The annual distribution of dictionaries is finished! 622 copies were given to third graders in the Norristown Area School district with 14 of our Club members participating in the 3 day event. We were warmly received and, as usual, met with some bright, interested students. Thanks to all who helped with this project!

GREAT JOB ,JUDY BUCKO FOR ORGANIZING OUR DICTIONARY DISTRIBUTION PROJECT
Last Thursday, our Club was honored to welcome Rotary District 7430 District Governor Katie Farrell to our meeting.
Gov. Farrell made presentations to our Board of Directors and then spoke at our general meeting. At both meetings, Katie stressed this year's main goal of increasing membership in our individual clubs and in the District. She outlined targets for each club adding a net increase of two members in the next year and stated the she is working on adding two new clubs to the District.
She took this year's theme of "Majic of Rotary" and mede it "The Majic is You" as she outlined the Rotary Action Plan, which gives us a pathway to accomplish the increased membership goals. The important steps are engage and follow through on our plans for the coming years. It is critical to make an impact in the community, extend our reach, enhance member participation and their engagements, and always look for ways to increase our ability to adapt to change.
She highlighted the many resources that the District makes available to clubs to make their efforts easier. Katie also spoke on gains other clubs have made in expanding their reach through social media, creating special theme clubs, and starting satellite clubs, as her home club ,Warminster has done by creating a "Gold Club" focusing on older senior individuals.
Katie left us with the directive to "ENGAGE !" and expand Rotary's presence in our community.
Thank You Gov. Farrell for your visit.
