Dear fellow Rotarians,
 
Well, we did it again… Another fabulous lunch meeting with 24 attendees sharing positive vibes and great information sharing. I would like to acknowledge a few of our members who are also doing great things for our community through their own businesses… Congratulations to Kristine Quinby of Potential Inc. for raising over $20,000 from their annual car show. And kudos to Mark Gatta and Volkan Andic of Opus Elite Real Estate for raising $25,500 for the Barkan Foundation from portions of real estate closings they’ve had this year. This is just another fine example of what Rotarians do… Service above self and helping others in need. 
 
Speaking of those in need… We had a tremendous turnout for our semi annual food drive at McCaffrey‘s benefiting the Wrightstown food cupboard. Local resident, friend of the Rotary and philanthropist Gene and Marlene Epstein have graciously challenged our community to match any cash donation up to $1000 over the next 10 days… If anyone would like to make a donation on their own, please do so either by check or Venmo. Like the old saying goes, many hands make lighter work, I would like to thank all of you who have volunteered your time on a Saturday to help make this service project a raging success. 
 
Our Newtown Rotary Club has officially welcomed our newest members this past lunch meeting…
Tracy Bowen, Mark Gatta, Volkan Andic and Ale
 
I’d like to give a big shout out to our very own Stephanie Eubanks and Danielle Wittig, co-chairs for the 2023 hope on the vine/70th year anniversary gala… they have put together a tremendous team of Rotarians and this events original cofounders. Please stay tuned as this is going to be the event of the year…
Please make sure you save the date for Friday, April 14, 2023 @ Rafters
 
Please join us for what’s going to be another amazing lunch meeting this Wednesday at the Temperance House @ 12:15 PM when we welcome our guest speakers from the Neighborhood Outreach Foundation.
