Note: If SPOKE looks a little strange this week, it's because we are experimenting with a different format in order to make Spoke easier to read on mobile devices and phones.
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.
In 2022, the year following our Club's 100th anniversary, we purchased a commemorative patio brick from Elmwood Park Zoo and had it inscribed.
During the recent remodeling at the Zoo, all commemorative bricks were removed and replaced with a new entrance and walkway.
The Zoo indicated they kept all the bricks and are coming up with another plan to display all the graphics in another way. We are not sure what that means.
But, they said they would contact the person who purchased the brick originally and let them know the plan.
This week Carol Lastowka from Ceasefire PA spoke on their efforts to reduce gun violence.
Their emphasis is not banning guns but rather to advocate gun safety, proper storage and handling, proper training, and gun dealer inspections.
Carol having experienced personal loss, related her empathy and motivation. They secured more than $200 million for local violence prevention programs. @ceasefirepa
