CWHS May Students of the Month + Rotaplast Program

We honored our May Conrad Weiser High School students of the month, Crystal Kaczmarczyk and Mason Wolfskil, at our lunch meeting yesterdayl. Crystal and Mason are an integral part of Conrad Weiser, involved in many extra-curricular activities; they demonstrate what we love to see in students: hard work and determination! Congratulations, Crystal and Mason.

Our program was Louise Zawadzki, chairperson of our Rotary District's Rotaplast Committee, who shared recent news on Rotaplast and gave a presentation on the most recent mission trip to Venezuela. What is Rotaplast, you ask? It is the non-profit humanitarian organization providing free reconstructive cleft-palate operations and treatment for children in need worldwide. Rotaplast seeks to provide longtime solutions by funding and
coordinating surgical missions in developing countries; training and mentoring local physicians; launching public education projects; and advancing research.

Our Club happily donates to Rotaplast each year, in order to realize Rotaplast Internatinal's goal to eliminate the incidence of untreated cleft lips and palates in children
worldwide by the year 2025.

4 Way Test Speech Contest Results

The Four Way Test Speech Contest is a competition for 9-12 graders that requires each participating student to create and present a 5-7 minute speech on a subject of their choice, applying the Rotary Four Way Test to guide their thinking and their actions.

The contest is a three-level contest, with Club Contest First Place finishers advancing to one of four Regional Contests and those four First Place finishers advancing to the finals at the District 7430 Conference.

Rachel Maurer, Leaugeay Genduso, Olivia Scholl and Kwis Montinard presented at the CW Rotary Club Contest last month. They were all wonderful speeches, covering a wide range of topics, that "wowed" our members! They all took home a cash prize and certificates, but Rachel was able to move on to this past weekend's Regional Contest, in which she placed 2nd and took home more $!

A special thank you to Kathy Mohn at Conrad Weiser High School for coordinating this! Congratulations to our Club Contest participants, and to Rachel for placing 2nd in the Regional Contest!

Million Dollar Journey Celebration Dinner

We celebrated the conclusion of our Rotary District's two-year "Million Dollar Journey" that raised $2.5+ million in donations to the Rotary Foundation. Rotary International President Ravi Ravindran from Sri Lanka, as well as RI Directors Julia and Mike were present. Congratulations to District Governor Doug and his Committee for a successful event!

One of our former members, Jane Ludwig Worley, was recognized in the program as having been a Major Donor during her lifetime. Jane died in 2008, but her name and legacy are carried through the CW High School Scholarship we present each year, the "Jane L. Worley Conrad Weiser Rotary Club Scholarship."

Jane Worley Memorial Conrad Weiser Rotary Club Scholarship Recipient

Every year, our club awards the Jane Worley Memorial Conrad Weiser Rotary Club Scholarship at the CWHS Senior Awards to a extraordinary student who has devoted much of his or her life to community service through extra-curricular organizations in high school, as well as within the Conrad Weiser community.

Jane Ludwig Worley was a longtime member of the club who was an ardent supporter of all things Rotary. An avid world traveler, Jane visited the local Rotary clubs wherever she would be visiting, then would share stories when she returned home.

Pictured is President-Elect Keegan, Jane's grandson, who presented to to this year's recipient, Rachel Rathman. Rachel, a Rotary Student of the Month, logged over 280 hours of community service over the course of her high school career by volunteering at Hain’s Church, Little Scouts Field Hockey, Womelsdorf Swim Team and Mini-THON. She was accepted to the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange and will be spending the next year in Germany attending a Language Training School, High School and working at an internship.

HELP US ERADICATE POLIO - CASINO NIGHT 2016

HELP US ERADICATE POLIO!

Four Rotary Clubs in Berks County—Conrad Weiser, Mount Penn, Spring Township, and West Reading/Wyomissing—will be sponsoring the 7th Annual Casino Night at the Crowne Plaza on February 27th from 6-10 pm. Local businesses will be sponsoring the gaming tables, along with donations of gift baskets, gift certificates and larger items for the silent auction. All of these help the fundraising efforts, which, in previous years, has yielded thousands of dollars toward the goal of ending polio.

Polio is a cruel disease that was once prevalent throughout the world. The virus invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. It can strike at any age but mainly affects children under five. Polio is incurable, but completely vaccine-preventable.

With the help of over $1.5 billion contributed by Rotary and the countless volunteer hours to assist immunization efforts, fewer than 370 polio cases were reported in all of 2014. Compare that to the 1980’s, when 1000 cases per day were not uncommon, and it becomes evident that the efforts have been successful. Today, there are only two countries that have never stopped transmission of the wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Yet, despite the undeniable success of the Rotary program, the goal remains to eradicate this paralyzing and potentially fatal disease. Toward that goal, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was formed in 1988. It is a public-private partnership that includes Rotary, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and governments of the world. Every dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication will be matched two-to-one by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation up to $35 million a year through 2018. These funds help to provide much-needed operational support, medical personnel, laboratory equipment, and educational materials for health workers and parents.

Until polio is eradicated, all countries remain at risk of outbreaks. So, the work continues to reach that goal through large foundations and many smaller, local events like Casino Night. This is the only opportunity to “gamble” where everybody wins…most importantly, all those children worldwide who will not suffer from polio.

#GivingTuesday - Welcoming District Governor Doug Cook

We recently welcomed our Rotary District Governor, Doug Cook, who spoke to us on the initiatives he, with his District's help, has been tackling this year.

His focus is "Fighting Hunger," so our club thought it best not only to present a check to the Conrad Weiser Food Pantry in Doug's name, but also to welcome him with more than a dozen bags of non-perishable food products to also be donated to the CW Food Pantry.

Continuing Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self."
