Kiwanis Lake Project,Aaron Jacobs,Rotary Club of York PA,Meeting,04/15/2020 York City’s Kiwanis Lake is one of the most prominent water features in our community and the Rotary Club of York has identified this landmark community legacy to be its focus project for Give Local York on May 1 to concentrate on repairing and restoring the lake as well as adding new ‘Smart Lake Technology’. This program outlines PPE’s 5 step plan to have Kiwanis Lake functioning better than it ever has by 2021 and showing our community the tremendous impact that York Rotary has.
Although this is a man-made body of water, it has become a haven for aquatic life and park visitors year-round. Unfortunately, the lake has suffered in recent decades due to changes in the upstream environment, failing mechanical and maintenance features as well as an imbalance of wildlife, lake nutrients and water quality.

TOTES OF HOPE The Rotary Club of York sponsored the summer Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program at York High. The students in the program did weekly community service projects for various non-profit organizations. One of the projects was to make blankets and assemble care bags for the American Red Cross “Totes of Hope” Program. The “Totes of Hope” are given to homeless veterans and veterans in VA hospitals. The students made 23 blankets that were placed in “Totes of Hope” bags along with toiletries, socks, and a puzzle book. On November 21, 2019, the students were awarded the Youth Impact Red Cross Hero Award by the South Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Red Cross for their work with the “Totes of Hope” Program. The Rotary Club of York donated the funds to purchase the blankets and Rotarians helped and interacted with the students at every blanket making session. Some of the students in the program have recently been relocated to the mainland of the United States from Puerto Rico after losing their homes to Hurricane Maria. Providing the blankets to homeless veterans is a project that is very close to their hearts. Contact Person: Ashlee Etzweiler EtzweilerFH@outlook.com

The attendees were treated to an outstanding performance of “I’m proud to be an American” by Alexandria Hynoski and an impressive performance by the William Penn JROTC color guard. Those participating in the ceremony and those attending expressed compliments and gratitude for the project and the ceremony. Vice Admiral Miller described it as "world-class".

Rotary Club of York, PA raised $66,000 that will be spent to benefit the youth of York City In 2019, the Fundraising Committee focused its efforts to raise money to support the fit-out of the science labs at the Upper School of the York Academy. The two main events included the Give Local York Campaign in May and the Love Fore Community Outing in September.  The Give Local efforts result in ~$20,000 of funds raised through online donations the day of the event. As a centerpiece, we coordinated three different science experiences with some of the students at the York Academy. The Love Fore Community event included golf, tennis, croquet, a dinner and a live auction. All events had full fields and the resulting moneys raised totaled ~$46,000. This amount represented the second highest level ever achieved in the 15+ year history of the event. Because of the generous efforts of all the event organizers, the RCY members and those that supported the event, we continue to make a tangible and positive impact in our community.
