It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of long-time Rotary member Virginia 'Ginny' Wojno.
She joined The Rotary Club of Akron on November 10, 1992 and was proud that she had perfect attendance.
Ginny made a lasting impact through her service to the Rotary Club, Camp and Foundation, and served in numerous leadership capacities over the years.
Her dedication and warmth will surely be remembered by many. She always had a smile and hug for everyone she encountered.
There will be a private memorial service.
The family shared the following and advised that her obituary will appear on Sunday, October 6, 2024.
Our beloved Ginny has entered God’s ‘next level’ domaine this evening. Her passing was quick and pain free. The Angels at Justin Rogers Hospice took extraordinary care of her and quickly adopted her and her indomitable spirit as ‘one of theirs’!
It is notable that today was Ginny’s 95th birthday, and we all need to celebrate her life of blessing family, friends and community!
Arrangements were prearranged by Ginny with Summerville Funeral Home where cremation will occur, and at her request; her remains will be sent to St. Paul’s for internment in their memorial garden. An obituary (again, written by her-go figure) will be published in a timely manner.
She loved life and leaves a legacy of being a Saint to many!
As you may remember, Rotary Camp received a grant from the Akron Rotary Club and the Akron Rotary Foundation to assist the families residing in the I PROMISE Village. This grant includes a volunteer component involving Rotarians.
Please join us as The Village Families and Our Friends from Joann’s come together to create blankets for the community. They have a target to make 100 blankets. A portion of these will be provided to new families at the I PROMISE Village, while Joann’s will donate some to the Access Community Shelter in Akron.
This volunteer opportunity will benefit both the LeBron James Family Foundation’s I PROMISE Village and the Access Community Shelter in Akron.
Sign up here to participate on Saturday, October 5, 2024, 9-11am. The event will be held at House Three Thirty (532 W Market St, Akron, OH 44303, United States) in the Cabaret Room.
"Youth Author Spotlight" promotes literacy, youth success, and college/career readiness among 740 middle school students from Akron Public Schools and other local school districts. This event will enrich the lives of our young readers and serve as a positive representation of diversity and representation. Justin A. Reynolds is a Black male author from Ohio to connect with our male minority audiences. He will share his journey as an author, discuss the creative process behind his books, and inspire the students to pursue their passions and dreams.
Akron Rotarians will be working in two shifts--9:00 am to 11:30 am and 11:15 am to 1:00 pm. at the main campus of the Akron Summit Library on October 23rd.
We'll be assisting students and teachers at the photo opportunity station; monitoring the "roving" microphones as students ask questions and handing books to the author on stage while he distributes books to students!
I am looking for volunteers (spouses and friends are welcome; they just need to signup for volunteering with ACRFB!) for Wednesday, October 23 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm at the Akron location which is located at 350 Opportunity Parkway, Akron, OH 44307.
The service project involves breaking down large containers of food into smaller portions for redistribution to area food pantries.
