Upcoming Meeting/Event - Ornament Exchange - Dec 4th
Ladies Ornament Exchange - Lake Ridge Country Club
 
 
December 4th
Come celebrate the season with us!
Rotary Ornament Exchange And Ugly Sweater Contest
 
Bring a festive, wrapped holiday ornament ($10.00 value) to exchange at the Rotary meeting.
 
Wear your ugly sweater...You might win a prize...The uglier the better!

Maybe you'll have the pride of knowing that the entire membership is competing to take your entry home, or maybe you'll end up with the worst of the worst, or possibly even both outcomes! 

And try to remember where you put that favorite old holiday sweater or, if it's now moth-eaten and 2-sizes too small, start looking for a replacement.
Thrift stores, discount stores, your spouse's closet, the internet, and your own personally knitted creation are all fair game.

Social hour starts at 5:30 pm at Brookside Country Club with dinner at 6:30 pm.  Then the competition begins for the best ornament of the night!

Hope to see you there!

In Case You Missed It - Veteran's Night - Nov 13th

What a great night to celebrate our veterans!  Kuddos to Len for coordinating this great night.

Join us to celebrate and thank former and current military veterans from the community and our club.  We encourage members to bring guests especially veteran guests.  Please contact me with names of veteran guests, Branch of service, Rank and what they did.  Our guest Speaker is Spc Christopher Swenda.   He was one of this year's Glass Tear Honoree's at the Veterans Community day.  He had a very inspiring message that I think we will all enjoy.   

All Veteran club members and guests are invited to wear something from your service days.   

This is always a great event for not only the Veterans but for all the club members.   Everyone is encouraged to come out, hear some stories, learn about the Veterans and say "Thank You Your Service."   Open to Guests as well.  

 


 
Community Needs
Community Needs
 
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.
