This week at Rotary - Rotary Foundation
 
Join us this evening for Roger Baumann, renowned Foundation leader from our Club, and Kattie Ferrell, our Rotary District 7430 Annual Fund Chair.
They will explain the global, national, district and local aspects of the Rotary Foundation.
 
The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.
Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
 
Our mission
The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.
 
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:

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.

Rt 724 Spring Clean Up
 
 
It's that time of year again!  While a lot of us are Spring cleaning our homes, the roadways need some Spring cleaning as well. 
Ken Snyder has so kindly arranged for The Rotary Club to "Spring Clean" our sponsored roadway on PA-724. 
We'll be meeting at 7:30AM on April 16, 2022 in the parking lot of Jerry's Rotisserie and Fried Chicken (233 PA-724, Pottstown, PA 19465). 
We will provide safety vests, garbage bags, and other supplies as needed.

Ken has promised he'll have some doughnuts for us. If that doesn't get you out of doors on a beautiful morning, then I don't know what will!
 
Thank you

Rotary Club of Pottstown

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!!
