Halloween Parade 2021:  A Big Success!!!

 
Joel Stever of the Daily Bread Community Food Pantry and Kathy Kernen of Collegeville Economic Development Center helped us to kick off the Collegeville Rotary Halloween Parade today.  It was a perfect fall evening for ghouls and goblins of all ages to come out to scare and to collect a loot of candy.  
 
 
A great big thanks goes out to all the volunteer helpers before, during and after the event.  A great big shout out goes to Mary Cook and Pat Keeny for doing the heavy lifting with organizing the event.

WOW!!! What a Great Success
 

Our club set out to attract 100 runners/walkers this year to our second annual Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk to raise funds for the Daily Bread Community Food Pantry (dailybreadcommunityfoodpantry.org). 

Our community didn't disappoint us.  They came out in force to support this initiative as well as to have fun.  We had 242 runners/walkers of all ages and abilities participate and made this a grand success.  We couldn't have asked for more.  Even mother nature cooperated and gave us a perfect day.

63rd. Halloween Parade ... Bigger than ever

We did it again...

This is the 63rd year our club has hosted the Halloween Parade.  It was bigger and better than ever.  Thousands of gules and goblins came out to enjoy the great fun.  Please plan to attend again next year on the last Wednesday prior to Halloween ( Oct 28, 2020).  Here are some reflections from one of our new members, Denise Wiggins who attended the parade for the first time:
 
"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."

Rotaplast Mission in Guatemala City

Posted by Joy Miksic

A 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.

Club Member Trip to India - Jan 2017

Six of our Rotarians returned from an exciting 2 week trip to India in January 2017.
While in India, our Rotarians visited Bangalore, Several towns in Andra Pradesh and New Delhi.  They made many connections with Rotarians and other active philanthropists.  They also visited several health care and education facilities to see first hand how these facilities operate and what their current needs are.  The highlight of their trip was the connections made in Vizianagaram in Andra Pradesh.  They returned with a good understanding of how we can make a positive lasting impact on improving their health and education.  As a follow up from this trip, we were successful in getting a District Grant approved to work on 5 worthy projects with a positive impact on several hundred of people.

Meaning of UBUNTU

This story was contributed by Rao Kancherla, a friend of the Collegeville Rotary Club.
 
An Anthropologist proposed a game to a group of African tribal children.  He placed a basket of treats and candy near a tree. And made them stand 100 meters away.  And announced that who ever reaches first would get all the treats in the basket.
 
When he said ready steady go...  Do you know what these small children did?
They all held each other's hands and ran towards the tree together, divided the treats among them and ate them together and enjoyed it.
 
When the Anthropologist asked them why you did so?    They said 'Ubuntu'.
 
Which meant -  'How can one be happy when all the others are sad?'
  
Ubuntu in their language means -  'I am because, we are!'
 
This is a great message for all generations.
 
Let all of us always carry this attitude within us and spread happiness, wherever we go...
Let's have an Ubuntu Life.   I am because we are
 
Ubuntu  (/ʊˈbuːntʊ/uu-boon-tuu;  Zulu  pronunciation: [ùɓúntʼú]) is a Nguni Bantu term roughly translating to "human kindness."
It is an idea from the Southern African region which means literally "human-ness," and is
often translated as "humanity toward others," but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".

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!

Posted by Lynn Fleisher on Apr 22, 2014

    

Ract-2c-gd

 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.
