Our club is proud to host the annual 5K Turkey Trot Run/Walk again this year. It is sure to be fun for all ages. The proceeds from this fundraising events will be used to support various projects in the community including Daily Bread Community Food Pantry (dailybreadcommunityfoodpantry.org)
Holidays are a great time to enjoy with family and friendship. However, it is also a very stressful time for families that are food insecure. Your participation and contribution will give much needed help to the less fortunate people in our community.
We urge all of you to join. You can join as an individual, family or a group. Your company can also sponsor by signing up a group of runners or providing financial sponsorship. You can find additional details by clicking on the link to the brochure below:
Sign-up by Nov 9 to receive a free long sleeve Tech shirt.

World Environment Day movement started more than 40 years ago. The annual day of action embraces smaller and less-developed nations while tackling even bigger topics: from sustainable consumption to the illegal trade in wildlife. Since its beginning in 1974, World Environment Day has developed into a global platform for raising awareness and taking action on urgent issues from marine pollution and global warming to sustainable consumption and wildlife crime. Millions of people have taken part over the years, helping drive change in our consumption habits as well as in national and international environmental policy.
Members of the Collegeville Rotary Club would like to congratulate the dedicated men and women of the Collegeville Fire Company on their newly built firehouse. This has taken many years of effort and is finally completed. This new firehouse is a tremendous asset to the community and serves to ensure the safety of the citizens of this community.

Thanks for all that participated.

For more than 50 years, the Collegeville Rotary Club has sponsored the Halloween Parade. Join us, once again, on October 28 on Main Street for this event. There is no need to register for costume judging or the parade - just bring your children (or pet), and meet behind CHOWs (454 E. Main) at 6 pm. If you prefer to just watch, pull out a chair and line the street from CHOW to the Pretzel Factory. The parade starts at 6:30 'drizzle or shine'. Stay through the parade - a special guest has promised to arrive.
