63rd. Halloween Parade ... Bigger than everWe did it again...![]() "Albeit, it was my first time attending and participating as a costume judge, I am rooted in community, no matter where you find it, and I loved every minute of it. I am a proud Rotarian and assisting with this community event brought so many smiles, laughter and hugs. I watched community leaders fall into step and give their time, resources and assistance to make the parade extra special, safe and fun! The community showed up in fabulous Halloween fashion, both as parade participants (floats, bands, dancers, costume walkers, fire trucks, etc.) and lining the streets to cheer and receive the main prize of the parade ... lots of candy! Kids and adults alike were joyous, respectful and happy." Click here to enjoy the photos taken by Sarah Calvin of Sarah Calvin Photography. Thanks Sarah. |

Rotaplast Mission in Guatemala CityA strength of Rotary is its worldwide reach, giving Rotarians many opportunities to serve in locations all around the world. Because of the broad reach of Rotary, it is able to provide resources at both the local and at the international level. One of these opportunities is the Rotaplast program. Undertaken by Rotary in 1992 this medical mission has served in Guatemala, Myanmar, Columbia, India, Bangladesh and many other countries. This year, one of our Collegeville members, and 8 of our District members were fortunate to serve as non-medical support in that program. Our District, 7430, raised the $100,000 needed to enable Rotary to host this Guatemala Medical Mission for children and young adults who suffer from cleft palate and/or cleft lip. The Mission ran from Sept 2nd for 10 days. It included 7 days of surgeries and a day of follow up. Families stood in line for hours with hope that their child could be a part of the program. Many of the children had no prior surgery, which means that they could not eat or communicate properly, and were likely to be shunned by their community. Many can’t attend school due to their incapacity to speak. The Rotaplast medical team was able to serve 113 patients, doing surgeries ranging from lip repair to bone grafts to closing the gap in the roof of the mouth. It was truly amazing to see the love and care that was given to these very special children. Every child went home with a bigger smile. |

2014 Halloween Parade![]() The Rotary Club of Collegeville sponsored its annual Halloween parade. No one knows how long we have been doing this, but parade chairman Joe Greenwald believes this to be his 25th year! This is a long standing tradition that the community looks forward to each year. Families, neighborhoods and businesses came together to create floats, imagine outrageous costumes and put on a show! The Perkiomen Valley High School marching band, Longhorn football and cheerleading, andarea fire companies were all on hand to celebrate. Of course Santa made his usual appearance on a fire truck, delighting everyone young and old. Prizes were awarded by age group for best costumes. The rain threatened us for a bit, but it turned out to be a great evening enjoyed by all! |

Welcome Ursinus Rotaract Club!
We are proud to announce the re-charter of the Ursinus Rotaract Club. Rotaract brings together people ages 18-30 in universities and communities worldwide to organize service activities, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun. Rotary clubs sponsor them, but Rotaract members manage and fund their clubs independently. Rotaract members work closely with their local Rotary club, and may join any club after their Rotaract membership ends. After several years with no Rotaract on campus, Rotartian and Ursinus Director of Institutional Research, Angelo Sorrentino took up the challenge to re-establish the club. He was able to find a number of dedicated young students to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Several of them were an essential part of our Pancake Breakfast crew this year. A dinner was held on the Ursinus campus on April 23, 2014 to celebrate Rotaract's charter. Collegeville club president, David Kaplan welcomed the group of students and emphasized the importance of the two clubs working together to serve the community. Also in attendance were District Governor Frank Romano and his wife Jean, and Assistant District Governor Marie Ann Thompson. Both had words of encouragement for the students and reminded them of the world wide opportunities to serve that comes with being a part of Rotary. |
