse building.  For those who may not be familiar, the section of highway covers about one mile and typically takes less than 90 minutes to complete.  The walk is fairly level with very little grade. Safety vests, gloves, garbage bags are all provided.  Just wear comfortable shoes/boots with good traction.  
 

Please reply back to me if you will be participating in this very worthwhile activity to keep Pa CLEAN!  In the event of inclement weather the morning of the cleanup I will be sure to let you know via email no later than 7:00am that morning if it becomes necessary to reschedule.  Thanks and have a great day.

Dear Rotary leader,

I am excited to announce that we are collaborating with Kiwanis International, Lions International, and Optimist International for our third annual Celebrate Community Week!

During the week of 11-17 September, we’re encouraging Rotary and Rotaract clubs to partner with local Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist clubs on a service project that will have a long-term impact in your community. (Use the club finder tools to locate Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist clubs near you.) To get started, work with a local social service organization or with local government officials to learn what your community needs and how you can plan the most effective project.

Tell your neighbors — and us — about your joint service project by sending out a news release, posting on social media with #CelebrateCommunity, and adding the project to Rotary Showcase. 

We can do more when we work together. Let’s harness the collective power of our four organizations’ 3.4 million members and Celebrate Community together.

Sincerely,
John Hewko
Rotary General Secretary and CEO
