Rotary Club of Gettysburg in action! Recently, six-members of our Club teamed up to clean-up both sides of Route 30 between the Borough of Gettysburg line and Highway 15. They filled several trash bags with discarded items and broken car parts. No item was too small for this intrepid group to capture. The annual roadside cleanup is a longstanding Rotary Club of Gettysburg tradition. Great job team!

The Rotary Club of Gettysburg pays tribute this week to former Rotarian and Immediate Past President, David Kushner who passed on March 28th. We remembered David's service to our community at our April 6th club luncheon through a thoughtful invocation by one of our members.

David carried our organization out of the challenging COVID times, and we were blessed to have him at the helm.
