A large group of West Chester Rotarians were among the 500 Rotarians in District 7450 to attend the Phillies versus Milwaukee Brewers baseball game on Tuesday. An annual event of District 7450, some Rotarians made it a family affair. The Schwabs attended with son Matt and their grandchildren, the Sammarone family was there, and Paul Woodruff brought his grandson. Among others spotted in the crowd were Doug Meis, Melissa Baxter, Corey Cahill, and Kate Diffendorf.The evening started off with a District tailgate party from 4 to 6 p.m. with hot dogs, snack bags and beverages.
Not only was this a fun and fellowship event, but $10 of each ticket, and $9 of each $20 tee shirt that was sold went to the Rotary International effort, END POLIO NOW. In addition, the donations were matched by the Gates Foundation two to one, so each ticket yielded a donation of $30 to END POLIO NOW!
To top off the evening, the Phillies won their 4th straight victory. No doubt it was due to the cheering from District 7450 Rotarians! Thanks to Mark Sammarone for capturing the fun photos.
