Our Club is Hard at Work with Several Important Projects, Help is Needed From All Please read about our New Addition to listed projects: Magazines for Hospitals.....The Widener Holiday Party.....March of Dimes.....NE Seniors Cleanup Day.....Dictionary Project .....Mitzvah Mania Click on each name listed above to find more information The
magazine project idea is in full swing. Hospitals have lots
of waiting rooms and very few magazines. We are collecting them
and putting a sticker on the front "Compliments of the
Rotary Club of Northeast Sunrisers Philadelphia, PA" and
on the back with information about our Rotary Club. Bring your
magazines to meetings and we'll take turns taking them to various
waiting rooms.
Together with Jenkintown Rotary and the Interact Club from Jenkintown we host a holiday party for the children at Widener Memorial School. This is a school for children with physical disabilities. The party is held just before the beginning of winter break.There are snacks, songs, and fellowship with the children capped off with a special visit by Santa to deliver gifts for each child in the program. The Widener School Choir performs using the amplification system donated by our club. Our donations go for individual gifts for these most needy of children. The Interact Club of Jenkintown has been shopping for the presents. In addition a donation is usually made to the Home and School Association for use to supply their needy children with gloves, hats and scarves or to provide the school with needed equipment.
Twice a year, our club participates in the Fall and Spring Senior Cleanup day sponsored by the Rhawnhurst NORC. We help the seniors by cleaning up their yards, changing batteries in their smoke detectors, winterizing their doors and windows, putting in or removing window/door screens etc. There are lots of projects available to match your skills. All are welcome and needed. Our members visit local schools and give away dictionaries to every third grader there. While we are there, we also teach the students the importance of words- words can heal and words can hurt. This project has been chaired by Gary Winkler of State Farm Insurance for a number of years.
Our members assist with volunteer projects at the JYC including packing meals for shut ins.
