PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

With Oktoberfest this weekend, we need all hands on deck. The Beer Tent is not only the highlight of the festival—it’s also the single most important way we raise the funds that fuel our service projects all year long.

That’s why I’m asking each of you to step up. If you can’t make it yourself, please recruit a friend, family member, or coworker to take a shift. (Yes, I’m giving you permission to guilt them a little—it’s for the community!) We simply can’t pull this off without everyone pitching in. Volunteer BY CLICKING HERE!

Not around for Oktoberfest? No worries—you can still sign up for Horsham Rotary’s 5K Race Back to Zero. (Don’t want to run? Come join me for a good old-fashioned “wog” – a walk/jog!)

Together, we’ll raise the funds that support our local organizations and strengthen our community. Thank you in advance for rolling up your sleeves and showing what our Rotary family is all about.

Let’s make this season unforgettable!

Yours in Rotary,
Tara

ROTARY SPOTLIGHTS

• Shout out to everyone who came and volunteered at Ambler's First Friday and the Lower Gwynedd Fall Fest! With the smaller-sized event, we didn't hit Oktoberfest/Music Fest revenue numbers, but we made a solid showing and are looking forward to participating in future First Fridays!

Books 4 Girls and Boys! Ambler Rotary President Tara Bevivino and Rotarian Anne Frank visit the Wissahickon Boys and Girls club for a tour of their amazing new facility.  Afterwards, Wissahickon Valley librarians met with the Boys and Girls Staff to discuss their collaboration in purchasing diverse books for classrooms through Rotary's $2,000 grant.
