Offsite Social/Happy Hour at Slyfox Brewing Company.
For these off-site socials, there will be no meal fee and you will be responsible for any food or drinks during the gathering. We hope these events give us an opportunity to have more time to interact as Rotarians and to create a low-pressure way to engage new members.
January happy hour will be at Sly Fox Brewing on the Circle of Progress in Pottstown. There is ample parking, a range of food selections and, of course, Sly Fox beer and cider for you to enjoy!

From time to time our fellow Rotarians find causes that are near and dear to their hearts and have a great impact on the community that require some giving of items or funds. This section will house all of those things, from ongoing items to ones for a specific time frame.
The Period Project with the Tri-County YWCA is ongoing. School has started again, and with it, the continuing need to provide feminine hygiene products for girls in Pottstown and the Pottsgroves. Girls who have to miss school because they cannot afford period products lose up to a week each month. Please consider making a monetary or in kind donation. Please reach out to Patti Derr if you have questions, and thank you for supporting equity in education. Patti Derr at 610-850-4737 or pnderr343@gmail.com. Thank you for your generosity.
St. Paul's Diaper Bank is located at 927 N. Franklin St in Pottstown and it provides free diapers, wipes and other essentials to low income families in Pottstown. The Diaper Bank is open every Wednesday from 10am-12pm. We are seeing a dramatic increase in the number of families we serve each week and welcome donations of unopened childrens' diapers and pull-ups in any and every size, as well as wipes. We are the only Diaper Bank of its kind for the Pottstown community and we would like to expand our hours in order to help more families, but we can only do that with donations and community support.

Rotary clubs channel their commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity. Youth Service, one of the five, recognizes the importance of empowering youth through leadership development programs. Rotary Youth Exchange is one of many youth leadership development programs offered by Rotary and was started in 1920 by Rotary International.

Do you know a student who you would like to see have this same growth experience? Now is the time to talk with them and get them to talk with Lauren McCloskey or Mike McCarthy. The world is open!
