Volunteers are needed for Kutztown Day August 2!
 
We man the collection buckets during the concerts at the band shell (12:00-2:00 and 5:00 to 8:15) and we will have a tent set up the whole day to sell Dinner for 2 anywhere in the world ticket the whole day next to the band shell. In addition, we will be sponsoring a pickleball clinic at the bottom of the park and will have some younger volunteers providing an activity for kids there as well.
 
Please consider coming out and helping out at some point during the day. We need a lot of volunteers to make the day a success. Please follow this link to sign up.

No meeting last Wednesday, July 1 
for the District Changeover
 
A few Kutztown Rotarians joined the District Changeover fun to see the installation of Jeremaih Sensenig as the new District Governor for 7430. It was a lovely ceremony, including the "Passing of the Gavel" in which our own Bob Hobaugh participated as a past District Governor. The Kutztown Club even got a call out as one of the Clubs that achieved the Club Excellence Award last year. Go Kutztown! 
 
 
 
CENTENNIAL SERVICE PROJECTS FOR THE
ROTARY SEVEN AREAS OF FOCUS!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February is Peacebuilding & Conflict Prevention
A Rotary Peace Pole will be coming to our community!
Look for an unveiling ceremony at the Bowers Park coming soon!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

March is Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene 

We partnered with Help a Girl Out USA in a collection drive throughout February which was sorted and donated in March.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April is Environmental
We have been collecting plastic since last summer and will be placing benches in both the Kutztown and Topton locations this coming year.
Please email or text your picture and the weight to Melissa Kirk or Laura McBride to 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!

July is Maternal and Child Health
