Triple Play Evening
New Rotarian Gene Houck entertained us with his classification speech, sharing the startling discovery of a 4th child, through ancestry.com.  It turns out that being a sperm donor can have its surprises - a welcome one, in this case. Gene married his high school sweetheart and they had three children together. Sadly, they lost a son to opiod addiction ten years ago. Gene currently works as a mortgage loan officer and said that he uses the Four Way Test every day.
 
 
Past President Rich Newman was honored with his 7th Paul Harris pin and we are honored to have such a generous Rotarian among us.
 
 
 
 
Assistant District Governor, John Ortolf, illustrated how our club could take a $5000 grant and turn it into a $50,000 one. His approach was perfectly pitched, since that is what our club is doing to fund a mobile clinic for the Navaho tribe in New Mexico, with help from the ANA and other Rotary Clubs.  John also explained how with an $85/month donation to the Rotary Foundation, we can all become major donors in just ten years. Since the Rotary Foundation is one of the top rated charities in the world, this makes financial sense for the philanthropically motivated in our club. At least five of us signed up!
 
 
 
 
 
9th Annual Four Way Test Award Honorees

Rotary Club of Doylestown Announces 9th Annual Four Way Test Award Honorees

(Doylestown, Pa.) - The Rotary Club of Doylestown will honor seven adults and three high school students at their 9th Annual Four Way Test Awards Breakfast on Wednesday, April 25, 2018, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m., at the Doylestown Country Club, 20 Country Club Lane, Doylestown, Pa. 18901.

The Four Way Test asks four questions 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? These questions have been used by Rotarians for over sixty years as a guide for moral and ethical standards in business, community and personal affairs.

The Four Way Test adult honorees were chosen based on their dedication to community service and their desire to improve the lives of others. This year’s honorees are:

  • Jeane Vidoni Coyle, President and Chief Executive Officer, Penn Community Bank, will receive the Business Award for a wide variety of volunteer efforts in the community including her work as the vice chair of community impact at the United Way of Bucks County.

  • Thomas W. Smith, Jr., of Doylestown, Pa., will receive the Community Service Award for his dedication and service to Doylestown Fire Company, where he has developed and implemented procedures that safeguard the health and wellbeing of firefighters, both on and off the job.

  • Jack W. Schmidt, PhD, Professor of Music and Chair of the Liberal Arts Department at Delaware Valley University, will receive the Education Award for his work at Delaware Valley University in bringing people, both community members and students, together through music. He directs the university’s jazz band and symphonic band, is music director of the Palisades Community Chorus and associate conductor of the Doylestown Symphonic Winds.

  • Lawrence L. Woodson, Consultant and Volunteer, will receive the Honorary Rotary Service Award for his extensive volunteer work with Rotary Club of Doylestown.

    In addition to the Four Way Test Awards, three local students will be honored for essays they wrote addressing an ethical problem using the principles of the Four Way Test. This year’s student honorees are all from Central Bucks High School West:

    • Christopher Park, Chalfont, Pa.

Congressman Fitzpatrick Visits Sunrise Rotary!
 
Congressman Fitzpatrick presented at our Sunrise Meeting on March 27th.  Here he receives our Mercer Rotary Tile as a thank you!
 
 Fitzpatrick spoke at the Rotary Club of Doylestown’s Tuesday morning meeting to discuss legislative priorities effecting Bucks County and the country.  He addressed activities addressing the opioid epidemic, cyber bullying, cost of health care and school safety.  He explained that as part of the House's Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, they have passed measures that authorized federal funding to assist state and local governments with addiction prevention, recovery and law enforcement, and research and treatment. 
 
Fitzpatrick who is Vice Chairman of the task force said,  “Opioid addiction and abuse is nothing short of an epidemic.  From the toll it takes on our communities and families, to the strain on local leaders and law enforcement, this crisis is too important to let partisan politics get in the way of solutions.”
 
Dr. Mazaheri welcomes Jim Brexler, President and CEO of Doylestown Hospital
 

Dr. Mazaheri (middle) hosted members of the VIA and other DH friends for our Rotary dinner on March 28th, which featured Jim Brexler, DH President and CEO, as the speaker. Jim both entertained us and informed us with contrasts between our first hospital in 1923 and our present, rapidly expanding one. 

 

Jim told us that Doylestown Hospital is one of the top 100 hospitals in the country, with five star rated heart and  orthopedic programs. Doylestown is a great area to grow older!

 

The Village Improvement Association (VIA), which owns the hospital, got its start with a building on Oakland Street in 1923. In 1925, the Doylestown Rotary (with J. Carroll Molloy as President) established a fund to expand the hospital - just a year after the club was funded. Two years later, the $2800 fund paid for the stone addition to the building, including a modern obstetrical department, adjoining private hospital room, bathroom and dinette!

Rotarians @ Work: The Boro Dam Cleanup

 
Fifteen Doylestown Rotarians showed up in frigid weather to help community members ready the Borough Dam at Fanny Chapman Park for the youth, seniors, handicapped and Veteran fishing derbies coming up in the next few week. Our club helps to fund the events, as well as to grill up the all-day free burgers and hot dogs during the derbies.  March 31, April 28 and May 12 are the derby days, so mark your service calendars!
Celebrating the PA Rye Whiskey Tradition with Dad's Hat!
 
Dad's Hat founder, Herman Mihalich, wearing his father's fedora and holding a bottle of his company's award winning rye whiskey. Herman told us that rye whiskey has its roots in Pennsylvania, but that "rye" came to mean a low quality product, due to blending with corn whiskey and other spirits in Kentucky and Canada. At one point during the Prohibition, Turkish prune juice and coloring was marketed as "rye whiskey". Thanks to rekindled interest in re-creating the cocktails of earlier centuries, a market for the original PA rye whiskey (80% rye with 20% malt) emerged and in 2010, Herman and his co-workers were ready with a product. Dad's Hat has won awards for its fine taste, which is 100% PA derived. From the rye fields in Riegelsville to the barrels of PA oak, this whiskey makes us happy to say we're Pennsylvanians! A visit to the distillery at the Grundy Commons Complex in Bristol would be a well-attended social event.....

Meeting at the Michener!
Posted by Michael Marks on Feb 01, 2018

180131 Wednesday Meeting at the Michener

  • Wow!  What a room!  Stunning backdrop.  See pictures below. 
  • Plus museum tours to boot 
    • The dog and horse paintings at the country club are nice, but this was quite a nice aesthetic change of pace ;).

The museum's art director welcomed us

  • She wanted us to spread the word throughout the community and bring in business sponsors
  • "Art is good for business."
  • There will be a business partner membership event on May 5th.  

Allen then kicked off the meeting for the group.  

Guests:

  • Lyndsay. Carolyn Sorossi.  She and her husband own the CGR Games boutique.  
  • Gail. Michael Markowitz. Owner of Hickory Kitchen.  
    • Whereas I am apparently now Michael Marks(not-owitz).

Announcements: 

  • Max: $1000 cash prize for bringing in a host family for exchange student from Thailand.  
  • Designer house is set for May 3rd.  8 people maximum is confirmed. 
  • Interact dog biscuit sale the Saturday from 10-2 at the pet store by the Acme.  

Museum (Speed) Tour featuring the works of Henriette Wyeth.

  • Tour guide did a lovely job albeit at 3x her normal speed.  Art history in 20 minutes...go. 
  • Henriette (on-rhee-ette to those in the know ;) was apparently a child painting prodigy.  Talent ran in the family certainly, but...
  • She made a living painting portraits of local aristocrats at the tender age of only 15!  That is impressive.
  • Not a particularly happy family seemingly.  Portraits are quite good but every face has the same grim countenance.  Bit of a stretch but your are is an expression of your soul, and their souls seemed quite stoic and serious.  My two cents albeit worth maybe half of one cent at best... 

 Food

  • Tasty finger food.
  • Interesting option for future meetings versus a larger and more expensive full course meal.

Dessert

  • Ooh that was good. 
  • Cookie tray as a Rotary meeting norm? 
    • One vote for yes!

The Room

  • More, please. 
  • I'd like to live there.  Drafty but worth the view.
  • Yes I am talking to their event specialist to see how we can frequent there more often! ;)
  • Goodwill, culture and beauty.  What a combination...

Events Calendar

  • I need your help...
  • If you know of an upcoming participatory event (Car, Show, 4WT, Interact, Volunteer, Home Building, etc), please forward the date and details to me.
  • I am trying to put together a comprehensive events calendar beyond the T/W meetings.  
  • I may email you this same message, though I know this group, and given past history the Reply All's will approach infinity and push my levels of sanity beyond the point of no return.

Great seeing everyone last night.  Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Member Announcements

  • Inge's daughter has been in Rawanda since 2016. In the Peace Corp focusing on education. She is a boarding school teacher there. She is there trying to raise money for a community basketball court and also to create a communal effort to make the court more gender neutral to allow girls to play as well. They are trying to raise $7200.  Always lovely to hear young folks with such generous outlooks.
  • Karen.  Switched banks! Note her address change on the Rotary website. 
  • Linda. 4WT committee has chosen its invitees, who have been notified.

John Fitch Presentation

  • John Fitch, for reasons unknown, ended up in Warminster (although that sentiment seems to be held for the next 200 years as per local Warminsterians...)
  • John was apparently a brilliant ne'er do well 
    • His apprenticeship fails
    • He tries surveying.  His three years of work covering a very large area is rejected by the government. He is however given 1600 acres instead of money.
    • John is captured by Indians on his way to New Orleans to sell flour. 
  • However, his steam boat idea struck him, seemingly randomly, while walking with his friend in Warminster from the Neshaminy Meeting house.  
  • He finds that the Newcomen steam engine was already invented in 1712 for mine clearing. 
  • Presents his first steamboat model to Ben Franklin in 1785 at the American Philosophical Society. 
  • Fitch raised $300 from fellow craftsmen. Craftsmen had not access to upper echelon contacts or wealth.
  • Launched his first steamboat in 1787. Used a paddle mechanism to mimic canoe travel. 
  • He raised no money beyond that, but did get himself a six state monopoly for 17 years.  
  • Ironically the day he tried to patent the steamboat after years of successful trips, he finds three other interlopers saying they also invented the patent (human deviancy never seems to disappoint).  All four parties are granted patents.  
  • Still he owned 1600 acres earned from his surveying.
  • He predicted that steam powered boats would cross the ocean and eventually power cars.  He was well over 200 years ahead of his time. 
  • First successful steamboat launched in 1807.
  • Well done.  Interesting presentation.  Thank you Erik

This Week's Rotary Meetings
Posted by Gail on Jan 05, 2018

CB East and Kenyon College graduate, Kevin Magee, spoke to both meetings this week about his adventures as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. He works as a Spanish educator in a village at the DR border with Haiti, in the north of the island. Coincidentally, the Engineers without Borders Water Project that we agreed to help fund is located nearby, in Machete. Because Kevin attended a Sunrise Rotary meeting last year and learned about the water project, he decided to visit it and give us a report. The day he arrived for his tour was the day RI awarded $60K for the project. There is a pipe already installed where the water pump will be located and he learned that water will be piped to the top of a nearby hill for distribution via gravity to the towns nearby. He told us that this project will be life-changing for the people involved, who currently travel to a local river for water. Kudos to Kevin for making the trip to bring us news of our Rotary Fundraising at work!

Scholarship recipient Kelly Cyliax spoke to us about her first semester at Mary Washington University. She is active on the college softball team, having captained the CB West team last year. Her coach encourages the team to connect with the community for social good, which Kelly is really enjoying. There is no Rotary Club at MWU, but Kelly has reached out to local clubs in Vicksburg and -who knows - she may just start one!

 

Congratulations Nick for 50 years!
Club President Allen Childs  and District Governor Rick Gromis present Nick Molloy with commendations from Rotary International President Ian Riseley and a celebratory Rotary cake for Nick's 50th anniversary with the Rotary Club of Doylestown! 
 
 

Nick joined our club Dec 7th, 1967 and for 32 years, he never missed a weekly Rotary meeting. For some time, three generations of Molloys were in the Doylestown Club at one time - surely a club record! He started as Sergeant at Arms and progressed through almost every role, including Club President in 1972. During his Presidency, the club started Walkathons for the March of Dimes that raised $150K over a five year period. The club ran a chicken barbecue to raise money for the VIA and held a Christmas party for deserving children. He continues to serve as the Memorial Day Parade organizer, arranging for 10 new Fred Beans Mustangs to showcase our Veterans every year.

Nick was know for his skills with sticks and little white balls, bringing the District Golf Trophy back to the Doylestown Club, time and time again. The "Molloy bounce" described his good luck on the course, in the club and in life, with his wife, Bert, and his children.
 
A great evening was shared with his family, club members...and past club members such as George Kennedy!  Great laughs with stories shared, and a good time had by all!  And a wonderful celebration of Nick's leadership and contribution to our community and club!

The Four Way Test

What is
“The Four Way Test”?
Of the things we think, say or do …
  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all Concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. 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.
