From Feed My Starving Children to Shop with a Cop - Rotarians Act!

Welcome! The Warrington Rotary Club is a group of community-minded residents and neighbors who come together for service and fellowship.  Our service projects and fundraising are directed to local, national, and international causes.  We are always seeking out like-minded folks to join us in putting "Service Above Self." Reach out to us or join us at a club meeting to learn how you can get involved.

In August we welcomed Gary Martin, a world renowned NCAA track star attending University of Virginia and a graduate of Arch Bishop Wood. He talked about his goal to break a four-minute mile, and his feeling of accomplishment when he achieved a 3:48:82 indoor mile! šŸ˜³šŸ‘šŸ¤© amazing!!! He plans on becoming a professional runner after he graduates and continuing to push the boundaries! Check out his stats!

The Rotary Club of Warrington, PA Donates over $4,000 of infant, toddler, and adult diapers to The Family Service Association of Bucks County, PA

Recently, several members of the Rotary Club of Warrington, PA delivered four pallets of infant, toddler, and adult diapers to the Food, Pet & Diaper Pantry of the Family Service Association of Bucks County, PA, (ā€œFSAā€) located in Langhorne, PA.
This was accomplished through a district grant, submitted by Lou Altomari,  recognizing an extreme shortage of diapers at the Philadelphia Diaper Bank and area pantries. This shortage is driven by fewer agencies offering this service, exacerbated by increasing prices and a higher demand for support services due to an estimated 4.5% of the Central Bucks area population living in poverty based on the 2023 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates of the US Census Bureau.
 
Next year, we will kick off an annual diaper drive in the Warrington area from mid-April to mid-May, with collection boxes located at local businesses.
The War Memorial at Igoe Wellings Park in Warrington, PA

A LASTING LEGACY – HONORING WARRINGTON RESIDENTS WHO SERVED AMERICA

In our country, people have found many special ways to show thanks and respect to those who have served others. One great example is the War Memorial in Igoe Wellings Park in Warrington. This memorial honors the men and women who served—and some who gave their lives—to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. Many people in Warrington may not know the full story behind the memorial, including how it was created and how it's used today by our Veterans Affairs Committee.

In 2005, Ruth Zeiner, a past president of the Warrington Rotary Club, helped start this important project. Rotary International was celebrating its 100th anniversary and asked clubs around the world to create lasting projects in their communities. The Warrington Rotary decided to honor local residents who had served in the military. That idea led to the creation of the War Memorial.

Before the current memorial, there was a wooden one built in 1943 to honor those who served in World War II. In 2005, a new, more permanent granite memorial was built in the same spot. It was funded by donations and support from Dennis Igoe, who wrote to the Board of Supervisors. The site location was Rotarian John Paul's idea, and the new memorial kept the same names and information as the original wooden one. The total cost was $25,000, and many Rotary Club members helped with the design, building, and landscaping.

On May 23, 2012, the township inducted a record 40 new Township veterans onto the new War Memorial. These veterans joined the names of heroes who collectively served in all branches of the United States Armed Forces.

This and future Memorial Day events wouldn’t be possible without the vision and hard work of the Warrington Rotary Club. Thanks to their dedication, donations, and efforts, the memorial stands today as a peaceful place where the community can remember and honor its heroes. The township gave a special thank-you to the Rotary for their leadership and commitment to creating this lasting tribute.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Donna Sempowski & Mary Roth from the Warrington Historical Society. They spoke to us about the restoration of the old Warrington Schoolhouse on the corner of Countyline & Folly Road. For anyone interested, they will be having an open house on Saturday October 11, 2025 from 10am - 2pm.

A Message from our President
It is with humble thanks and appreciation that I am honored to be the 2024 - 2026 President of the Warrington (PA, USA) Rotary which takes an interest in serving our local community, in addition to servicing our district and global initiatives. I follow a long line of talented and giving individuals who have led this club for the last 60 years.
We are a 100% Paul Harris Fellow club, with each of our members contributing to Rotary International service initiatives. We are a strong and vibrant club!
Thanks are not enough to express my gratitude to all the members and volunteers that have made this club what it is. The impact we have with our seniors at Neshaminy Manor, our local families at the Barclay Elementary School Food Distribution, the Warrington kids and their families at Shop with a Cop, and the kids at the elementary schools that receive the "I Like Me" books, are just a few of the peoples' lives that are touched by this club. I could not be prouder to serve as the President for such a strong and dynamic group of individuals who truly believe in Service Above Self.
