What’s coming up?
The following are some of the projects that we’re most proud of. We’d love to have you come to or help out with any of them! Stay tuned to this page for updates to our projects.
Rotary Dictionary Project
Rotary Chairperson: Jim Flower
The goal of the Dictionary Project is to supply a student dictionary to every third grade public school student within the Owings Mills and Reisterstown communities. Distribution has traditionally been between October and December each year. We have done this project for the past four years.
OMHS Adopt-A-Family
Rotary Chairperson: Various
For the past three years the Rotary Club teamed up with Owings Mills High School to help adopt over 70 families in Baltimore County and Baltimore City that are less fortunate than ourselves. We managed to provide these families with a nice Christmas holiday by collecting and purchasing gifts and collecting food and toiletries for them. Stay tuned next year for more info!
Humane Society of Baltimore County:
Bark in the Park and Paws on Parade
Rotary Chairperson: Rachel Heird
The club got involved in this project to help the Humane Society raise some money for a wonderful cause. Our participation involved raising money through cotton candy sales and other small prizes. A portion of the proceeds was donated to the HSBC.
Reisterstown Festival
Rotary Chairperson: Tom Custance
Thanks to the Reisterstown community for supporting us during this year’s festival! Through our sales of cotton candy and glow necklaces we were able to make generous donations to the Dictonary Project (see above) and the area Volunteer Fire Departments. Thank you, and see you next year!
