We have a host home but need one more!
The Rotary Club of West Reading -Wyomissing has been assigned a female from Brazil as our 2017-18 Rotary Youth Exchange Student. Any member of the club who wishes to help with our exchange student, or knows someone who could host this student for the 2017-18 school year, please see Carolyne Jordan. Each family will host for approximately 3-4 months. For more information, email ship934me@gmail.com.
We welcomed Tiffany Miller from Berks Connections / Pretrial Services to our meeting. The organization assists incarcerated people as they return to life in the community. Guidance is also provided for their families.
Our local hero, Wyomissing Police Sgt. David Ravel, was recognized for his service to our community!

To accomplish this record-breaking feat, they will be recruiting 1,000 volunteers and offering two different shifts: June 16 from 6 to 9 p.m. and June 17 from 9 a.m. to noon. Save the date now!

Rotary District 7430 will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation with an evening filled with dinner and dancing on Saturday, March 11, 2017, from 6 -10 p.m. at the PineCrest Country Club, 101 Country Club Drive, Lansdale, PA 19446.
In order to raise money for The Rotary Foundation, we will be having a live and silent auction at the event.
We are asking each club to donate a basket with a value of $100 for the silent auction with an “Experience” theme. Some examples of basket items for the silent auction are as follows: Golf certificates, tickets for sporting events (Phillies, Iron Pigs, etc.), wine, beer or liquor baskets, restaurant gift certificates and Designer Purses.
We would like to keep the live auction at a minimum with approximately six items. We have already secured a Balloon ride for two. Other examples for the live auction are Dinner in your home for 8 – 10 people prepared by a local chef, Theater tickets (New York, Philadelphia or State Theater in Easton), a getaway weekend at a Bed and Breakfast.
Anyone who purchases an auction item will have those funds donated in their name to the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund. An auction acquisition form is attached for your convenience.
All donations and baskets must be received by Saturday, February 11, 2017. The Rotary Foundation Coordinators will be in touch with each club in the very near future and will provide further details for basket drop off points throughout the District. The acquisition form must accompany all donations and baskets. Any donations received after February 11th will be accepted but will not be included in the program booklet.
