Every year, just before Spring arrives, Doylestown Rotarians sculpt the gardens at the Borough Dam with rakes and mulch. Pictured below are our current President, Alex Nocella, in the truck with her mom helping, Exchange Student Mads-Emil from Denmark, President -Elect Helen Amelsberg, Andree Amelsberg, Ken Snyder, and Steve Adelman (the Four Amigos), Bob Eichfeld and John Ortolf enjoying a break, a group shot including Cheryl Deblecourt and Gail Linenberg. Lastly, the Doylestown Fishing Derby co-director, Gerry Higgins, with Steve Bird, stand under the Rotary flag that salutes our club's financial and physical involvement in Borough Dam projects.       | ||
 At the November 21st Doylestown Borough Council Meeting, Dave Windholtz and Mike Stachel were recognized for their parts in creating the local institution known as the Borough Dam Fishing Project. Representative Fitzpatrick had their story written into the congressional record and gave them each a flag that had flown over the Capitol. Our club honored them with Paul Harris Fellows and explained what the honor meant. And, the Borough's Proclamation detailed how the project was initiated by Dave in 1954, then rescued by Mike in the early 1990's. The fishing project is a signature event in our town, thanks in large part to Dave and Mike. It is currently being managed by our club, local volunteers, and the Borough. | |

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.
