Meeting this week, Wednesday, October 7
will be student of the month
in the Kutztown Tavern club room.
Each month the Kutztown Rotary Club recognizes one outstanding student each from Kutztown Area High School and Brandywine Heights Area High School. These students are selected by their school administrators and are often picked for significant improvement or overcoming challenges, accomplishments in academics, school participation, and community contributions. These students never fail to impress Rotarians with their positive impact on our community. Dinner for the student, two parents, and one school administrator will be paid for by the club - additional family and representatives from the school are always welcome.
Meet at 6:00 to get a drink and socialize. We order dinner at 6:20, followed by invocation and club news.
Meeting will be hybrid - both live and zoom. Please send an email to Melissa (or let someone else know) if you will be joining the zoom call - there will be a waiting room added for extra security.
Follow this link to sign up for items you want to bring to the club assembly meeting in the Kutztown Tavern Club Room on November 11 to create Thanksgiving holiday boxes for Friend, Inc. We are aiming to create 12 Thanksgiving boxes for area families in need and are providing suggested items on the list, along with a few blank rows for additional items people want to donate.
Spread the word for our upcoming blood drive at the Kempton Fire Company on Wednesday, December 16th. Stay tuned for more ways to volunteer!

Last Week for the Kutztown Rotary Club
Wednesday, September 30, was a club field trip to the
Longswamp Historical Society Museum.
We would like to give a big think you to Ellie Long for providing a tour of this very interesting museum in the Longswamp Township Park. The Rotary Club had a lovely visit and we strongly encourage the community to visit and support the museum.
Visit this link to learn more about the Longswamp Historical Society.
We have been collecting plastic since last summer and have so far gotten one bench which was placed at the Boyer Park along with our Peace Pole on September 2.
Please email or text your picture and the weight toMelissa Kirk or Laura McBrideto get it recorded at NexTrex.
Although we had 4 entries in the Q2 drawing we did not win a prize in the drawing. But we did recycle a lot of plastic and did a bit of good for the environment!
To celebrate this area of focus, the Kutztown Rotary Club held a baby bundles drive in the months of July and August and, along with the Strand Theater, sponsored a double feature movie for the community to view a movie in exchange for a baby item donation.
Members delivered the Baby Bundles donation items to Friend, Inc and got a tour of the fabulous new facility. We enjoyed a pizza dinner from Tommy Boys and got to hear all about the renovations (current and future) and the amazing big plans Friend has to help the community.
Please follow this link to see more pictures of the Baby Bundles Drive.
