All Hands on Deck for TOMN
Fellow Rotarians and Friends,
 
The great news we have 22 restaurants confirmed the Taste of Metro North on March 14.  Now we need to make sure we have attendees registered.
 
We need your to help with the following three things to make this event successful:
 
1. Go on line to www.tasteofmetronorth.com and sign up, remember its more money at the door and double money for Rotarians, if Gregg catches you.
 
2. Tell your family, friends and neighbors to sign up.  We were so successful with a great Club effort getting the restaurants on board. We would hate to have a poor turnout for them and Rotary.  
 
3. Sign up to help us make this a successful event.  Contact Gregg Johnson to fill a volunteer slot.
a. We need help setting up from 3:30-5:00
b. We need help at registration for 2 shifts: 5:00-6:00 & 6:00-7:00
c. We will need some help breaking down between 7:00-8:00.  
 
It’s great to have plenty volunteers so that everyone will get a chance to walk around and sample the food.
 
As always, thanks for you anticipated participation and help.
Get Your Taste Tix!
 
Rotary Recognizes Eagle Scouts
On Sunday, March 4, Reading Rotarian John Halsey presented three Boy Scouts from Troop 728 in Reading with Certificates in honor of their achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.  Troop 728 held an Eagle Court of Honor for Michael Flynn, Nick Nastri and Andrew Yatsuhashi at St. Agnes Parish Center.  Eagle Scout is the highest rank in Boy Scouts of America and requires the Scout to to earn at least 21 Merit Badges, pass through all lower ranks and complete a public service project.  District Governor David Gardner has made Rotary's association with Scouting to be a priority as both organizations have similar community service focuses.  John Halsey, an Eagle Scout himself, is part of District 7930 initiative to work with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. 
 
Congratulations to Michael, Nick and Andrew for this excellent achievement.
 
Reading Rotary Movie Making Days
 
Once upon a time, Reading Rotary was in the movie business.  In 1935, Reading Rotary made a film, "The Movie Queen," which featured a fictional movie star visiting Reading and seeing the sights and people of the town.  
 
Robert Perry discovered the footage at the Reading Public Library.  Robert operates a film company, Province Line Pictures, and he converted the film and edited it into a short film.
 
Robert was generous to share his find with us.
 
Here's the edited version.
 
Here is the unedited version.  
 
You can also find them on the right hand side of our homepage at Links: Rotary Video.
 
Robert has added the music to both.
 
If you like local history, you're in luck.  Enjoy.
