Week of January 25th, 2026
 

Welcome to another snow-covered Sunday morning and a new Rotary Week! 

We will be at the Bistro this Thursday where the Mayor of Mechanicsburg, John Anthony, will be our speaker. (Note, the Zoom link is different this week.)

 

Club Notes:

Our club, in conjunction with West Shore and the Passport Club, are sponsoring Rotary Means Business on February 12th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Rolls Royce Foundation museum at 189 Hempt Rd., Mechanicsburg. This is a great event and a fantastic venue, so it's a perfect opportunity to bring a friend.  (As an added bonus, there may be a chance at getting a selfie with the Mayor and First Lady of Mechanicsburg!) For more information and registration, go to the District7390 website

We need your help for our club's 2026 Purse Bingo Fundraiser on April 19th, 2026, at the Enola Fire Hall. Our top priorities now are getting sponsors and selling tickets.  We will also be planning a basket raffle, so please think about how you might support that.  There will be variety of other tasks required to make this event a success and we are counting on everyone's help.

We need more submissions for pets to be featured as “pet of the week” on our slide during Announcements and Brag Time.  (Other brag pictures accepted as well.)

 

District notes:

Our District is holding its annual Grant Training on Thursday, January 29th from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom. Having a member complete this training is a requirement to qualify for District Grants, but it's valuable for anyone who wants to learn more about the Rotary grant process. See the District website for more details, or Click here to register.

On January 27th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. the District Learning Committee will hold an on-line learning session about Rotary’s Learning Center, an incredibly useful resource that is available to all Rotarians right on their favorite personal computing device.  Click here to register TODAY!! 

The in-person District Learning Assembly will be held on March 14th from 7:30 a.m. to Noon at Messiah University. For more information, see the Rotary Reporter or the District 7390 Website. Click here to register.
