Wayne County Committee for Crippled Children and Adults.png) 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. |

Rotary Parade of Flags Expand into Downtown Orrville
Orrville Rotary’s Parade of Flags project will experience a major growth spurt in 2015. Plans have been finalized to incorporate the traditional downtown flag display into Rotary’s Parade of Flags program. For many years, Orrville Boy Scouts have erected approximately 45 American flags on wooden poles throughout the downtown district, in the sidewalk holes incorporated into Orrville’s streetscape project several years ago. The existing flags were in need of replacement, and the old heavy wooden poles have presented a storage problem; so Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce President Lori Reinbolt helped craft a solution that was a win/ win for everyone. The Orrville Area Development Foundation approved funding for replacement fl ags, and the Chamber entered into an agreement with the Orrville Rotary Club to fold the downtown flag locations into their citywide Parade of Flags. Boy Scout troop 60 will partner with the club to again display the new flags over Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriots’ Day (Sept. 11) and Veterans’ Day. Orrville Plumbing and Heating has donated materials to adapt the existing fl ag display holes to the size of the new flagpoles, which are aluminum, not wood. The new program will launch next month in time for the Memorial Day holiday. There is still time to renew or purchase a fl ag subscription for the 2015 Parade of Flags. In addition to the application printed on this page, Orrville area residents can pick up additional flag subscription forms at Buehlers’ Community table or at Heartland Point. Flag subscriptions can also be purchased or renewed online at www.orrvilleflags.org. The club is also offering flag sponsorships for cemetery flags at either Orr or Crown Hill Cemetery. Pricing for all flags is $30 for 2015 or $55 for 2015 and 2016. Questions about the flag program or your existing subscription can be directed to orrvilleflags@gmail.com or to Orrville Rotarian Jack Runion at 330-465-5396. |
