2nd Annual Wine and Beer Tasting Fun for All

May 18, 2019 by Tim Ernst Leave a Comment

On Thursday, May 16, hundreds gathered for the Second Annual Rotary Wine and Beer Tasting at the Flourtown Country Club. Raffles and a Silent Auction complimented vendors from area wineries, restaurants, beer distributors and brewers serving up samples of their wines and brews. Fort Washington’s School of Rock provided a lively accompaniment of classic rock and ballets as the crowd enjoyed a lovely evening overlooking the club’s golf course. All proceeds from this event benefit the programs conducting locally and internationally by the Springfield Township Rotary Club and is the groups largest fundraiser of the year, replacing the carnival held for many years. The club thanks everyone who came out to make the event a success and all the vendors and sponsors for their support. Vendors included: Chaddsford Winery, Pio Wines, Blue Mountain Vineyards, Cardinal Hollow Winery, Magerks Pub and Grill, Flourtown Beverage, Well Crafted Beer Co.

Director of Nyaka School Updates Rotarians

August 18, 2013 by Tim Ernst Leave a Comment

Springfield Rotary Club was pleased to welcome Barbara Kroberger, Director for the Nyaka School, who shared with the Club her recent travels to Uganda to an AIDS Orphanage. The Springfield Rotary Club donated enough funds to build a home, latrine, and kitchen hut for a grandmother. In Africa, an entire generation has been wiped out due to AIDS, leaving grandmothers to care for a generation of children. Ms. Kroberger and others were able to raise $30,000 to build 10 new homes for the grandmother. The Nyaka School also supports primary schools and medical clinics for the community’s they service.
