Starting just a few weeks ago under the able direction of President David Holm, our club has made some great changes! Come meet with us at Character's Pub, on N. Christian St(rear of 38 N. Queen St) in Lancaster. We have a great new look, a private meeting room, great food and a LOWER $5 cover charge. Also we have just completed the tally for the Second Annual Road Rally held in, and for, downtown Lancaster. This event earned us last year about $2000. This year's event was a huge success, even in the face of a hurricane, earning over $6,000 for charitable uses in Lancaster City. WELL DONE ALL WHO PARTICIPATED !!!! Join us this week at Character's for an hour of fellowship, cocktails, and charitable fun. |

We have recently embarked on a really beneficial new project that is touching the lives of many local families. Quarterly, in support of Tabor Services,we are collecting items to stock gift baskets for new home owners. But not just new home owners, but families that are making the momentous move from homeless to homes. Each quarter we collect specific items needed to maintain and enjoy a home. This past basket included cleaning supplies, such as paper towels, cleansers, mops, sponges, brooms and the like. Next quarter we will be adding home repair items like tools, nuts and bolts, nails, and other repair necessities. This is a really meaninful project that requires little time or effort, but has a huge impact on families making a home. Thank you all for helping, and lets make each quarter's baskets larger, and more numerous.

What is our club up to? Why do we meet and what do we do?
This is our SECOND ANNUAL road rally and profits from the event will assist us in making a difference in downtown Lancaster. We are a relatively new Rotary Club, but we have made a difference in our short existence to improve the downtown area. We have given a sizeable scholarship to a McCaskey senior, provided two years of Christmas gifts to needy children, assisted the LEADS organization in the hanging of downtown Christmas decorations, contribute monthly to the food bank at St. John's Lutheran Church, contributed a significant number of children's books (one for each guest speaker) to the Lancaster Public Library and helped many other local organizations as they request our assistance. We also contribute to Rotary International's drive to end polio in the world and to make the world a more peaceful place.
