Check out the 2026 Report to Our Community
If you think we were not making an impact in our community, look again at pages 8 and 9 of the Report. Some join Rotary for service opportunities, some for fellowship, some just for a place to give away their money. We have it all!!!
Support for Global Grant Scholarship
The application for supporting a scholarship for Simone Minor, a graduate from UVa and a Bear, Del resident has been appoved by The Rotary Foundation!
Simone has been accepted at Kings College in London to study Maternal and Child Health, one of the areas of focus of Rotary. Because Simone lives in our area, our club had been asked to be the lead club of the global grant application. All clubs and members in our district 7630 are asked to pledge to support this grant. So far more than $30,000 has been pledged. Our club has agreed to $1,000 to support her with several members making personal pledges of nearly $2,000. 
At a Distict Foundation Committee meeting yesterday, it was suggested that since the application has been approved by The Rotary Foundation, EVERYONE WHO PLEDGED TO SUPPORT THE SCHOLARSHIP CAN NOW MAKE THEIR PLEDGED CONTRIBUTION TO THE ANNUAL FUND BEFORE THEN END OF JUNE. If you need help in making the contribution online, please ask Robin, Marie, or Clinton for help. You will get a notice from PDG Bill Ferguson about making that actual donation NOW!
Adopt A Park Cleanup Scheduled
To get more members engaged and be mindful of their schedules, Dan Seador has a monthly signup for trash pickup at the Resevoir, Preston’s Playground, and the new Old Paper Mill Road Park. Each month will have a co-chair who will schedule a team to do the trash pickup, report back to Dan, and take pictures. The signup will be attached in an email to all members. Please reply to Dan.
