Schedule of events
Join the Rotary once again on Collegeville's Main Street for this great event. There is no need to register for costume judging or the parade - just bring your costumed children (or pet), and meet in the parking lot behind the AmeriGreen Gas Station and Chow Bistro (454 E. Main) at 6 pm. This year the Rotary is expanding the Halloween dress up contest beyond dogs to all pets. Judging is from 6 to 6:25 p.m. in the parking lot. The parade begins its walk down Main St. at 6:30 p.m.
Ursinus College is providing free parking in the Corson Hall lot for parade goers. New this year is that the student activities board will also provide crafts and activities for young children prior to the parade from 5 p.m. on the front lawn of the Berman Art Museum.
The parade has expanded this year to include the PVHS marching band and PVHS cheerleaders. The Keystone Grange is parading antique tractors. The Collegeville and Trappe Fire Companies and ambulances will finish the parade. For the finale, Mrs. Claus arrives in a Collegeville Fire Company fire engine.
For those preferring to just watch, bring a chair and pick a spot along Collegeville's Main St. from Chow Bistro to My Friend's Tavern. In the event of rain, the Halloween Parade will be held on Thursday, Oct. 26th. For more information, contact Rotarian Karen McCaslin at (610) 547-1386.

Robotics in Industry
Jan. 24, 2018
Dr. Lee Shorter is Director, Disruptive Technology Seekers, Platform Technology and Science at GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals (GSK). In his position, Dr. Shorter seeks disruptive technologies and emerging sciences from academics, biotechs, engineering and designing firms, large established technology-based companies and other innovation centers, particularly from outside the Pharma space. Dr. Shorter is responsible for developing programs with external organizations to simplify chemical and pharmaceutical processes of dosage form development and manufacture. Prior to joining GSK Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Shorter was a Director in the Open Innovation Team at GSK Consumer Healthcare. Dr. Shorter was an American Heart Association Fellow. He obtained his BS degree in Chemistry from Washington College in Maryland and his Ph. D. in Biolnorganic Chemistry from the University of Maryland. The rate of change in business continues to accelerate. The fact is no business, by itself, can keep up. That is why companies like GlaxoSmithKline form partnerships with suppliers, customers, universi-ties, and consultants. Dr. Shorter is at the forefront of understanding the technology needs in the pharmaceutical industry. And, he is finding that many of those needs are coming from outside his own industry. For example, did you know that printer inkjet technology (think Hewlett-Packard) is now being used to make 3 dimensional objects like synthetic human organs for transplanting and silk pants for ladies? Come and listen to Dr. Shorter and he will give you a look into the future. As a future business leader, you need to hear and experience the idea of disruptive technology and how it will impact your future! Additional Information: |
