Delco
Fair raises $15,000 for community
. Two-days of rain held attendance to around 4,000
people. Given the short notice and the terrible weather,
the Delco Fair went well. There were plenty of volunteers,
and, except for roadside visibility, the Franklin
Mint site proved ideal. Glen Riddle Rotarian Joe Fletcher

name of Joanne Starner of Aston as winner of $1,000
prize. Despite two days of rainouts, Delco Fair raised
$15,000 to be used for projects sponsored by Glen
Riddle and Concordville-Chadds Ford Rotary Clubs.

photo was taken in the main square of Patzcuaro,
Michoacan Mexico. The GSE team of 2006 visited this
historic town in the hills of central Mexico. They
also learned of the poverty in the surrounding countryside
where getting out of the house can sometimes be
a problem due to disabilities, disease or other
incapacities. The Glen Riddle Club, of which the
group leader is a member, championed a project to
work with the Club Rotario Patzcuaro 2000 to provide
mobility to some of the to towns people. Pictured
with recipients of the wheel chairs are:
L to r Augustin Chavez Lopez, Hector Plata Mondragon,
assistant to the children, Lourdes Avilas Perez,

club. not pictured:
