LOOKING FOR THE CLUB CALENDAR?
Dave Shoemaker has made it easy to find
I have switched the calendar page in our website to show the google calendar for "norristownrotary.org".
There has been some confusion over calendars in the past. From now on, the google calendar is the only one. I have told Sunanda about the change. She only needs to edit one calendar. ( although the future is rather empty at the moment, different issue ).
No one is required to login to clubrunner to see this. They just search for or go to "norristownrotary.org" and click on the calendar page. Editing the thing requires logging into the club's google account.

JIM NUTT is leading a project to gage the interest in purchasing new NORRISTOWN ROTARY shirts for the upcoming season. Please look at the link below, check out the Rotary clothing section, and see if there are any shirts that you would consider purchasing.
Ron and Patti Smith have relocated their home to Connecticut last weekend.
Patti's, role as our District Assistant Governor for Area 9, was filled by Clint Ehlers (Ambler club).
Ron will continue supporting his role as District Youth Safety Officer this Rotary year with help from Sharon Rittenhouse as Youth Safety Officer Administrator.
Please wish Ron and Patti good luck in their new home. They will be missed greatly in our district events.
As he leaves his role as Immediate Past DG, Herb Klotz will be taking on a new role serving our Rotary Zone 32.
Congratulations Herb and good luck with your new duties.
As one of our Earth Day Projects 2021 and in support of our Pedals for Progress project, we managed to keep a lot of bikes out of the landfills. Det. Andy Moretti of the Plymouth Township Police called us about a month ago to let us know he was clearing out the evidence room of unclaimed lost and found bicycles and asked if we were interested. On April 28th, with their help, the Plymouth Public Works Department provided a truck and four people to help us pick them up at the Township Building and transport them over to G L Sayre for storage. Rotarians Dave and Mark remained behind and knocked down all the bikes for shipping before stowing them away in the trailer. (We remove and attach the pedals, drop the seat, drop the handlebars and turn them 90 degrees to make the smallest possible shipping form. These bikes will go out on out next shipment this fall.
Note: Rotary Club of Norristown Digital Assets have been moved
