Doylestown Rotary Continues Philanthropic Commitment by Awarding $36K in Grants

Posted on Jul 08, 2020

The Rotary Club of Doylestown continues its philanthropic commitment to the community by awarding $36,000 in grants to eleven charitable organizations and efforts.

Eight of the grantees were selected through Doylestown Rotary's annual RFP process, and three grantees were previously chosen to receive ongoing grants. Each year, Doylestown Rotary holds various fundraising events to raise money to support local nonprofit organizations and capital projects focused on promoting peace, providing addiction education, deterring expressions of hate, and helping families at risk and victims of abuse.

Raising our awareness of Racism - the first in a series. June 10, 2020

Our club meeting on June 10, 2020 initiated what we hope will be an ongoing discussion about Black History and current racial tensions, as we search for a way to make positive change, in our communities and in ourselves. We asked four Rotarians of minority ethnic heritage from our club to participate and three were able to join us: Doylestown Attorney Melissa Bond, Non-profit Executive Ify Aduba and Financial Advisor Kal Patel. Doylestown Rotarian and Peace Center President, Connie Keener, moderated the panel discussion. Our panelists shared history along with personal experiences and when the question was asked, "what can we as a Rotary Club do to make a difference?", the answer was education. Whether in the form of scholarships for Bucks County students to attend Black Colleges, which are financially hurting right now, or some other means, the outcome of the meeting gave a us a direction to head. Thank you Connie, Melissa, Ify, and Kal for a wonderful presentation and thank you to Janet Kolepp (our next DG) from the Bethlehem Morning Star Club, DGN Bob Hobaugh from Kutztown, PE Dan Watson-Bey from Harleysville, PE Mindi Vogel from Blue Bell, PP Bob Powers from Hatboro, and AG Patti Smith from Blue Bell for joining our discussion!

World Immunization Week: Rotary's Focus on Disease Prevention and Treatment

Now more than ever, we recognize the importance of effective vaccines to protect against disease. As scientists work to develop one to protect all of us from the new coronavirus, we recognize how far we have come this World Immunization Week, April 24th - 30th, and encourage everyone to immunize their children and themselves against preventable diseases.

The Rotary Foundation has a long history of funding disease prevention and treatment projects that focus on health issues that impact vulnerable communities, like our polio eradication efforts. Successes in these areas have helped us address other global health challenges, including the spread of the coronavirus.

Learn how our work fighting polio is supporting the COVID-19 response in communities worldwide.

What is

“The Four Way Test”?

Of the things we think, say or do …

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all Concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to All Concerned?

The Four Way Test is the key to being a Rotarian. It reminds us that we practice high ethical standards in our everyday lives. We believe that if we can promote The Four Way Test to our community it will benefit all of us.
