This week at Rotary - Club Business update
 
This week we will have our monthly business meeting. 
Business meetings may include new member classifications, committee reports, ongoing Club business, and new member inductions.
 
These are all important matters for our Club so hope to see you at Brookside.
 
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.
 
For those who wish to see the presentation from a Zoom meeting, your login information is below:

District Conference this past weekend
 
It was so good to see everyone in person at the District Conference in Hershey. Pottstown Club had a great turnout of attendees.
DG Bob Hobaugh and his wife Florita along with Conference Chair DGN Diane Donaher and her team, presented a fantastic and fun event with much fellowship, education and engagement.   
 
We are equally excited to invite you to next year's conference "CASINO ROYALE" - at the Tropicana hotel in Atlantic City.   As I announced, we are giving those in attendance this past weekend the opportunity to get a weekend upgrade from the standard hotel room to one of the Havana Tower Suites (a 1000.00 value).   You must register by the end of the day Wednesday April 27th to get your name in the drawing.  Best odds of winning are right now!
 
Register for the conference only at the website District Conference 2023 Starts Here 
Hotel reservations will be available starting May 5th.   
 
Our conference team and I are ready to bring another first-class conference experience to all.  
 
See you in Atlantic City where Rotarians Will Gather and BOND at the Beach.

Thank you to everyone who turned out for the Edgewood Cemetery clean-up this past Saturday and the Art Fair that followed.

This week at Rotary - Big Ticket Night
Big Ticket night is back after 2 years.   
This is one of the premier events on the Rotary calendar and we're set to go - this Wednesday, May 11th.
 
For the new members of the club, the event is based around a reverse raffle - object is you want to be one of the lucky people holding one of the last 5 tickets.   
During the raffle we give away random cash prizes to numbers pulled. 

The $120 per person price includes entry into the raffle, 2 drink tickets and choice of Prime Rib or Salmon dinner. 
 
Mike Sloane at Brookside will have tickets for you and your guests.  He will be the point person for ticket sales.
 
I am expecting the tickets to go very fast this year since we have not had this event for two years.   
Many of the attendees are Brookside club members so don't hesitate to get your tickets.  
 
Thank you.

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!!
