On Tuesday June 30th, the Central Bucks Rotary was proud to welcome our new incoming President, Adam Dries, for the 2020-2021 Rotary Year.

 

2020 has been a different kind of year so far, but Central Bucks Rotary continued the tradition of Change Over Night as we welcomed our new club president Adam Dries. The club would like to say thank you to Jake Taylor for his service as our president this past year. It for sure was a challenge, but Jake kept us on course and made it work. We also want to congratulate Steve Shagen for being voted Rotarian of the year for all his hard work and dedication with our service committee. He helped get a major bathroom renovation for Shamrock Reins during a Pandemic,  Also a big thank you to Pam Northrop who has chaired our membership committee for many years and is stepping down, but will still be a major part of the club. Finally we want to begin our 2020-2021 year and support our new president Adam Dries and give him all the support he needs as we enter a new era of Rotary. But as things change, the motto remains the same and always will --- Service Above Self!!!

  

 

On Wednesday, September 11, 2019, members from Central Bucks Rotary completed the deck rebuild for Greg and Karen McDermott.   Greg McDermott is a retired Navy Electrician with Parkinson's that has progressed to the point that he is no longer employable. Karen McDermott is retired Army Reserves who presently works as a Bensalem Administrator.  The original 16' x 25' deck was demolished the previous week by our members also.  Many thanks to our members who contributed, especially to Kevin Kaufmann for leading this great effort.  The McDermotts are pictured below along with their daughter and members of Central Bucks Rotary.

Tuesday night, December 4, 2018, was a great night to be a Rotarian as Central Bucks Rotary donated over $30,000 to beneficiaries who support our veterans in the local community. This is made possible by the support from so many people who help us with our annual event - Ride For The Heroes.

 

We want to say thank you to our 2018 Commander in Chief Sponsor, Arrow Real Estate Services, and thank you to all our great sponsors, riders, volunteers and fellow Rotarians who work year round to make the ride a success. At our dinner last night we were able to see the fruits of our labor as we put money in the trusting hands of great organizations that support our veterans in many different ways.
