ROTARY CLUB OF POTTSTOWN PO Box 227, POTTSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA 19464 U.S.A. The Pottstown Fourth of July Parade is back! .jpg) The Rotary Club of Pottstown is proud to be organizing and sponsoring this traditional hometown event, and to be part of the many positive things that are happening in Pottstown. Parade organization includes mainstays such as the Rotary Club 16-foot-high inflated yellow duck, a float from the Pottstown GoFourth Festival, the Boyertown Alumni Band, Getz Steam Calliope, veterans’ groups and many other local organizations. We invite your organization to participate. Please contact us at pottstownrotary@gmail.com. We will send you a Registration Form or you can download it from our "Download Files" section on the website. The parade begins at 10:30 am on July 4 at High and Adams Sts. and continues west to Manatawny Street. We expect a great parade with strong community participation, but it will come with expenses such as traffic control/police protection and costs to secure some of the participating bands and contingents. Therefore, there is a registration fee required – $35 for Non-Profit organizations (excluding fire houses), $60 for business/commercial entities, or $100 for political entities. Individuals and families must register, but pay no fee. The Pottstown GoFourth! Festival is organizing and planning the events in Memorial Park in the afternoon and evening. Although we are working cooperatively with them, we are financially separate. Registration forms must be submitted and fees must be paid to Rotary by Friday, June 21, 2019. For questions and additional information contact us at pottstownrotary@gmail.com or our website at www.pottstownrotary.org. We hope you will join us. |
 Our Meeting on May 8th will be at the Rotary Pavilion in Riverfront Park. We will be planting new annuals, weeding the beds, laying mulch and otherwise making the pavilion beautiful for Spring. After the work we will have dinner. Please arrive as early as 4:30 if you're able and available to work. Bring gloves, shovels, rakes, spades, hoes, whatever other appropriate tools you may have. If you're unable to help with the planting please still come for dinner and fellowship and to enjoy the beautiful Riverfront Park and Rotary Pavilion. We will have wine and beer available as well as a casual dinner from a local establishment. Looking forward to getting outside and enjoying time together. |
