The library 📚 needs our help!!!

We need helping hands through Sunday!

Thanks to the amazing work so far, all of the bases and nearly half the bookcases are now secured to the floor!

Our top priority today is:

➡️ Moving books onto the installed bookcases
➡️ Lifting and placing bookcases onto their bases (strong backs needed!)

Huge thanks to Jackson Lodge No. 19 for lending their strength last night! 💪

We’ve still got some painting, hanging signs, and other finishing touches, but we can't move forward until the bookcases are cleared.

Grateful for an Incredible First Year! 💙💛

It’s hard to believe our first year as the Delaware City Rotary Club is already behind us and what a meaningful and inspiring journey it’s been.

As the club’s inaugural Chair, I want to thank each of you for your dedication, compassion, and willingness to jump in wholeheartedly. In just 10 months, we proved what a small but mighty group of Rotarians can accomplish together:

📚 Supporting students through backpack drives, book donations, and library box installations
🍎 Celebrating educators with a Wawa-sponsored appreciation event
💙 Volunteering at the Food Bank, wrapping gifts for UNICEF, collecting toiletries, and ringing bells for the Salvation Army
🔥 Serving at Delaware City Day, the Fire House Open House, and hosting both a coat drive and a holiday tree sale
🎗️ Raising awareness for ovarian cancer with “Turn the Town Teal” in partnership with Town Hall

Each of these efforts reflects our deep commitment to Service Above Self and this is only the beginning!

To our members: thank you for your spirit, your time, and your trust. To our partners: thank you for walking this journey with us. And to the MOT Rotary Club, Celeste Bevans, and John Nanni: your mentorship and encouragement made all the difference; we are so grateful.

As I pass the torch, I’m thrilled to welcome Autumn as our new Chair. Her enthusiasm, heart, and leadership are exactly what we need as we step into year two and I know the future of our club is in great hands!

Here’s to the next chapter, and to continuing the good work we’ve started together!

With gratitude,
Crystal

🕊️ Commemorating Juneteenth 🕊️
Today, the MOT Rotary Club Rotary District 7630 joins communities across the United States in commemorating Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the U.S. and honors the enduring strength, culture, and contributions of African Americans.

On this important day, we reflect on our shared commitment as Rotarians to promote peace, advance equity, and create lasting change in our communities and around the world.

Let us use this day not only to celebrate progress but to continue building a world where freedom, dignity, and opportunity are realities for all.
