Operation Pollination celebrated Bat Week

Pioneer Pavilion in Mill Creek Park proved to be a perfect venue for the October Beers, Cheers, and Gears event to celebrate Bat Week. The dimly lit pavilion had all the ambiance of a pre-Halloween celebration, complete with food, drink, and bats. Well, not live bats, but a beautiful bat house that was donated by Jeff Harvey of Wild Birds Unlimited. The bat house was raffled off, and was won by Larry Bozick.
 
A crowd of about 35 guests enjoyed a presentation about bats from Nick Derico, Natural Resources Steward for Mill Creek MetroParks, who answered many well-thought out questions afterwards. Most bats that are native to Ohio eat insects, and can consume up to their body weight in insects each night. Eating all these insects helps protect food crops and forests from insect pests, saving farmers and forest managers billions of dollars each year.

Rotary Continues to Put Kids First

RCY members assisted as Chaney Middle School students received science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) learning kits on Oct. 29.
 
The “Learning Lunchboxes” were supplied by the Center of Science and Industry, a science museum and research center in Columbus that aims to provide 50,000 free take-home kits in Ohio’s 611 school districts to enhance in-class learning. RCY sweetened the deal by helping with packaging and distribution on Friday afternoon at the school.
Rotarian Justin Jennings, chief executive officer of Youngstown City Schools, requested the club’s participation. President John Prest, Past President Samantha Turner and member Barbara Brothers were among the volunteers.
 
Each box contains five activities that augment Ohio’s learning standards while promoting apprecation of STEAM, culture and history.
COSI provided enough Learning Lunches to enable Rotarian Becky Keck, president of SMARTS Community Art School, to secure some for her students. 
The learning kits have been distributed since March in socially distanced events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
