TORNADO DISASTER RELIEF - In February 2010, President Rob, President-Elect Bob Davis, and Bert attended the Large Club Conference, hosted by the Rotary Club of Birmingham, AL. The warm welcome and lavish hospitality shown to us was amazing. They were very proud to show us their beautiful city, dynamic club, and wonderful people. Unfortunately, the neighboring Tuscaloosa, Pratt City area was recently hit by a tornado, doing serious damage to a large part of the city. NOW, The Birmingham Rotary club put together a summer camp for 214 children from the devastated Pratt City area – 10 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 6+ weeks. They hired 41 counselors – mostly high school and college students with roots in the Pratt City area and some regular term teachers for the summer camp, plus cooks, a camp director, the school’s principal, etc. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Make a donation……….IN ANY AMOUNT…....by sending an email to Bert to be invoiced or mailing a check to the Rotary office (payable to The Rotary Club of York; Memo: Tornado Relief), by JULY 10th. Then ONE check will be mailed to The Rotary Club of Birmingham with our encouragement and thanks for their hard work on behalf of those who lost so much. Thank you for your support.
DONATIONS were made to one of the Club’s Charitable funds by the following persons:
Rotarian Henry Kirkpatrick in memory of Bill Swartz ; Joseph & Linda Greenstein in honor or Rotarian Leon Butler’s birthday. Thank you.
The York Rotary Club sponsored 12 high school juniors to attend RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Conference) at Messiah College June 12-16.

PROGRAM: The topic of our program today will be “Street Medicine”, presented by Dr. Jim Withers. Dr. Withers was raised in rural PA where he made house calls with his father, a family practitioner. He graduated from Spring Grove High School in 1976 and completed his medical training at the University of Pittsburgh in 1984. His interest in service orientated medicine grew through medical trips to India and Central America. In 1992, he founded Operation Safety Net, the first full time, comprehensive medical service of its kind for the unsheltered homeless. Medical care is delivered directly on the streets, along the river banks, and in the abandoned building of Pittsburgh.

PROGRAM: There is an epidemic in America today. There is some debate about where it began and how it was spread, but there is little question that it affects every level of society. Whether it is deficits of trillions of dollars at the federal level, or state and city budgets that require series belt tightening, or family budgets that are being challenges in ways we could never before imagine, the bottom line is financial literacy is lacking in America. We have to realize the need for a fundamental transformation in how we approach the topic. We have to relearn the age old concept of living within our means. Today’s speaker is Rotarian Tom Russell, President of Junior Achievement. In today’s presentation, Tom will explore the challenge and what we are doing in our community to address the issue.

PROGRAM: 3Cord Inc. and the YWCA York recently presented a plan to the York City School Board to create a new elementary charter school. The goal of this school is to provide high-quality educational and social services for children from birth to fifth grade. If approved, the first kindergarten class would begin this fall and a subsequent grade would be added each year until reaching final capacity in 2016. Isiah Anderson, managing partner of 3Cord Inc, has developed a unique early childhood-through-elementary school model to combat the educational issues that plague urban communities including York City. The 3Cord and YWCA York partnership takes on the whole child approach, which ensures that our children receive not only rigorous academic instruction but also the social service support they need to become better learners. Having achieved National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation and the highest level in Pennsylvania’s Keystone Stars program, the YWCA York provides outstanding early childhood education to approximately 300 children from birth to age 5. Ruby Martin, chief program officer at YWCA York, has had over 20 years of experience working in early childhood education. She is committed to closing the achievement gap between early childhood and elementary education.

PROGRAM: The Mycenaean civilization peaked 1,000 years before the golden age of Classical Greece. These are the folks who fought the Trojan war, built magnificent citadels with boulders so large the ancients thought only a Cyclops/giant could have moved them, conquered the Minoan civilization, established trade routes and outposts throughout the Mediterranean Sea, built lavish “beehive” Tholos tombs for their leaders, and then mysteriously vanished from history in the 12th century BC. Our own Rotarian Joe Wagman participated in an archaeological dig at Mycenae, the capital city of the Mycenaean world, in the summer of 2009 and will share with us information on this fascinating civilization and the dig that is attempting to rewrite some of the history concerning them.

This Week: Wednesday, February 9, 2011
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
PROGRAM: Our program today will be presented by the York County Heritage Trust. Their newest exhibit, coming in June, shares the personal stories of those who served in war and at home beginning with WWI and culminating with Vietnam. “Front Porch to Front Lines: York County goes to War “brings together artifacts – uniforms, letters, narrated histories – and individual accounts, from our community members which illustrate the triumphs, sacrifices, and memories of those who bore witness to four international conflicts that profoundly effected America’s way of life, while changing generations. The exhibit intertwines the substantial historical information with collections to ensure visitors experience the compelling and selfless commitment by our friends and neighbors. In York County patriotism pulses through our core, the astounding accounts one will experience in this exhibit are guaranteed to increase our collective respect and honor those who sacrificed here at war. The program will be introduced by Rotarian Joan Mummert, President and CEO of the YCHT.

Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
PROGRAM: Our speaker today will be Rep. Stan Saylor, and his topic will be “2011-12 PA House of Representatives Legislation Session Begins with new House Rules and Reform Measures". After the swearing in ceremony, new House Rules were adopted on Jan. 4 by all members. The new rules include comprehensive ethical conduct guidelines to provide clear direction to members and staff regarding legislative activity versus impermissible campaign activities. The new rules also expand the 60-day pre-election prohibition on mass communications to include the distribution of mass e-mails. House leaders also came to an agreement to use the House’s Bipartisan Management Committee (BMC) to address House policies dealing with health care, per diems and auto leases. Leaders are considering the implementation of a cost-sharing plan for legislative health care benefits, a phase-out of car leases for House members, and stricter reporting requirements for per diem payments. Stan Saylor is state representative for the 94th Legislative District, having been elected to the PA House of Representatives in 1992. He received the Elected Official Award from the York County Chamber of Commerce and the Guardian of Small Business Award from the Pennsylvania National Federation of Independent Business. Stan graduated from Dallastown Area High School and majored in political science at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He resides in Windsor Township.

This Week: Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
PROGRAM: The program today will be about Perrydale Farms, located at 90 Indian Rock Dam Road, York. For three generations, the owners of Perrydell Farm have believed that freshness does make a difference in the taste of their milk. The milk can go directly from our cows to the on-farm bottling plant and straight to the shelves of the retail farm store all on the same day. They don't inject the cows with rBST hormones and the only way you can get fresher milk is to buy your own cow! Perrydell Farm is a working and fully self sufficient dairy farm. They own 170 acres of land and also rent an additional 180 acres where they plant and harvest almost everything needed to feed their cows. The farm was bought in 1923 by Howard Perry. His two sons, George and Roger eventually took over the farm and they had the foresight to start bottling their own milk in 1963. Because of this approach, the farm now supports five families from the milk of only 160 cows. This is quite an accomplishment in today’s farming economy. The farm is now owned and operated by George’s sons, Tom, Greg, and Chip. Everyone in the family stays involved in the farm, since there is always work to be done. They consider this a blessing in disguise that always ensures that their family will be together and close.

PROGRAM: On November 2, 2010, Thomas L. Kearney was elected District Attorney of York County, defeating the long-time incumbent, Stan Rebert. Both candidates spoke to Rotary shortly before the election. Mr. Kearney has now agreed to return to give us a chance to follow up on his activities and plans. The title of his speech will be "Stand and Deliver, How I Prepared and What I Have Learned". As the Office of the District Attorney is of critical importance to everyone in the county, this should be a very interesting talk by a very able attorney.

Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
PROGRAM: In February of 2008, Lieutenant Colonel Scott Perry assumed command of 2-104th General Support Aviation Battalion of the PA Army National Guard located at Fort Indiantown Gap. In February of 2009, the 2-104th GSAB was called to active duty to serve its country in Iraq. The battalion trained at Fort Sill, OK and moved into theater shortly after Easter of 2009. The 2-104th GSAB is a General Support Aviation Battalion (Plus) and during their tour of duty were stationed near historic An Nasiriyah, Iraq. The battalion returned home at the beginning of this year. While in Iraq, LTC Perry served as commander of Task Force Diablo. The Task Force was comprised of nearly 700 Soldiers and civilians from both the National Guard and Active Duty components of the US Army, utilizing a large fleet of CH-47 Chinook, UH-60 Blackhawks, and AH-64 Apache helicopters. The Task Force proudly served as the workhorse for the 28th Combat Aviation Brigade, 28th Infantry Div. LTC Perry was proud of all that the Task Force achieved while over in Iraq but none more so than that they were able to return home with all the troops under his command that went over with him. Perry is currently serving his second term in the Pennsylvania State House of Representative serving the 92nd Legislative District and resides in Dillsburg with his wife Christy and one-year old daughter, Ryenn, who was born while he was serving in Iraq.

This Week: Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
PROGRAM: Many are calling this Tuesday a "watershed" election -- either the Republicans will pick up one or both houses of Congress in a wave of voter anger or President Obama will be able to claim a positive referendum on his first two years in office. Further, 37 Governor races will help reshape the political map during the once every ten years of redistricting that will follow in 2011. We are fortunate to have Dr. G. Terry Madonna, Pennsylvania's premier political analyst, here the day following the election to sort through the results and help explain what it all may mean to us and the country. For more than 30 years, Madonna has taught and written about his two academic specialties; the American presidency, and American political parties and political behavior. Dr. Madonna is Director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs, Professor of Public Affairs, and Director of the Franklin & Marshall Keystone Poll.

Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
PROGRAM: Our speaker today will be Republican candidate for Senate, Pat Toomey. Growing up the third of six children in a blue-collar working class family, Pat Toomey was taught the values of hard-work and self-reliance. As a former three-term member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Pat Toomey has distinguished himself as a national advocate for limited government, lower taxes and personal freedom. His dedication to these beliefs earned him recognition from the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, Americans for Tax Reform, the National Taxpayers’ Union and the US Chamber of Commerce. Prior to running for Congress, Pat Toomey was a former successful restaurateur and small business owner. Pat understands that small businesses thrive and create jobs when freed from the yoke of onerous taxes and burdensome regulations.

This Week: Wednesday, October 20, 2010
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
PROGRAM: Our program today will be presented by The York County Alliance for Learning and York County Economic Development Corporation. YCAL is a non-profit organization that works with Businesses and Schools to provide career education, relevant academic experiences, and work-based experiences for all students in York County. The goal is to help students become successful lifelong learners and to help make informed career decisions. The York County Alliance for learning (YCAL) is the result of the merger of First Capital Compact and the School-to-Work (STW) programs, which had common goals. This merger offered the continued opportunity for sustainment under a not-for-profit organization, as well as continued achievement of common goals for both organizations. Rotarian Robert Pullo, President, York Federal Savings and Loan, was the Chair of the new entity. The York County Alliance for Learning was incorporated in 1999 and in July of 2010, the York County Alliance for Learning affiliated with the York County Economic Development Corporation's (YCEDC) Office of Workforce Development. Because YCEDE has a strong connection to the business community and YCAL has a strong connection with education community, this affiliation will improve the implementation of programs, ultimately improving the quality and quantity of opportunities for youth in York County. Speakers will include (Rotarian) Darrell Auterson from YCEDC, and Lisa Dennis and Kathie Ingoglia from YCAL.

Program: In one of the most fascinating and complex First Amendment cases in years, the United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of Snyder v. Phelps -- a case which has received significant national media attention. Mr. Snyder is the father of a deceased Marine. Mr. Phelps is the leader of Kansas church composed almost entirely of his family. In recent times, Phelps has "protested" military funerals as a means of obtaining media attention. Oral argument at the United States Supreme Court is scheduled for October 6, 2010. Sean Summers, Barley Snyder LLC, is lead counsel on the case and will argue the case before the Supreme Court. Sean will provide an update regarding the case and will explain the logistical and procedural process that has transpired, along with a summary of the timeline moving forward. More information concerning the case can be found at www.matthewsnyder.org. Attorney Summers, a veteran himself, is working pro bono on the case and has recently been selected as an “Unsung Hero” by The Legal Intelligencer, for his dedication to the community through his pro bono services.
