On November 14th, a dozen warm-hearted Rotarians, family, and friends worked a shift at the food pantry, helping customers fill their trunks with foods of their choice and an assortment of staples. This is the second annual DRYP-organized opportunity for service at the food pantry and the club hopes to build on the experience! Want to join us?

The Rotary Club of Doylestown is a volunteer service organization whose members donate their time and resources to help others in the community and throughout the world. Join us and discover the spirit of Rotary.
Our club celebrated the holidays in true Rotary style - with Paul Harris tributes to non-Rotarians Nick Lamelza, Tom Brunt, and to Wendy Stottlar, posthumously (her children accepted the honor), as a way to thank them for the gifts of time and talent they have offered the club for many, many years. Then we competed with Christmas trivia, sang for our dinner, and made merry for the first time in many moons. It was exhilarating to all be together again. Thank you, Rick Millham, Helen Amelsberg, and Peter Quigley for an entertaining evening of cheer!

Remember back 2 years ago, to our Boro Dam Clean-up and 3 Fishing Derbies held mid-March through mid-May? Wow, we all miss that fun time together, watching the joyful faces of kids, seniors, Vets, and the handicapped hauling in a huge trout or bass.
This year, again, the derbies have been cancelled, but we will clean-up as usual. Please join us with friends and family to rake up leaves and sticks, then mulch the garden areas. Bring rakes, gloves, and a smile. We'll gather a 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 17th and we usually finish up by 9:30 or so. Don't miss it. We all want to see each other without a computer screen in front of us....
