Wooster Arts Jazz Fest 2010
|
|
In its seventh year, this daylong festival features fine art and craft, jazz, quality food, a traditional New Orleans-style parade, and free children’s arts activities. The purpose of this festival is to celebrate and support arts and education in our community, and to promote economic development in downtown Wooster. Presented through a partnership between Main Street Wooster Foundation, Inc., the Rotary Club of Wooster, and the Wooster City Schools, the Wooster Arts Jazz Fest is organized by volunteers and funded through donations. The 2010 Wooster Arts Jazz Fest will be the fourth year the Wooster Rotary Club is a partner in the event. Rotary has representation on the committee organizing the event and will be providing volunteers to help make the event a success.

Wooster/Smithville Area Parade of Flags |
|
Help create a community of red, white, and blue! Be one of the first to participate… make a neighborhood statement and join with others on your street to create a corridor of flags. Your Wooster Rotary Club, assisted by local youth groups, will place a 3’x 5’ flag in your front yard for 5 holidays per year, and pick it up again after the holiday. A plastic pipe will be buried in your front lawn permanently, flush with the ground, to hold the flagstaff. A cap will cover the pipe when not in use. The City of Wooster has approved the flag to be placed on “tree lawns” where available. The flag and staff will remain the property of the Wooster Rotary Club. All profits will support community, national, and
international Rotary projects and the local youth groups will receive $1.50 per flag or $7.50 per year from each $25.00 fee. For $25.00 per calendar year, (not pro-rated by holiday) Rotary will
provide and install the pipe and cap, provide the flag, store it
properly when not in use, and deliver and pick up the flag for the
following holidays:
Flag subscriptions make great gifts for all
occasions! |

Thank You From Uganda
|
|
Dear Wooster Rotarians:
I am writing this email to thank you sincerely thank for your
financial support for the orphanage where I volunteer, Savior's Home in Kampala,
Uganda. The children were going to be evicted from their home in November
but thanks to your generosity, the children have now moved to a larger, cleaner
home. The new house permits the children to sleep one to a bed and is
considerably cleaner, allowing the children to stay healthier and happier.
Your generosity has truly changed their lives. To show his appreciation,
the orphanage director, Tim Bata, has written a letter of thanks which I have
attached. I have also attached several photos of the children so you can
see the happy faces of the children you have assisted. Please share this
letter and images with the rest of the club.
Again, thanks for all of your help and generosity over the years. I
really appreciate your help, but more importantly your example of service above
self.
See you when I return!
Bethany Caldwell The letter follows; the images are in a photo gallery, accessible from the bottom of the web page. Just scroll down. |
