On Saturday April 23rd, we started a project that we have been planning for many months. The 1st phase was planting 15 trees at The Weisel Preserve. We worked in partnerships with Warrington's Environmental Action Committee. The 2nd phase is to install 3 benches for the community of Warrington to enjoy this wonderful reserve. Pictured below are some of the dedicated Warrington Rotarians and members of the Warrington Environmental Action Committee. Not pictured are Peter Clayton, Ruth Zeiner, Meghan Schroeder, and Gianna Schroeder. Here are some more photos of the day.

 

 

 

On Saturday November 13th, Glenn Natter had the pleasure donating 21 Thanksgiving meals to the residents of Willow Knoll. Our club donated 10 Thanksgiving dinners as part of Shragher Chiropractic's Thanksgiving meal drive.

Steve Hazzard a Warrington architect and board member of Hatboro Federal Savings was one of the founding members of our club in 1965. On Steve’s passing in 2007 the board of Hatboro Federal Savings decided to memorialize him and his community work by funding an annual Rotary scholarship in his name. Subsequently every year since then the bank has donated $1,000 and a scholarship has been awarded as the “Stephen B. Hazzard Memorial Scholarship”.

Shortly after the Warrington Rotary Club was founded in 1965, the Neshaminy Manor nursing home project started as an on-going project for the club.  On the first Wednesday of the month, following our regular meeting club members visit residents who are celebrating their birthdays that month. We will talk to them, sing Happy Birthday and give them a small gift.
