Uptown York Rotary Club and Collusion Launch York 275 beer for Pints for Polio![]() Join Uptown York Rotary Club to eradicate polio on Tuesday, November 26 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Collusion Tap Works, 105 South Howard Street, York, PA. Enjoy a special beer crafted by the brewmaster at Collusion Tap Works, and released for our event! A portion of the proceeds from sales of "York 275" through December will go to end polio. Donations to the Rotary Foundation's Polio Plus fund will also be accepted. Created to celebrate the 275th Anniversary of York County, York 275 transports you directly to a bar stool in a classic English Pub. This beer is light bodied, supremely well balanced and full of malt flavor. Mild hop bitterness blends with the biscuit malts to give this old world style a new, fresh perspective. Pairs perfectly with bangers and mash, fish and chips and long conversations with friends. |

Holiday Pints for Polio![]() Uptown York Rotary Club Partners with Collusion Tap Works to Help Eradicate Polio Members of Uptown Rotary are pleased to work with our friends at Collusion to present a holiday take on the Octoberfest tradition of Pints for Polio! This annual fundraiser encourages local Rotary clubs, community businesses, and individuals to join Rotary International in their world-wide effort to eradicate polio. Collusion Tap Works is not new to Pints, having collaborated in two previous years by presenting “The Eradicator” and "NoMo Polio" – brews especially crafted for the event. This year we are excited and honored to launch our Holiday Pints for Polio campaign in conjunction with the introduction of a new brew to the Collusion tap line-up: “S’Mores Love.” S’Mores Love, a light stout, has a special place in the Collusion story: Jared Barnes, brewmaster, created this blend specifically for his wedding day in honor of his wife and a family camping tradition. We are inspired by the seasonal message that S’Mores Love brings to Pints for Polio! Join us on Thursday, November 30, 2023 from 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. for the launch of S’Mores Love and Pints for Polio at the Collusion Tap Works brewpub, 105 S. Howard Street, in the Royal Square district of downtown York, PA. Raise a glass, enjoy fellowship, and learn more about the fight to end polio. Donations and a portion of the sales of S’Mores Love during the launch party and for the rest of the holiday season will be donated to the Rotary International PolioPlus campaign. |

A Club That Trots Together. . . .Since our normal Club meeting day is Thursday, we did not have an "official" Rotary Club meeting on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 26, 2015. However, a large number of our members participated in a cherished York tradition--the Turkey Trot sponsored by the York YMCA. This 5K race the morning of Thanksgiving gave us a chance to share Rotary cheer with our fellow members, and we even caught a photo of many of us at the finish line! You know what they say. . . . "A club that trots together, is AWESOME!"

GOOD COLLABORATION NETS GOOD FORUM
Posted by Genevieve Ray on Apr 20, 2015
When members of Uptown York Rotary Club decided that as one of our community service projects, we would sponsor a forum for candidates on the ballot for County Commissioner and York City Council, we thought it would be a better program if we involved other groups that might bring more points of view into the planning. So we asked Downtown Inc. and the Alliance of Neighborhood Associations (ANA) to join us as co-sponsors, and asked their help in putting on the event and in developing a good, meaty set of questions to ask the candidates. The Forum, held on April 20, turned out well. Ben Moylan and Lewis Delauder from the Alliance, Sonia Huntzinger from Downtown Inc and David Corman from Uptown leaped into action on the planning committee, joined by Uptown’s president, Victoria Connor, and Rotarians Kevin Cysyk and Rob Bernhard. The School District of the City of York loaned us not only the sound system that gave every candidate a microphone, it loaned us able sound engineer Chris Touras. We had marvelous cooperation from the Yorktowne Hotel’s Rick Cunningham, Leslie Einhorn Ravitz and Chef Derek, who prepared a special “quick bites” menu for the evening at the OffCenter Grill. Finally, we wrapped it up with an excellent emcee, Victoria Connor; two superb moderators, Sonia Huntzinger for the County Commissioners’ forum and Ben Moylan for the City Council forum. The ANA’s Mary Anne Bacas and Uptown’s Jim Singleton rounded out the work crew to assure that the event went smoothly. Most importantly, all of the candidates agreed to participate and accepted with good humor our stipulation that they must prepare and deliver an “Elevator Speech” consisting of no more than 27 words, deliverable in 9 seconds, and covering 3 points. All 11 candidates even turned in their speeches on or before the deadline we gave them! Thanks to all who helped us provide this service to citizens -- those who attended the forum, as well as those who learn about it via post-forum coverage from the City’s White Rose TV and from both local newspapers. We urge everyone to vote in the Primary Election on May 19th. Genevieve Ray |

Gear Garden painting project!
Posted by Victoria Connor
Uptown York Rotary Club members raising spirits through community service by sprucing up the Gear Garden! Very appropriate that our club has adopted this park as our ongoing service project as, not only is it located uptown, the Rotary logo is also gear!! Affixed to the coat lapels of men and women in lands around the world is a wheel with six spokes, twenty-four cogways and a keyway. It identifies the wearer as a Rotarian, one of more than 1.2 million business and professional executives who belong to more than 30,000 Rotary Clubs in more than 160 countries on six continents. The basic design of the emblem, the wheel, dates back to 1905, the year the first Rotary Club was organized in Chicago, Illinois. Shortly after the formation of the Chicago Club, the members submitted recommendations based upon the wheel which they believed would best symbolize the character of the new organization. Designs ranged from simple buggy wheels to elaborate locomotive wheels. Some incorporated clouds into the design. One even superimposed a ribbon emblazoned with the inscription “Rotary Club”. In 1910, when the National Association of Rotary Clubs was formed, they discovered almost as many designs as there were Clubs. Prior to the 1912 convention in Duluth, Minnesota, the national headquarters invited all Clubs to submit recommendations for an emblem based upon the wheel. Together, they selected a gear wheel in royal blue and gold as Rotary’s official emblem. It survived untouched for only eight years. Engineers quickly recognized that Rotary’s new gearlike emblem was mechanically unsound; it could do no work because it lacked a keyway by which it could be locked to a shaft. Following several years of study, the Rotary emblem as we presently know it was adopted in 1923. The gear was no longer an idler, but was now capable of transmitting power to or from a shaft. The wheel had been “turned on”, and it has been rolling ever since…
