Rotary Club of Akron Directors in Action in April

The Akron Rotary’s Board of Directors met on April 8^th.  President-elect Shon Christy reported that he is finalizing his goals, theme and leadership team for his term as President which begins July 1^st.   Expect the great things at Akron Rotary to continue as he debuts plans for 2014-15! 

 

Upcoming service opportunities include Saturday morning deliveries for Mobile Meals coordinated by Bill Manby, Jr. and the Salvation Army Reading Program spearheaded by Barbara Hunsicker.  United Way’s Day of Action is June 20th.  Day of Action is a day of work and fun to aid local nonprofit health and human service agencies.   Akron Rotary hopes to recruit 20-30 volunteers to participate in a variety of projects matching our skillset.   Mark Seward is heading up this project.

 

Directors praised Louise Mazur who has researched, organized and coordinated Rotary activities in support of the Salvation Army education programs. These programs provide elementary school students with homework tutoring during the school year, and work to improve reading skills during their summer break.

All Directors were thrilled with the Centennial Celebration held April 5^th.  The sold-out crowd was guided through the evening’s festivities by Emcee Dave Lieberth.   Akron Rotary’s story was told with such emotion, the audience was left wanting more!   The positive impact of the evening is still being felt.   Wanting to join us and make a difference, many are asking, “How do I become an Akron Rotarian?”
