Morrisville-Yardley Area Rotary Club highlights
The community support of the club’s recent Gourmet Breakfast at the Morrisville United Methodist Church was very much appreciated.
The proceeds help support a number of local and global service projects, from sending selected members of the Rotary-sponsored Morrisville High School Leadership Academy, to the Rotary District’s Camp Neidig leadership development program, to its pure water project to help people in Peru, to support of Rotaplast (cleft palate and lip surgeries), ShelterBox (emergency shelter and supplies), and global eradication of Polio.
It should be noted that five young ladies from the Leadership Academy were of great help with the Gourmet Breakfast: Jenna Souyack, Emily Meyer, Casey Hollopeter, Jessica Martin and Cassidy Shelmelia.
Thanks, girls!
