“It is easier to build strong children than repair broken men.” Frederick Douglas
This year, our Club, has committed to raise $30,000 during Give Local York to partner with York City
Police Commissioner Michael Muldrow in the creation of a Community Engagement Center in the City of
York. The Center will be a safe space for youth and their families and will provide free access to middle
and high school youth to take part in activities they are interested in. Activities will include: culinary,
dance, performing arts, video gaming and technology and fitness – as well as a safe space with police
and police cadets as mentors, offering conflict resolution, tutoring and career guidance. Youth will also
have access to meals, wellness checks, laundry and therapeutic services.
The Rotary Club of York will receive a naming opportunity for the multi-purpose gym space –Commissioner Muldrow has coined it the “Rotary Room.” You can make your gift on May 6
th at
www.givelocalyork.org,
Rotary Club of York or contact Lynne by May 5th to make a donation by check.
100% of your gift will be used to equip the Community Engagement Center and help intervene and
build these children strong. Please help us make this visionary space and program a reality - your gift
will change a child's life - giving them the adult support they need to find their passion and guide them
on a productive, positive path.
As a follow up to the Rotary meeting on April 6 with CDRC, members are encouraged to begin collecting household plastics. All plastics can be placed in the green bags provided by CDRC and
