In
February of this year, the Warminster Rotary
Club celebrated it's 44th anniversary. Founded
in 1962, with the sponsorship of the Hatboro
Rotary Club, Warminster Rotary became a part of
Rotary International. Our club is made up of
business and professional men and women from the
greater Warminster Area. We meet every Tuesday
for lunch at Giuseppe's Restaurant here in town,
and sponsor numerous activities throughout the
community.
As active members of an international
organization, our club has participated in many
programs sponsored by Rotary International. Our
members have sponsored exchange students through
the "Youth Exchange Program", sent a member to
Belize to construct a new medical facility for
the residents, donated funds to the "Rotary
Foundation" and the "Polio Plus" eradication
project and assisted in many projects directed
towards disaster relief both here and abroad.
Each year we attempt to remain both aware of,
and involved in, efforts to help people in need.
Our primary focus is to make a difference
here in our community. Many of our efforts are
directed locally and most of our programs have
been in place for decades. Our "Scholarship
Program" and "Handicapped Children's Program"
have generated hundreds of thousands of dollars
in direct contributions for worthy and needy
recipients here in our area. Whether it's
sponsoring children at riding camps, purchasing
wheel chairs, donating ambulances to our local
corps or outfitting our local police with
portable breathe testing equipment to help curb
drunken driving, we are there and involved.
Assisting Christ Home, Meals on Wheels, BARC,
Warminster Hospital, Warminster Town Watch, the
Ben Wilson Senior Center or just sponsoring
young athletes to a night out at a Phillies game
(Strike out Hunger food collection efforts), the
Warminster Rotary is making things happen. Many
local families and organizations benefit from
our service each year.
We are extremely proud of our
accomplishments and even prouder of our members,
their families and the multitudes of people and
groups who support our efforts on an ongoing
basis. Our goals are simple, to help make our
community a better place to live and work, while
helping those who need it most. Join us in our
efforts, join our club, or join us in making
people aware that help is available.
Our site provides current information on many
of these activities, and our calendar of events
can provide you with specific fund raising and
donation information. Thank you for visiting
with us, please stop back. |
