The Central Delaware County Rotary
Club is very active.
John Maioriello, attorney, recently
spoke at a Central Delaware County Rotary Club breakfast meeting
in June. Mr. Maioriello informed the club about the need for
wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare powers of attorney.
He spoke about the liability for executors and executor fees.
He also informed the Club about how to execute a change in
a will properly. Mr. Maioriello grew up in Delaware County
and now has an office in Philadelphia.
Joveline Pettus and Jody LaVerdure,
two members of the Rotary 2009 Group Study Exchange (GSE)
Team to the Philippines also spoke to the Central Delaware
County Rotary Club in June. They spoke about the large number
of Rotarians in the Philippines, and the positive impact that
these clubs are making. One of their projects is Stepping
Stone, a live-in program for people with intellectual and
developmental disabilities. Rural areas in the Philippines
are in need of clean water, and the Rotary Clubs provide clean
water for the public schools. Children get to take home clean
water as well. The poverty level in the Philippines was heart
breaking, with one village located in a trash dump site. Rotarians
helped open a school for this village and they provided clean
water for students. In contract, the Island of Palawan was
beautiful and is the location of an underground river, which
is being considered one of the new wonders of the world.
The Central Delaware County Rotary welcomes
guests and meets very Wednesday morning at 7:15 a.m. at the
Coffee Club on State Street in Media. Please call Jeanne at
610-306-6901 if you would like more information on the Club.

During this
holiday season, the Central Delaware
County Rotary Club donated coats purchased from Operation
Warm to the Community Action Agency of Delaware County (CAADC) and
turkeys to the St. James Alumni Association. Skilled professionals
at CAADC assess client problems and develop a case management plan
which will assist the client in reaching the goal of self-sufficiency
through such programs as workforce development, child care, after-school
program and housing assistance. The St. James Alumni Association distribute
meals to City Team Ministries in Chester. The Central DELCO Rotary
Club raises funds throughout the year and donates those funds to local
non-profits, and to Rotary International programs. The Central DELCO
Rotary meets weekly on Wednesday mornings at the Coffee Club on State
Street in Media at 7:15-8:15. Visitors are always welcome. If you
would like further information about the Rotary Club International,

Judy Martelli, a native of Delaware County and graduate of Immaculata
College, spoke to the Rotary Club of Central Delaware County about
her experience playing women’s basketball at Immaculata. Ms. Martelli
was on the Mighty Macs basketball team, under Coach Cathy Rush, when
they won three consecutive National Women’s Collegiate Championships
in 1972, 1973 and 1974. Ms. Martelli told the Rotary members about
the tremendous support of the nuns at Immaculata. One example of that
support was when the nuns sent the basketball team to the Championship
playoff game. They only had enough money to send the team one way
and told the team not to worry, they would get the money for their
return trip somehow.
Judy
and her team’s experience winning their first championship is captured
in a film by Tim Chambers currently titled Our Lady of Victory. The
film stars Ellen Bursten, Carla Gugino and David Boreanaz. Judy Martelli
was one of seven of the original eleven teammates who will make a
cameo appearance in the movie as nuns.
Judy
is married to Phil Martelli, St. Joseph’s basketball coach, and has
3 grown children. Her two sons are college assistant basketball coaches
and her daughter is a college student. |
