Butterfly Garden Update 🦋
Saturday, May 3rd. This will be from 9-12. THIS WORK EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Hopefully we will be joined by Gardeners from the Whitehall Farm Gardens as well as members of the Norristown Rotaract.
We would love it if you could come out and assist.
Our primary focus will be to remove the sod, lay down pea gravel, re-build the Rotary wheel and plant some perennials.
Please feel free to bring extra shovels, knee pads, 5-gallon buckets and work gloves.
More hands will make the work go much faster.
We hope to see you there.
Please rsvp if you can make it so that we can make sure to have enough coffee and doughnuts for all. 😋
I watched the April Monthly Message from the DG a little late this month but was I ever more interested. I was going to put an article in Spoke, but some people don't read Spoke. So please watch the video and see if it excites you with the same intensity.
Naturally the topic this month was Earth Day and the District Environmental Chair, Terry Reed has really advanced this initiative in 2 years. There is an awful lot going on everywhere else.
If you could, do our club a favor and watch this month's message, if you haven't already, I think you will be impressed.
I was particularly intrigued by the plastic recycle program sponsored by NexTrex. If your club collects 1000 lbs of recycled plastic, 'Nextrex' will donate a Trex park bench to your club. The Hamburg club already earned 4 benches with their name on them distributed around town.
This is something we could do. Our gift to the environment. We could BE one of those clubs.
Numerous clubs really met the challenge and Terry claims it is helping them attract younger members because of their keen interest in environment. Seriously, we could do this, this summer, we need a Summer project
Please watch the video link below and let's talk about it. The DG will coincidentally be there on Thursday.
Last week the Club welcomed our second group of NASD students for Student Recognition Awards. School Counselor Jeff MacNamara brought 5 students who had been selected by teachers and staff at the high school. These students were selected on the basis of academic excellence, involvement in school activities as sports, music, art, theater, math and chess clubs, and participation in school leadership in student consul, mentoring, and school outreach to the community. Several are part of the National Honors Society and plan carearrers in Bio Chemistry, Dentistry, psychology, chemistry and other challenging areas.
We wish each reaches the goals they have set for themselves.
Help anyone hungry, weary or living in the streets. Help serve breakfast & coffee, organize meals, lead devotion, handle client check-ins, manage the food pantry. Day shelter services
We are the only non-profit, comprehensive crime-victim agency serving Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Our confidential services are provided at no cost to survivors of crime and their loved ones. Need help with day to day services. Collect used cell phones.
Volunteer at the Pantry or the Farm. Creating meal kits, distributing to guests. Plant pick and pack, help deliver and pick up from partners. Help feed the hungry.
Each week we ask a community leader to come speak to the club. Guests are Welcome !! If you would like to speak at a future meeting, email us at RotaryofNorristown@gmail.com. Include your contract info and a brief description of your topic.
