NEWS

Our
Annual Ad Booklet, which is distributed at all major Wayne Township events, was a major success for the Club this year.  We were able to raise significant monies to fund the Club’s activities in the Wayne Community.

The Rotary Club of Wayne was No. 1 in the District for 2008-09 per capita Rotary Foundation contributions.
A big thank you to all those Wayne Rotarians who participated!



Giselle Blanco, Radnor High School '10, who attends Manhattan College, was presented with the Rotary Club of Wayne Scholarship.  She is seen above receiving the award and congratulations from incoming Club President Al Marland (right).  The scholarship is the oldest continuously funded program in the Radnor Scholarship Fund, which dates to 1966.

Congrats to Margaret Kuo for completing the Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) programs in 2009-10.  Please see the logo and link above for dates in 2010-11.
