Happy Spring!

It is Easter and we are greeted with plenty of rain.  But we are promised May flowers!.  These sure signs of Spring reflect some new things happening with our Rotary Club of Akron.  This Thursday, April 27, we will be resuming our Rotary After Hours at a new venue, Beau’s in Fairlawn Hilton, sponsored by our own fun man, Steve Shecter.  We hope all of you can join us for a fun after work get together to celebrate Rotary friendships.  This is a great opportunity to bring prospective members and our past Rotarians. 

We will also be celebrating our first Service Committee project, sponsoring a local boy scout and his project to build a new fence around one of Akron’s landmarks, the John Brown home.  The Service Committee tallied up club member votes from a few weeks ago and identified some great potential projects for our club.  This is a wonderful first step in making Akron aware of Rotary’s desire to help our local community. 

Our PR committee has also been active with capturing photos of local high school scholarship recipients and the Netherlands GSE Team.  The importance of sharing all Rotary does both locally and internationally is key to expanding our membership and helping all of us understand the power of Rotary.
