Hello Akron Rotarians - it's that time of year again when we gather Acme Receipts! Please assist us in earning community cash back by saving your Acme Receipts dated August 1 to February 15, 2027, and sending them to the camp office, or turning them into Kelly at Rotary Lunch. The funds raised through Community Cashback will help provide essential program supplies. Thank you for your support!

Kind regards,

Help us spotlight Akron Rotary volunteers

If you spot our Rotarians volunteering in the community - snap a picture and <Email the photo to us> with the name(s) of people in the photo and the activity. 
Even if it is just you - get a selfie and send it our way!! 

One of the most important ways we live out Rotary's commitment to youth is by ensuring that every member completes our annual Youth Protection Awareness training. This training is required for all Rotary Club of Akron members each fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) and helps us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for the youth we serve through our programs and activities.

If you have not yet completed this year's training, please check your inbox for an email from NAYEN Training Administrator (noreply@nayen.org) with the subject line "Rotary District 6630 Training Course: Youth Protection Awareness." The email contains your personal link to access the training. If you cannot locate the email, please be sure to check your spam or junk folder as well.

To date, only 17 members have completed this year's training. We need everyone's participation to ensure our club remains compliant and continues to uphold Rotary's commitment to youth protection. The training is straightforward, completed online, and only takes a short amount of time.

If you have not yet completed your training, please make it a priority to do so as soon as possible. Protecting youth is everyone's responsibility, and your participation helps the Rotary Club of Akron continue creating a safe and lasting impact in our community.

If you have any questions or experience any issues accessing the training, please contact me directly at michael.h.gladysz@huntington.com and I will be happy to assist.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important requirement and for your continued commitment to Rotary's mission and values.
