As part of our Centennial celebration, we’re shining a spotlight on the meaningful projects our club has supported for over 100 years—including our long-standing partnership with the Indian Valley Public Library. Join us for a special dinner featuring author Julie Henning, the adopted daughter of Pulitzer Prize–winning author Pearl S. Buck.

Wildlife rehabilitation organizations are dynamic, mission-driven nonprofits on the front lines of protecting wild animals and the ecosystems we all rely on. Powered by generous donors, dedicated grants, and passionate volunteers, they provide compassionate, round-the-clock care to thousands of injured and orphaned animals every year. Beyond rescue and recovery, these organizations inspire our community through hands-on education about coexisting responsibly with the wildlife around us. This vital work demands expert training, rigorous permits, and an incredible investment of time and heart—all focused on one powerful goal: returning healthy animals to the wild and safeguarding the natural balance that strengthens our entire community. Rotary member Kelli Scarlett, a committed rehabilitation volunteer, will share firsthand stories of this impactful work and explore how ethical decision-making in wildlife care reflects the principles of Rotary’s Four-Way Test.

Wellbeing, Purpose, and the Ripple Effect of One Inspired Choice

Lori reveals how transformation begins with one inspired choice: the choice to live an extraordinary life. When individuals choose alignment, joy, and renewed wellbeing, everything expands—clarity strengthens, purpose awakens, and the energy to uplift others flows naturally. Drawing from her own reinvention and the transformational retreat experiences she curates, Lori shows how honoring your whole self sparks the confidence, creativity, and compassion that create meaningful change in the world.

This uplifting session guides individuals to reconnect with their values, celebrate their strengths, and cultivate micro-moments of self-love and self-renewal that fuel purposeful action. When people feel centered and aligned, their impact radiates outward—into their families, workplaces, and communities—creating a powerful ripple effect of possibility and service. Attendees leave energized, purpose-driven, and ready to elevate the world around them through the extraordinary life they choose.

Join us for the Souderton Telford Rotary Strategic Planning Session as we look ahead and shape the next two years of our club’s impact. Our Centennial year has been a proven success thanks to thoughtful, advance planning and the contributions of members from across our club—and now we need that same commitment from everyone. The Strategic Planning Committee and Board of Directors will present three key areas of focus and are seeking your ideas, feedback, and vision. This is an important opportunity to be heard, collaborate with fellow Rotary Members, and help set meaningful goals for our future. Please plan to attend and be fully engaged as we work together to build on our momentum.

Our featured speaker is Ed Sweeney, a certified weather forecaster and longtime storm chaser with more than 20 years of experience tracking some of the most powerful storms in the country. From witnessing over 60 tornadoes across the Great Plains, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic to chasing hurricanes, derechos, and blizzards, Ed brings firsthand stories and incredible insight into the science — and adrenaline — of severe weather.

His work has been featured by the Royal Meteorological Society, and he has appeared on outlets including Fox 29 Philadelphia, Sky News, and Fox News. Most recently, his local storm reports helped contribute to the first-ever “Particularly Dangerous Situation” tornado warning issued in the State of Delaware.

Come for fellowship, stay for an unforgettable presentation on extreme weather, storm chasing, and the power of nature in action. Guests are always welcome!
