Note: We received this request from Jane Pekol regarding the Rotaract Flea Market Project. Can you help?
--
We're a go for our Flea Market and Fall Fest, for October 12, 11AM-5PM.
I am wondering whether Rotarians might have some flea market items to donate? Could you guys announce this at the next meeting? Donations can be accepted at the Friends Meetinghouse (20 Jacoby Street in Norristown) on the next two Sundays, 11 AM - 1 PM.
We are not accepting clothing or shoes, but basically anything else that's in decent condition. We will help donors unload items.
We are also seeking vendors and non-profits who would like to have a space at our event. Please pass along the flyer to Rotarians, and have folks send an email to this address if they are interested in vending. Also--anyone who wants to come play some guitar or form a drum circle is welcome!
We're hoping for a fun event and to raise a little money, and, as always, generate interest in Rotaract! Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
The Norristown Rotary and the Rotary Club of Collegeville met last week to move forward on our 'Take One Share One' book library project. According to the team ",the structure will be mounted to a post which will be “planted” in the ground. It was suggested at our meeting, that we try to get the property management company to handle the post installation, etc. Our friends from the Kiwanis Club are reaching out to Westover Companies, Inc. (property manager for the Audubon Shopping Center) to arrange for this work."
We are preparing a certificate from proof of liability insurance.
Last week the Club welcomed Dr. Barbara Weikert the music coordinator for the Norristown Area School District, who spoke on the topic of Global Education through Peacebuilding and Music. She has used her experiences as a Fulbright Scholar and as the music coordinator to work for peace by teaching diverse populations how to get along. Her work with the Global Peace Initiative gave her the opportunity to bring people together through the universal ;language of music employing both local traditional music and our culture.
Closer to home, she has worked with the Pa Council for International Education to ensure music has a continued influence in our education programs.
Dr. Weikert also shared slides of her experiences with the Fulbright Foundation in several programs abroad to "help create connections in a complex world"
