Newark Rotary celebrates 85th anniversary
“In celebrating our 85th anniversary, we also celebrate Norma Madayag-Reilly, as our District Governor for 2011-2012,” Reinhardt said. “Norma is the first District Governor from our club. This is a difficult and time consuming love of Rotary job that means she, along with her husband Gary, will travel to all the district clubs to make her visits. “We are committed to the work of Rotary International which includes support of both community and International Projects,” said Reinhardt. “We have been actively involved with Rotary Camp Onseyawa since it began in 1956. Camp Onseyawa is a camp for children with special needs. Campers have two weeks of camping experience with all the programs that are usual at camps.” “We introduced Arthritis Programs and information to Wayne County with support of the Monroe County Arthritis Chapter,” said Reinhardt. “For this reason the name of the Monroe County Arthritis chapter was changed to the Genesee Valley Arthritis Chapter because services were expanded to Wayne and five other counties.” The year was 1926, the 21st year of the Rotary movement and the year that the Newark Rotary Club began. The Club started on Oct. 28, 1926, with 26 charter members. Today the club membership is about 95, of which many are female Rotarians. Mary Morrison, who played piano at our weekly meeting for many years, was named an Honorary Member. Over the years, Newark Rotarians have given substantial support to Rotary's now Five Avenues of Service: Club, Vocation, International, Community, and New Generations. Newark Rotary sponsored new clubs in Williamson and Wolcott in 1928 and Palmyra in 1950. Each week a club bulletin is published which reflects the personality of our organization. Club meetings are held each Thursday at noon at the Quality Inn in Newark.Gettysburg Quality Inn - News
