During the meeting held on August 20, 2019, Mark Auble introduced John Moritz and Cheryl Steiner to the club. They presented a program about the Wayne County Committee for Crippled Children and Adults. John is the president and Cheryl is the treasurer of the board which has approximately thirty members. The board makes decisions to offer grants that help individuals with health problems that include medical equipment, mobility concerns, prescriptions, alert systems, language assistance technology and playground equipment.
The committee was established 100 years ago with the assistance of the Rotary club of Elyria. Locally, the chapter was started in 1949 when the polio epidemic was underway. The committee was started to address orthopedic concerns and mobility assistance but has developed over the years to include other health concerns.
The committee is able to grant financial assistance that totals $50,000 - $75,000 annually. They are proud that the administrative costs are low and of every $1 donated, $0.89 is able to go to individuals that need assistance. There is an annual letter campaign that is the fundraiser for the year. The committee also receives financial donations from Orrville Rotary and Wayne and Holmes County United Way. You can learn more about this organization by visiting their website at www.wcccca.org.
Pete Kandis would like to join Rotary through our corporate membership. He works at Aultman Orrville Hospital as the executive director of operations. Pete lives in Magnolia and is married to Ashley Kandis. Wilma Raynor is Pete's sponsor and the board approved his membership. We will post information about Pete for two weeks and induct him afterwards unless any member disagrees. Please join me in welcoming Pete to our club!

On August 6th, we met with our committees and avenues and made plans for the year. We have many projects that need continued planning to improve them year after year! One July 30th, Jere Dutt presented Chuck from True Human Rights to present a program for our club.
With a 104 year history, Orrville Chamber of Commerce continues to lead as an essential resource for its members and community. Sharing an in-depth look into the local Chamber organization, its President and CEO Lori Reinbolt noted with pride that the Orrville Chamber engages 313 members in twenty-four communities in eastern Wayne County.
Caring and Compassion While Seeking Comprehension
Imagine, leaving your home country and arriving, alone, in rural Costa Rica where no one speaks your language. You meet the family you are to be staying with for two weeks. They have been told that you desire to understand their language and culture. They seem friendly enough, but they don’t understand you, and you barely understand them.
