I just got back from a good run; the cool air was invigorating and helped push me along.  As I ran I was thinking about how just a few days earlier the Camp celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony on a beautiful sunny afternoon.  It was a great event, with the mayor of New Franklin issuing us a city proclamation.  Although construction had already begun, it was a wonderful way to bring many involved with this heartfelt undertaking together and recognize how many improved seasons will evolve.  A few weeks ago, Josh was our speaker and debuted a 3-minute video geared towards promotion of the capital campaign.  We had some technical difficulties with sound, but that video is now available on our Club homepage.  It would be impossible not to watch this and feel both pride in what our Club accomplishes with camp and then feel like we need to share this with everyone.

Our club will be reaching out to more children this week as we take part in Read To Me Day on November 3.  We will be adopting Voris School in Akron and reading about Fall and Thanksgiving.  This is our start to getting a literacy program started.  I am very thankful to the volunteers that will share their time reading.

We are working on some changes to our after hours meetings and getting another fall social event planned.  Keep your eyes open for these announcements and please continue to share your ideas on new things we can try out!

Yours in Rotary,

Janet Williams
