Welcome to the Rotary Club of Jim Thorpe web site.  My main plan for our club this year is to continue to seek out opportunities for service and have fun doing it so we can increase recognition of our club both in our community at large and at the district level.  By being an important part of our local community, our club joins in the 2011-2012 Rotary International theme, "Reach Within to Embrace Humanity."

Each year, we sponsor a number of projects and on-going programs:  clothing at Christmas for disadvantaged children, dictionaries to every third grader in the district and parochial school, college scholarships to four graduating seniors from three area high schools, scholarships to rising juniors to attend the district's summer Rotary Youth Leadership Awards gathering, a summer day camp here in town, an essay contest, and a student of the month program in which local seniors attend weekly Rotary meetings to gain an appreciation of a community service organization.  The club also sends and receives students in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.  The club continues to support The Rotary International Foundation's Every Member, Every Year Program and Polio Plus.

All this is made possible through our three fundraising activites: GhostWalks, Enchanted Evening, Calendars and, most recently, the Victorian House Tour.  Try them!

Please be sure to check back often to see what projects we're working on or participating in!

Yours in Rotary,
