SUMMARY:District Governor Dawn Linn\, Official Visit
DESCRIPTION:Retired CEO\, Professional Philanthropist\, and Accidental Daredevil (Mostly on Purpose)\nDawn Linn isn’t your average retiree. After steering the YWCA Northcentral PA as CEO from 2017 to January 2025\, she hung up her executive hat\, but definitely not her sense of adventure. Before leading the YWCA\, she spent 14 years as the VP of Planned Philanthropy at the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania\, where she practically wrote the book on cultivating generosity. And yes\, she did that after a 15-year award-winning banking career that started at Peoples State Bank and peaked at Wachovia Wealth Management. \nBut here’s the thing: Dawn isn’t just about spreadsheets and strategic plans. She’s a secret (or not-so-secret anymore) thrill-seeker! Forget quiet evenings; Dawn’s been known to rappel down buildings (yes\, the tallest one in Williamsport\, thank you very much)\, zip-line through forests\, conquer white-water rapids\, and even explore canyons. Think Indiana Jones\, but with a better understanding of charitable giving. \nWhen she’s not chasing adrenaline\, Dawn enjoys more grounded pursuits. You’ll find her creating stunning silk flower arrangements\, tending her vibrant garden\, or getting lost in a good light fiction novel—because even superheroes need downtime. \nHer community involvement is legendary. A Past President of the Williamsport Rotary Club\, she also served as Secretary and Foundation Chair for the club and was an Area 4 Governor. She’s the founder of the Northcentral PA Estate Planners Council and a dedicated advocate for her community\, Dawn has a heart as big as her travel itinerary. Her passion projects through Rotary include the Junior Rotarian program (a proud annual project since 1936)\, Highway Cleanup\, the Brandon Park Garden\, 3rd Grade Dictionaries\, and the Indoor Mini Golf initiative. Speaking of travel\, she’s a true explorer\, always ready to dive into new cultures and sample exotic cuisines. \nWhy Rotary? Why be a District Governor?\nService has always been at the heart of who she is. Whether organizing local initiatives or building bridges between neighbors\, she believes true leadership begins with listening\, connecting\, and rolling up our sleeves to make a difference. As District Governor\, she committed to nurturing the spirit of service and deepening the community connections that bring lasting impact to every corner of District 7360. \nOn the personal side\, Dawn has been married to Thomas for 39 years\, and proud mother of three adopted grown children\, Dawn proves you can balance a stellar career with a life full of adventure and heart. So\, if you’re looking for someone who can manage a multi-million-dollar budget and then leap off a building\, you’ve found her.

SUMMARY:Winery Bus Tour\, April 26 (RSVP by April 18)
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event has been closed. We are at capacity for the tour.\nLast year’s winery bus tour for our club was a big hit and our Club Services Committee has\, by popular demand\, scheduled one for this spring! Mark your calendars for Saturday\, April 26th. We’ve reserved another 25-person mini-coach bus from Elite Excursions WV to transport us to several wineries as outlined below (each stop will last about 90 minutes). The cost is $50/person (with members encouraged to tip the driver at the end if they are pleased with the service). Use the form\, below\, to sign up. Note: Wine\, beer\, and food purchases are NOT included – this cost is just for the transportation for the day to the wineries\, where you don’t have to worry about driving. Plus the fun we have on the bus\, with music and good friends together\, is not to be missed (if last time is any indication)! \nThis is likely going to sell out quickly. Registration priority will be for Rotarians and their partners. If we have left over spots\, we’ll let members invite outside friends. \nThe itinerary is as follows: \nSaturday\, Apr 26th 2025 \n11:30 AM: Bus pick-up at Bavarian Inn \n12:15 PM: First Stop – Bluemont Station Brewery & Winery (Bluemont\, VA). Like last time\, this is also a great starting point for a good lunch that they make there. \n2:15 PM: Second Stop – 868 Estate Vineyards (Purcellville\, VA). A favorite winery for many Rotarians (some who have memberships there) and there will be a live band that day as we stop there. \n4:00 PM: Third Stop – Two Twisted Posts Winery (Purcellville\, VA). Another quaint winery tucked along Harpers Ferry Road that will also have live music that day. \n5:45PM: Drop off at Bavarian Inn (please be responsible and have arrangements to take you home if you’ve participated a little too much with the wine/beer drinking that day) \nHope to see you there and be on the lookout soon for registration information! \nCheers\, \nSean Murtagh & the Club Services Committee \n*Contact Sean at 202-603-3997 if you have any questions.Winery Tour

SUMMARY:Paul Harris Candidate Nominations Due
DESCRIPTION:I am pleased to announce the initiation of this year’s Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) candidate nomination and selection program.  The program was created by our club to recognize and award our highest club honor to club and community members who exemplify “Service Above Self” in all that they say and do. While we as Rotarians all follow this mantra\, there are those among us who consistently exceed expectations and deserve special recognition by our club. The identification and nomination of these unique individuals is up to you. \nThe nomination forms for club member(s) and community member(s) can be downloaded below. Also attached are a list of all club members showing their current PHF status\, and a list of community members that have been awarded a PHF in the past. \nAny member of our club can nominate a club and/or community member for this award. However\, a current PHF must sponsor the nomination. All nominations must be in writing (typed or handwritten) on the appropriate attached form\, and submitted to me by April 16\, 2025. The completed nomination forms will be circulated to all club PHFs for final selection via majority vote at a special breakfast held for this purpose. The tentative date for this breakfast will be on or about May 6\, 2025. While the final number of awards has not been established to date\, it will be determined by the club board of directors at some point in the near future and announced at the PHF breakfast. \nPlease do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this very important club function. \nSincerely\, \nWalt Eifert \nDocument Resources: \n2025 PHF Club Member Nomination Form \n2025 PHF Community Member Nomination Form \nList of 2025 Club PHFs2025  \nCommunity PHF Awards History dft 3 25 \n

SUMMARY:Challenges in International Conservation with Daan Vreugdenhill
DESCRIPTION:Daan Vreugdenhil has been involved in service clubs for nearly 45 years\, starting with the Round Table in the Netherlands around 1980 before joining Shepherdstown Rotary 25 years ago. An avid outdoorsman\, he enjoys skiing\, hiking\, speedskating\, kayaking\, scuba diving\, cycling\, photography\, and classic cars. \nA leading conservation ecologist\, Daan holds a doctorate from Wageningen University\, one of the world’s top green universities. Since 1969\, he has worked globally in conservation\, speaking seven languages and traveling to 90 countries. He has led National Geographic-style expeditions in uncharted jungles of South America and Africa\, including the first to Ecuador’s Yasuni area. \nHis half-century career includes work with the UN’s FAO\, Rijkswaterstaat\, IDB\, GIZ\, USAID\, and other international institutions. In 1989\, he founded the World Institute for Conservation and Environment (WICE). He played a key role in selecting Ecuador’s first protected areas\, including Yasuni National Park and Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve\, and pioneered ecotourism in Ecuador with the Cuyabeno Lodge. \nDaan believes national parks must generate economic interest to ensure political support and prevent destruction. Now\, he is developing “national parks tours” to promote conservation through responsible tourism. Meanwhile\, international climate and conservation conferences continue to struggle with financing solutions\, as ambitious environmentalists clash with slow-moving political systems.

SUMMARY:Four-Way test Speech Contest
DESCRIPTION:Jen Wabnitz and the Club Service Committee have been working hard for our club to host a Four Way Test Speech Contest.  What is a Four Way Test Speech Contest?  It engages local school students in embracing the high ethical standards our Four Way Test embodies by applying its principles to a current ethical issue. Students are challenged to identify a topic they feel passionate about and to adopt a point of view from which they will seek to persuade others. It should be something from the student’s personal experience or general knowledge. There are no restrictions regarding the choice of topic as long as it is not blatantly offensive. \nEach part of the Four Way Test should be addressed during the speech. They should be specifically stated\, as the intent of the speech is to use the Four Way Test to resolve an issue. Each part could be used to prove either a positive or negative point.  We will have five club members serving as judges.  Two winners will be announced tomorrow morning at the conclusion of the contest\, and they will have the opportunity to advance to a district-level contest. \nThe good news – we have 11 students from Jefferson High School as participants!  We will have a club member time each speech; there is a time limit of 7 minutes or less.  The not quite as good news – we will have to start the contest very soon after 7:30 a.m. and our meeting may not conclude until the 9 a.m. range.  We will move it along as quickly as we can but we also want to be fair to each participant.  If you need to depart the meeting before we are finished\, please try to do so in between participant speeches.  Each student spends much effort preparing and rehearsing their speeches\, so thank you in advance for being patient with the time needed.
