 We have exciting news with regard to our Club Succession Planning. The following members have enthusiastically agreed to take on leadership roles in the upcoming Rotary years. 2025-26 Phil Stewart and Amy Walsh, Co-Presidents; President Elect Lisa Simmons 2026-27 Amy Walsh and Lisa Simmons, Co-Presidents; President Elect John Feudo 2027-28 John Feudo, President; President Elect (this could be you) If anyone is interested in assisting with Club leadership, please reach out to President Phil. In addition, we are always looking for people willing to serve on the board and as chairs of our committees. So please don't be shy to step forward. Two of the more persistent issues facing Rotary clubs in North America (as well as other volunteer organizations) are (1) declining membership and (2) leadership succession planning. We are very fortunate to have a solid leadership plan to give out club stability over the next few years. If anyone has any questions, objections or the like, please contact President Phil. Thank you! |

Each year Reading Rotary partners with ReadingCares and the Town of Reading to run the Adopt-a-Family project at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Christmas distribution day was December 19. These community partners coordinate this long-standing community giving program. Receiving families are matched anonymously with donor families and/or groups to provide meal and gifts at Christmas and meals at Thanksgiving. Donors drop off in the first shift, then recipient families pick up their food and gifts during a later shift..png)
