Philadelphia

Springfield Township Rotary Club welcomed guest speaker Dave Brown, Esq. Mr. Brown is a local sports officiant and lover of the Philadelphia sports teams. His recent book, “Philly Jocks: The Best Philadelphia Pro Athletes of Our Time” was the subject of his talk at Rotary. Mr. Brown interviewed 100 local people who are very familiar with Philadelphia sports teams, people like Ray Dittinger and Chris Wheeler. Rotarians turned out to be excellent sports fans themselves, guessing the majority of the top 100 athletes listed in Mr. Browns book, which he has memorized by heart. The top 5 were 1. Wilt Chamberlain, 2. Julius Irving, 3. Michael Schmidt, 4. Steve Carlton, and 5. Bobby Clarke. If you want to know the rest, his book is available in paper back and on Amazon.

To Benefit Face To Face Toiletries For Washeteria

Offering dignity, compassion, and a sense of community to hundreds of disenfranchised men, women and children, Face to Face, a 501(c)(3) human services organization in Germantown, is a haven offering food, human warmth, and access to solutions for life’s challenges.

Many guests suffer from physical and/or mental health ailments, drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress syndrome and homelessness.

From its origins as a soup kitchen in 1985, Face To Face has evolved into a multi-faceted organization dedicated to caring for every aspect of its clients’ well being on an individualized, person-to-person basis.

Located at 109 Price Street, in an historic building rented from St. Vincent’s Parish, the Dining Room serves about 500 free meals each week on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

For most, the sense of social connection and acceptance they experience within the walls of Face to Face is as nourishing as the food itself.

Through many years of commitment to its community, Face to Face has created an environment of trust and hospitality that reacquaints each guest with his/her humanity.

Support services include a health care center, legal and social services, computer training, creative arts studios, and children’s after school and summer programming.

In addition to these services, a Washeteria provides visitors with a place to shower and do laundry.

Face to Face relies on in-kind donations to meet the basic needs of its clients. Face to Face currently needs the following toiletries (small/travel size): Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, Soap, Deodorant, Disposable Razors, Shaving Lotion, Shampoo, Conditioner and Washcloths.

With a unified dedication, Rotary and our community can make a difference helping our neighbors – face to face.

Rotary is collecting: toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, disposable razors, shaving lotions, shampoo, conditioner, and washcloths
