The Rotary Club of Mount Joy is holding a special fundraising project for the Wittel Growing Project. Wittel Farms LCC, in partnership with Hunger-Free Lancaster County, is in its 3rd year undertaking an ambitious new initiative at their farm in Elizabethtown. The Wittel Growing Project grows fresh vegetables to help feed hungry people in Lancaster County, and throughout south-central Pennsylvania.

First, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you have done or are doing for our organization. Just as our collective humanitarian efforts accomplish more than any of us could individually, it is the collective effort of all of you that allows our organization to operate year in and year out. We appreciate you.
Some of you receiving this are long time friends and acquaintances in Rotary. Some are relatively new. Some of you we have not yet had the privilege of working with. Regardless, we need each of you to consider the following. September 20-22, 2018, we will be holding the first ever Zone 24/32 Conference. Oh wait you say, we've had Rotary Institutes for years. Right you are. So what's the difference? This event is open to ALL Rotarians. Past Officers, incoming officers, current officers, AG's, district Rotarians, club Rotarians. Everyone!
So, click here and see what the program looks like. Register and join us in Montreal. Most importantly - encourage others to join you!!
The early bird discount ends June 1st so act NOW.
We look forward to welcoming you to Montreal....and celebrating you.
Sincerely, Jeffry Cadorette Incoming Rotary International Director
