The Kennett
Square Rotary Club applied for a Gundaker
grant in the 2012-13 year for a multi-purpose strategy for
our 2 main club focuses of the year: literacy and hunger
awareness. We applied for $500 which is matched with Kennett
Rotary Foundation money to provide a total of $1,000 to
fund 3 club projects.
1: Our 7th dictionary project. The club's dictionary project
is spearheaded every year by past club president Al Schmitt
(club Rotarian of the Year) and Louise Bair (Governor's
Citation and club Rotarian of the Year).
2: To purchase books for the Maternal Child Health Consortium's
Kennett Healthy Family program. The books are given to the
families in this program. These books were purchased January
2013.

3. To sponsor the Hunger Awareness
Workshop put on by the teens at the Garage Youth Community
Center in Kennett Square. This workshop was inspired by
our club's Hunger
Awareness Campaign and RI's 2012-2013 Peace Through Service
theme and is part of the Peace Forum initiative suggested
for a club's Presidential Citation.
Peace through Service,

| Congratulations
to the Gundaker Foundation and Chair Ernie Falcone
for raising $2,200 during the first Rotary Night at the
Phillies on May 7th even if they did lose to the Mets. The
money will help Gundaker fund graduate and undergraduate
scholarships or matching grant projects that Clubs propose.
For those of you that attended I hope you at least enjoed
the ball park, a hot dog and cold drink, and the friendship
of being with other Rotarians. -- John Washington |

King of Prussia Rotary Club
Charitable Foundation provided $3,400 in funding to ACLAMO
Family Centers of Norristown, PA for the purchase of an
interactive "Smartboard". The project was assisted
by a grant of $1,000 from the Gundaker Foundation, which
supports Rotary Club projects in the Philadelphia area.
The high-tech system was recently installed in ACLAMO's
computer skills training room by AVT Digital Media Systems
of Malvern, PA. Holding the presentation check behind
the children from ACLAMO from the left are Rotarian Ernest
