At Rotary this week - keeping the satellites aloft
 
This week our own Rick Albitz will talk about his career working with GE Aerospace, who is now Lockheed-Martin, in putting satellites in orbit around our earth.  Although retired, he still gets called upon when dealing with the complexity of keeping these satellites aloft
 
Join us for a social hour at 5:30 pm at Brookside Country Club with dinner and program at 6:30 pm.
 
Please note - we are planning to continue with a hybrid meeting format.  For hybrid meetings we are aiming for a minimum of 20 in-person attendees in order to support the meeting logistics.  For those comfortable to attend in person, masking and social distancing rules will be followed although relaxed if you are vaccinated.  Registration is required for in-person attendance so that we can plan meals. Register here if you have not done so.

Club Changeover
Event:  Pottstown Rotary Change Over
 


It's hard to believe that our Rotary year is coming to a close and another year is about to begin.   Nicole Matz guided the club back to a more normal routine last year and it is our time to say thank you.   
The Gavel will be passed to Lauren McCloskey who is eager to keep the ball rolling and to have an exciting year as president. 
The festivities start at 5 PM with the open bar and appetizers. Bartender Bobby will be on hand to make your special cocktails.
This is a great event and all Rotarians and guests should have registered by now.
 
Awards and the introduction of the new board along with a few comments from Nicole and Lauren will round out the evening.
 
Dinner starts at 6:30.
 
Hope to see everyone there!

Camp Neidig 2022
Dear Fellow Rotarians:
 
The Camp Neidig Registration Site is now officially open.
Our 2022 Camp Neidig Youth Leadership Program will be held June 17th - June 20th at Camp Manatawny.  
All forms are available on our website https://www.campneidig.com/forms--registration.html.   
PLEASE download the Neidig Chairperson packet HERE as it has all the necessary registration instructions.  Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required for students to attend camp.
In the Neidig Chairperson Packet you will also see easy hyperlinks to register your club and your campers and buy chicken barbeque tickets.  I have attached the packets HERE for your convenience.
 
For complete instructions, please make sure you read the Club Chairperson Packet.  We have included screen shots to help make registering easy.  The registration fee is $300/camper.  There is no limit on how many campers a club sends.
Neidig Night tickets will only be available through on-line purchase with a credit card.  Remember, the price of the Neidig Night Barbeque is included in the camper tuition, so you do not need to purchase tickets for campers.       
 
To help people understand the spirit of our camp, we created a short promotional video that can be accessed on our website home page.   This is a wonderful tool to use for recruitment of campers.   If you have any questions or need additional help, please to do not hesitate to contact Charlie or myself at the e-mail addresses listed below.
Thanks for your support and see you at camp!!
