Saying Good bye!
It was not without a lot of thought and a heartwrenching decision, Barry Baker has decided to resign from Rotary due to health reasons. He still wants to stay in touch and know what we are up to! Barry has been a member of the Newark club and rejoined Newark Morning in December 2000. Every time we pick up trash from Old Baltimore Pike, we will remember Barry’s history lessons on Old Post Road and the Redcoats who marched from Ellkton to Cooch’s Bridge to begin the Revolutionary War.
Lynn Mey has also made the hard decision to resign. As past president, Lynn showed leadership and organization of a sometimes roudy bunch of Rotarians. She is now herding her bunch of 10 (soon to be 11) grandkids with many days of babysitting and family obligations.
Going to PRESS!!!!!!
It’s been a long time coming but we are finally going to press with the 2026 Report to Our Community!!!!! Many thanks to those who sold ads, made donations, wrote articles, took pictures, and answered Robin’s requests for updated pics and bios. We could not have done this without Chair Cindi Viviano and her team of Ed Gossett, John Hornor, Stewart Lee, and Robin. We did not hit our goal but $35,000 in advertising sales is not too shabby for the fundraiser. Congratulations to all.
Support for Global Grant Scholarship
Members received an email from District Governor Dale Kerns about supporting a scholarship for Simone Minor, a soon to be graduate from UVa. A Bear, Del. resident, 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 has 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. Our club has agreed to $1,000 to support her with several members making personal pledges of nearly $2,000.
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.

Changes in Annual Meeting
Instead of an Annual Meeting with dinner and awards, a new agenda will begin this year. Installation of officers for 2026-27 will be held at the morning meeting on June 11. Only internal awards to our club will be presented. The three awards usually presented( Community Service, Public Service, and Spirit in Business) will be presented individually at later meetings. This will give opportunity to highlight each award recipient rather than giving them a mere 30 seconds like we used to do.
Award Applications Available
Applications for the three special awards we present each year are now available. Please review each application and submit any nominees you have to the Rotarian who is the chair and named at the end. They will then review the applications with their committee, select one, and a meeting will be scheduled to present the award. Applications will be sent this week. No Rotarian is eligible for these awards but their business could be considered for the Spirit in Business award.
1)Ray Civatte Community Service Award
2)Public Service Award
3)Spirit in Business Award
