Zone 24/32 Conference

Hello everyone,

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

Harrisburg Keystone Club "branches out" to plant trees

The Rotary Club of Harrisburg Keystone successfully “branched out” on Saturday, April 21, to plant a tree for each of its 30 members as part of this year’s Rotary Day of Service. Planning for the project started earlier in the year when we partnered with the Paxton Creek Watershed Education Association. One of their goals is to improve water quality by stabilizing stream banks, and to that end, the association happily offered to donate trees from its nursery for our project.
 
To identify a good location for planting, Keystone reached out to the Capital Area Greenbelt Association to see if there was a need for trees along its 20-mile trail encircling the City of Harrisburg. CAGA members knew of an area along Spring Creek that needed help with more trees for the riparian buffer along the trail. The spot was accessible by vehicle and close to Keystone’s focus service area, Harrisburg’s Alison Hill neighborhood. A CAGA volunteer who also is an environmental biologist marked the locations along the trail for the donated oak, hawthorn and crabapple trees.
 
On the morning of the event, two Keystone members went to the nursery and packed 30 small trees and their gallon containers into the back of a pickup truck and drove to the greenbelt site, where they were joined by eight additional volunteers. Everyone got busy digging holes, and planting and watering trees. All of the trees were secured in their new homes within an hour.
 
Keystone is proud to have taken part in the district’s day of service and contribute to Rotary International’s global goal of planting 1.2 million trees this year. We are also proud to have partnered with area individuals and organizations to enhance and protect our vital natural resources. We thank our new partners for their assistance, and hope we can go on to bigger and better projects together.

Hershey Hosts Magnificently Successful RMB Networking Event May 2018

The Rotary Club of Hershey hosted a super successful RMB networking event at Troegs Independent Brewing’s Barrell Room the night of May 16 with easily over 40 attendees perhaps as many as over 50 attendees from eight Rotary District 7390 clubs: the Rotary Clubs of Carlisle, Hanover, Harrisburg, Harrisburg Keystone, Hershey, Mechanicsburg North, Palmyra, and York.  Thanks to the strong leadership of Group C Assistant Governor Ray Delo, Rotary Club of Hershey Club President Mike Kinney, and the efforts of the hosting club committee the event, which marked the 41st RMB networking event of Rotary District 7390 RMB District-Centered Model’s history, was an unqualified success providing the basis for many great connections being made and much excellent fun and fellowship enjoyed.  Kudos too go to Troegs Independent Brewing for providing such a perfect venue and such great beer ably dispensed by Charley who gave a very fine review of the history and vision of Troegs Independent Brewing.  Special mention to the Rotary Club of Palmyra who attended the event with an especially large group of their Rotarians and made an award presentation to a local businessman.  Well done all.
