Last Tuesday evening, August 5, under the starlit sky, the Camden Wyoming Club had the pleasure of joining a spirited baseball game featuring the Shorebirds, with a noble cause at its heart. The proceeds were dedicated to supporting the global fight against polio, drawing an impressive gathering of 135 Rotarians from District 7630. It was a delightful occasion that brought our Rotary family together in unity and celebration, amidst a feast of food and an abundance of joy.
As the game reached its seventh inning stretch—a moment famously infused with anticipation—the atmosphere brimmed with camaraderie. It was then that past district governor Bill Ferguson took a moment to honor Max Hutsel with a Rotary Paul Harris pin, acknowledging his generous financial contributions to polio eradication, a cause close to all our hearts.
Our club was well-represented with nine members in attendance, joining numerous other clubs and esteemed district governors, both past and present. The evening was not just a testament to our commitment to a philanthropic cause, but also a celebration of community and fellowship within the Rotary. #rotarydistrict7630
On the splendid Saturday of August 1st, the Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club was a vibrant participant at the Town of Wyoming Peach Festival.

On Wednesday, July 30th, the Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club was delighted to welcome Tom Malkiewicz as its esteemed guest speaker. Addressing the future of Rotary membership, Mr. Malkiewicz presented an inspiring vision. He emphasized the importance of nurturing and mentoring students from institutions like Del State, guiding them towards their entrepreneurial aspirations. By investing in these young minds, he believes that as they achieve success, they will fondly remember the Rotarians who supported their journey. This sense of gratitude, he proposed, will encourage them to join the Rotary themselves, thus perpetuating the cycle of mentorship and community service.
