On Friday evening, October 26th, we had 41 students from the North High School Interact club come out to camp for an evening of fun, food, skits, and games. We were joined by our visiting International students, Anna from Spain, and Sataro from Japan. The kids had a great time and they were blown away by the beauty of the camp and the kindness and graciousness of the staff. In spite of the rain they were able to make smores inside with a cozy fire in the Great Room.Thank you Akron Rotary and Akron Rotary Camp! VIEW ALL 36 PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT BY CLICKING HERE.
Helpers were Ben Heckerman, David Hall, Cyndi Kane, and Stew Buchanan.
Thanks,

It was no tricks, but just treats, this past weekend at Rotary Camp. Our campers had a great time trick-or-treating from cabin-to-cabin, and had a fun time playing games in the Rec Hall.
Thank you for all the candy and treat donations, and to all the volunteers that made it a delightful experience for our campers. The students from Super Learning did a great job decorating the dining hall with ghosts, bats and jack-o-lanterns.
Wishing you all a boo-tiful Halloween with lots of treats!

Fellow Rotarians, I offered to help raise funds so that soon-to-be Rotarian Emily Patterson is able to join Rotarian Claudine Schooley on a trip to the Ukraine. In order for international grants to be considered, a community assessment needs to be done. Many of you heard about this project when Claudine spoke a few weeks ago. I'll be contributing to help her, so has her Uncle. If you're inclined and able, please let her know if you can also help cover her costs! See Emily's ask below: My name is Emily Patterson. I wear many different hats at this point in my life: I am a masters of public health student at Kent State University, I am the Volunteer Coordinator at SouthernCare Hospice in Cuyahoga Falls, I work in a laboratory at Kent State researching antibiotic resistance, and a soon to be Rotarian. I am currently working with the Rotary Club of Akron and God's Hidden Treasures on a pediatric wheelchair and transportation project. Today, wheelchairs are not well suited for life in Ukraine. We are looking to work with engineering students at The University of Akron to adapt a wheelchair to the specific needs of the disabled children and their caregivers in Ukraine. Secondly, we are looking to donate an equipped van to both transport children and adults with disabilities and to take the wheelchairs and necessary medical equipment to people in need. In order for the project to happen, we need to complete community assessments in Ukraine. I am looking to go to Ukraine this November with Claudine Schooley (Akron Rotarian) and Nita Hanson (President of God's Hidden Treasures) to talk with the families to better understand the needs of the community. Without this key element, we might misunderstand the needs and provide a wheelchair that does not help the current problem. The funds I am trying to raise will pay for my roundtrip plane tickets and lodging in Ukraine. Any extra money will be donated directly to the project. Best Regards, Emily |
How to reach her:
Emily's email is epatter3@kent.edu.
Make check payable to either Emily Patterson or the Akron Rotary Foundation (please indicate Emily Patterson in the memo field). Funds paid to the foundation will be used to directly reimburse Emily's expenses.
Goal: $2,000
Donated to date: $1,400
Thank you!

The Rotary Club of Akron and the University of Akron Department of Bio-medical Engineering collaborate to solve a problem and provide a solution to the need of many children and adults with access ability difficulties in the Ukraine. They are designing a type of wheelchair/ stroller that adapts to the small elevators and final steps (stairways) of apartment buildings. An enthusiastic group led by UAs Jim Keszenheimer and 5th engineering students and Rotary’s Claudine Schooley met today to review the project. Nita Hanson made the trip from the Ukraine to explain the specific needs of the project. I’m thrilled to be involved with this awesome project.

The North High Interact kids are amazing! They are humble and hungry to learn. They had a blast painting their teachers’ lounge. For many of these kids it was the first time they had ever done any painting and remarkably they were able to keep the paint off of themselves. 😊 They simply want to serve and improve the quality of their lives, their families, and their community.
