Meet Our Fellow Rotarians
At our recent luncheon, "Meet Our Fellow Rotarians" we enjoyed a truly inspiring session as we heard from members of our club: Melissa Woodard – Superintendent of Wyomissing Area School District, Paul Ott - Retired Penske CFO, and Nannette Klase – General Manager, Hampton by Hilton Reading. Each of them captivated us with heartfelt stories about their professional journeys, family lives, and what being a Rotarian means to them. Their presentations not only offered meaningful insights into their unique backgrounds and passions but also ignited enthusiasm for getting involved and making a difference together.

WRWR Club Contest

Wilson School District Interact Club had an amazing Eggstravaganza geared towards students across Berks County who are differently abled. Students are paired up with buddies who assist them in hunting eggs. There were prized eggs, ice cream, other activities, and of course the Easter Bunny. The Club supported Interact by contributing candy and special gifts for the participants. Every child deserves to participate in the fun of a holiday easter egg hunt. Click Here for pictures.
