Celebrating Changeover!
Every year in June, Rotary clubs in District 7430 celebrate "Changeover" where the new executive staff for the coming fiscal year is officially welcomed.  This year, we welcome Mike Cerino as the clubs new president and salute 2-term past president Karin Suttmann for her service to Rotary.  We shared the packed evening celebration with members of the Huntingdon Valley-Churchville club and community leaders.  Rotary has a robust succession program to ensure club livelihood and innovation.  After a spirited presentation from Past President Suttmann, all former club presidents in attendance stepped forward and officially passed the gavel from each other, to incoming President Cerino.  
 
President Cerino will lead the club during the 2024-25 fiscal year.  Past-President Suttmann now steps into the role of ambassador and leading all supporting efforts for the coming year.

Memorial Day 2024
 
Warminster and Huntingdon Valley Churchville Rotarians participated in the 2024 Warminster Township Memorial Day parade! The weather was overcast and a threatening storm held off until the completion of the parade. This was the first joint event between the two partner clubs. Our caravan consisted of a decorated car, the Warminster Food Bank Van and the retro Huntindgon Valley Churchville Club Rotary Wheel trailer.   
  
Not Just A Bench
This is not just a bench.
No....it's a lot more.
It's in a very special place where children play and learn.  Where parents realize love.
Where friends are made, friendships nurtured, and futures dreamed.
It's part of our hometown where memories are made and kept alive.
Two such profound friends were Bryan Benson and Seann Campbell.
Try as we may to validate the pain we endure, even after 30 years, we have hope.
No, this is not just a bench. It's so much more.
 
Maybe you'll sit on this bench. Maybe you'll pass by and read what it says. Maybe someone will rest for a moment. 
Maybe two young children will sit here and share all the stuff that makes for an everlasting friendship.  
 
This is a beacon of hope.
It's one small gesture toward improving our community and keeping the memory of Bryan and Seann alive.

Warminster Rotary Awarded Prestigious Rotary Citation
On 8/14/23, past District Governor Len Giesler awarded the Warminster Rotary Club the prestigious Rotary Citation for the 2022-23 fiscal year.  This is the most significant award a Rotary club can receive. The Rotary Citation award recognizes the hard work clubs do throughout the year. Working to achieve the citation goals helps clubs engage their members, stay relevant in their communities, and run more efficiently. A welcoming and engaging club not only fosters a positive experience for its members, but also reflects the values of Rotary. When clubs achieve citation goals, they contribute to the overall health and culture of Rotary for generations to come. During a year that was challenging for many Rotarians and clubs around the world, the Warminster Rotary club demonstrated a commitment to achieve our goals, which ultimately helps strengthen Rotary and shape our future. 
Congratulations to the Warminster Rotary Club
Visit from Warminster K9 Officer Bolt and Srgt O'Neill
 
 
 
On 8/9/23 the Warminster Rotary Club hosted Sergeant Chris O’Neill and K9 Officer Bolt from the Warminster Township police department.  Bolt is an 83+ pound German Shepherd and is fully trained for article searches, tracking, and much more.  He works with Sergeant O’Neill in drug detection and/or bomb detection.  Bolt and his counterpart, K9 Officer Link serve Warminster township and surrounding areas in Bucks County.  O’Neill and Bolt demonstrated their tactics and how they work together.  Quite a playful pup, but when he’s on duty it’s all business. Bolt lives with the O’Neill family and will do so after he retires. Thank you Sergeant O’Neill and Officer Bolt for your service and for making our community a better and safer place to live. 
 
      
 
 
BENSON-CAMPBELL MEMORIAL FUND
A reward fund created in 1993 to help catch the person(s) responsible for murdering two young Warminster men, Bryan Benson and Seann Campbell is being repurposed to help local food banks and disadvantaged youth, a request made by the victims’ families who said they want to see the money help the community that helped them in their time of need.  In 2021, the Warminster Rotary Club Foundation accepted $61,545.86 from the Benson-Campbell Reward Fund, which had been sitting dormant.   
Benson and Campbell were best friends and working together at the West Coast Video in Rosemore Shopping Center when they were brutally murdered on Nov. 10, 1993.  Their killings remain unsolved.
At the time, Benson’s parents, Janice and Gary Benson, and Campbell’s parents, Bonnie and Greg Youngers, helped establish the Benson-Campbell Reward Fund.  Residents of Warminster and surrounding communities donated more than $52,000.  The money was placed into an account, and no disbursements of the reward money were ever made.  As time passed and with bank consolidations, the identity of the custodian of the Benson-Campbell Reward Fund became lost.
Recently, Attorney Sean Corr, representing Campbell’s parents, with the assistance of Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub and the office’s Victim Witness Coordinator Itzamir Pagan, was able to determine the ownership and origins of the reward fund.
Corr, a past member of the Warminster Rotary Club, met with both families and the Board of the Warminster Rotary Foundation.
Both families said they were touched by the support of the community over the years and, in consultation with Corr and DA Weintraub, determined the money, now found, should be used to better the community.
While they have not lost faith that someone will help provide information that would bring the parties responsible for the murder of their sons to justice, both families felt the money should be reinvested locally.
“Brian and Sean deserve justice,” District Attorney Matt Weintraub said. “But I take some solace by helping to their parents’ wishes that something good could be done in our community with the reward fund once we were able to help recover this money for them.”
The families said their hope is to see the funds managed by an organization with local roots, strong leadership focused efforts to improve the community and continue to keep Bryan and Seann’s memory alive.  
The Benson family said they wanted to see the money used to support local food pantries and the Youngers Family wished to help organizations that support youth with disadvantages.
On Jan 13, 2021 the Warminster Rotary Foundation Board of Directors voted to establish the Bryan Benson and Seann Campbell Memorial Fund with the $61,545.86, which is separate from their operating fund.
The first distributions were made to the following organizations: $2,500 to the Warminster Food Bank, Warminster, PA; $2,500 to the Lehman Methodist Church Food Pantry, Hatboro, PA; $2,500 to the St. John Lutheran Church Food Pantry, Hatboro, PA; and $2,500 to the Hopes and Dreams Foundation, Southampton, PA. 
Every distributed check will include how the fund was established and the wishes of the family to have their sons remembered.

Changing Lives
Rotary has seven areas of focus that change lives.  Promoting Peace, Fighting Disease, Clean Water/Sanitation/Hygiene, Saving Mothers and Children, Supporting Education, Growing Local Economies, and Protecting the Environment.  Read on to see a sampling of how the Warminster Rotary Club serves these areas of focus.
 
 
COMMUNITY/LOCAL ENGAGEMENT
Warminster Day, June 2022
Pictured here are Rotarian Mike Cerino of the Warminster Food Bank, Rotarian Craig Schmidt, PE Karin Suttmann, Rotarian Russell Dunchock and Honorary Rotarian Dan Finello.  Warminster Day is an annual community event that celebrates our town.  The day was filled with entertainment, activities, food and overall goodwill.  A number of Rotarians participated by manning our tent and meeting new friends.

SUPPORTING FAMILIES 
 The Warminster Rotary Club proudly supports The Warminster Food Bank, serving families with food insecurity.  The October 2022 food drive was a roaring good time! Pictured here is Rotarian and Director of the Warminster Food Bank, Mike Cerino!

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
The Warminster Rotary club actively participates in caring for our environment.  Pictured here are members helping remove invasive species at our community park and cleaning up a water basin in the township. 
 
          
 
 
CLEAN WATER/SANITATION/HYGIENE
A few hours on a Saturday cleaning up a water basin in the community is a lot more than just picking up trash.  It results in Municipal Authority services to work for the community efficiently.
       
 
PROMOTING PEACE
Promoting peace is something at the heart of every Rotarian world wide.  We apply the four-way test, an ethical standard to the things we think, say or do.   Is it the truth?  Is it fair to all concerned?  Will it promote good will and better friendships?  Is it beneficial to all concerned?
