Community Events From Broomall Rotary and Marple Business & Professional Association

The business leaders in Marple Township offer exciting events and oportunities for you and your children through their work with Broomall Rotary and Marple Business and Professional Association.

Thanks for taking a minute to check out my new blog. I think the nice people from Patch.com got so tired of me sending them so many community related press releases about Broomall Rotary, the Marple Business and Professional Association, and other events, that they decided to just give me a blog of my own. Actually it was really quite nice of them, and I hope to do my best to keep everyone informed about all the great stuff that happens here in Marple.               

As a member and past president of the Broomall Rotary Club I can tell you from experience that through the course of the year there are dozens of projects that local Rotarians do to make Marple a better place to live. I hope to fill you in on great stuff like the Jr. Olympics, FREE pictures with Santa, the July 4thFire Cracker 5 K Run, Holiday Giving for the Needy in Marple, Rotary’s Doggie Fun Day, scholarships for Marple students, and tons of other stuff you and your kids will not want to miss. There are over 100 kids at Marple Newtown High School involved in Rotary’s Interact and you will want to check in to hear about the many charitable projects those kids do as well. They are truly a bunch to be proud of! And of course Rotary’s guest speakers offer a unique view of some of the most interesting topics and other community activities.               

For those of you interested in keeping up with what is happening with the business and professional scene here in Marple, I will also have lots of updates on what is happening with the MBPA. If you are not yet a member, the MBPA has been an advocate for our business community, protecting and informing businesses, and when required, acting as a bridge between the local government and the business community to help Marple grow in the right direction. Strong businesses mean good jobs, which means a strong tax base, and better schools and community services.

The MBPA and Broomall Rotary help make Marple what it is… a great place to live and do business! If you agree, please take the time to check in on me from time to time. Together we can make Marple Township even better. Learn about what is going on here and get involved. We need to work together to keep Marple the great community that we love.               

BTW: Most people know me as the guy who has been running Kehler’s Gymnastics and Kids Fun Factory in the Lawrence Park Industrial Center for more than 30 years. Yes, that’s a long time as you can tell by my gray hair, and I probably taught some of your when you were kids. If you see me there please feel free to say “Hi!” It’s always great to see old faces and meet some new ones.
