Rotary Club of Lititz Supports Civil Air Patrol with $1,250 Contribution
The Rotary Club of Lititz recently recognized a longtime community partner with a $1,250 contribution to the “JesseJones” Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, which will soon be renamed the Lancaster Composite Squadron.
The contribution was presented during the Club’s August 25 dinner meeting by Tom Oehme, Chairman of the Lititz Rotary Craft Show Committee. Accepting on behalf of the squadron were Lt. Col. Chris Porter, Lt. Lucy Drager, 1st Lt. and Finance Officer Terri Deihl, Major Pepper Broad and Master Sergeant Camben Rineer.
For many years, members of the squadron have generously volunteered their time to help make the annual Lititz Rotary Craft Show a success. The Rotary Club was pleased to recognize their continued service and partnership with this contribution.
Civil Air Patrol’s mission, “Volunteers Serving America’s Communities, Saving Lives, and Shaping Futures,” is carried out through three primary programs: emergency services, aerospace education and cadet programs. Its members are guided by the core values of integrity, volunteer service, excellence and respect.
The $1,250 contribution is part of the Rotary Club of Lititz’s ongoing distribution of funds to organizations serving Lititz and the surrounding community. These contributions are made possible through proceeds from the annual Lititz Rotary Craft Show, held each year on the second Saturday in August.
Through the Craft Show and other initiatives, the Rotary Club of Lititz is proud to put Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self into action by supporting organizations and volunteers who make a difference in the local community.
